Before You Go Out

Before going out to the beach or pool, comb your hair with a little conditioner. This helps protect it from the sun, chlorine and salt water.

Invest in a hair conditioner that contains a sunscreen. The heat will activate the conditioner and soften your hair, while the sunscreen will prevent UV rays from causing any damage.

You could also massage some of your sunscreen into your hair.

Wear a hat, cap or scarf if you can, to protect your hair from over-exposure to the environment.

While Sleeping

Even the way you sleep can affect your hair. Restless sleepers may actually break hair while sleeping.

If you are a restless sleeper, try a satin pillowcase so that the hair glides when you move in your sleep.

You could also tie your hair up in a high ponytail. Always use cloth rubber bands (scrunchie).

Watch Your Diet

Eat a balanced and sensible diet to ensure that you get your essential nutrients.

Supplement your diet with vitamins and drink plenty of water.

Facial for Your Hair?

With the cumulative damage that stress, fashion and pollution causes, healthy hair might seem impossible.

But that's where hair spa treatments come into play. Specific treatments such as Richfeel's Tricho-Scalp Treatment are designed to nourish, detoxify and rejuvenate your hair and scalp.

If your hair problems are severe, visit your Trichologist for an expert opinion.
