How to Have Gorgeous Long Hair

Long lustrous locks turns head, that is a fact

Long, loose, and free locks are a definite “in” thing this coming season. Long health hair is a sure way to grab attention that is why it is important to take extremely good care of your hair once it has grown very long. 

Brittle and coarse strands make for an unhealthy looking mane that looks downright unattractive! With these steps popPRETTY put together for our readers, we’ll have your long tresses looking shiny and gorgeous!

Step #1: Wash and Wear

Make sure to wash your hair according to its needs. For most people, washing your hair everyday is a bit too much. You need the natural oil on your hair to keep it looking shiny and smooth. Washing daily strips our scalps of this essential oil. What we suggest is to wash your hair every other day instead of a daily wash.

Oily hair-day? Baby powder offers a quick fix!

The exception of course is for women with more-than-average oily hair. An alternative plan for oily hair that requires less washing is to use a dry shampoo or, even cheaper and easier to find, baby powder! Yup, baby powder absorbs the oil from your hair to make your tresses look tidier. Just put about a teaspoon of baby powder on your scalp where hair tends to be it’s oilest and brush it out. The powder will absorb the oil.

Step #2: Shampoo and Conditioner

Our beauty editor swears by Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner

Products that nourish and make hair healthy are very important. The type of hair products you choose must match your hair type. Find out whether your hair is oily, dry, brittle, colored or frizzy. Conditioning is a must when it comes to taming wild tresses, making your hair frizz-free and glowing!

Step #3: Brush and Brush

A quality brush is an investment worth making. Your hair will be thanking you!

Investing in a high-quality brush will help pave the way to beautiful hair, especially when dealing with longer strands. Not only does it untangle all those unsightly and messy knots, it makes your long locks appear smoother and shinier by distributing the natural oils from your scalp.

Step #4: Trimming Ends

Jennifer Aniston has inspired haircuts all over the world for the past dozen years and counting!

Another way to care for long hair is to trim it every 6-8 weeks. This allows your hair to grow naturally and brilliantly by cutting off unhealthy split ends. Trimming your hair will also remove excess weight that may lead to having frizzy and brittle strands.

Step #5: Change Your Lifestyle

If a Victoria's Secret model knows she needs to work out and does it, so should us mere mortals!

How you live your life affects the growth and state of your mane. Eating healthy, drinking lots of liquids, getting the right amount of rest and exercise are contributing factors to having stronger and more beautiful hair. Food rich in the good types of oil such as nuts and fish can add a sparkling shine to your hair. And, these foods are great for your heart’s health too! That’s hitting two birds with one stone.

Let's not kid ourselves. Mermaid-like hair does require some loving care.

Maintaining long locks may be hard work with a long to-do list but when each strand is vibrant and glowing, we’re sure there is not a single step you’ll regret you did!
