Trim Regularly
Hair ends can become damaged, dry, and split from coloring, styling, or even frequent brushing. Over time, this can make your hair look unhealthy. It’s a cliché, but it’s true: if you trim the ends of your hair by half a centimeter every month, your hair will look vibrant, thick, and shiny because the damaged ends will be removed.
Care for Your Scalp
In addition to cleaning your hair, use shampoos that also care for your scalp. Shampoos containing avocado or coconut oil are great options. They nourish and strengthen the scalp, and a strong scalp is the best foundation for healthy hair. When shampooing, take a few minutes to massage your scalp to stimulate blood circulation and encourage a healthy scalp.
The Right Cut
Leaving long layers in the front of your hair can create the illusion of longer hair. Julianne Moore and Brooke Shields’ hairstylist, Sarah Potempa, says she frequently uses this technique. She also notes that long layers in the front are often preferred for square and round faces because they make the face appear slimmer.
Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo cleans your hair without stripping the beneficial oils from your scalp. Plus, long hair can be heavy and fall flat. By massaging dry shampoo into your roots, you can add volume to your hair.
Add Some Color
Long, dark hair is beautiful, but doesn’t it sometimes look like a blanket? Adding some color and highlights can be a good idea. Highlights will make your hair look shiny and vibrant.
