Healthy, vibrant hair can make a big difference in how you feel every day. With the right routine and supportive nutrients, you can help keep your hair looking strong, smooth, and nourished. Here are five simple, science-supported habits to promote overall hair wellness.†
1. Avoid Overwashing
Washing your hair too frequently can remove natural oils that help keep strands soft and hydrated. For most people, washing about twice a week is ideal. Swap hot water for lukewarm to help maintain moisture, and choose air-drying instead of heat styling to reduce breakage.
2. Boost Moisture with Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is widely used for its deeply moisturizing properties. Try massaging a small amount into your hair, wrapping it in a towel, and letting it sit before rinsing. This simple treatment can help support softness, shine, and manageability.†
3. Switch to a Satin Pillowcase
Cotton pillowcases can create friction while you sleep, which may contribute to tangles and breakage. Satin pillowcases generate far less friction, helping your hair stay smoother overnight and reducing morning frizz.
4. Massage Your Scalp
Scalp massage can help support healthy circulation, which nourishes the roots of your hair. Try using your fingertips in small, gentle circles for a few minutes each day. It’s a relaxing ritual that may also help promote a sense of well-being.†
5. Support Hair Health with Nutrition
Nutrient intake plays an important role in hair wellness. Emphasize a balanced diet rich in:
-
Fresh fruits and vegetables
-
Lean proteins
-
Whole grains
Some people also look to supportive nutrients such as MSM, evening primrose oil, ginkgo, and flax seed—all of which contribute to overall hair and skin wellness.†
