When you style, brush and look at your hair every day, it can be difficult to determine how healthy your hair is. There is no point in comparing it to your friends and family as everyone’s hair is different. However, there are certain factors that make up generally healthy hair. As a professional hair salon in Lindfield, Envy Room is very passionate about healthy hair and helping our clients maintain the health of their hair.
We have created this checklist to help you determine just how healthy your hair is!
Smooth Strands
Take one strand between two fingers and roll it around. Slide your fingers up and down the strand. Does it feel smooth and slippery? This is a sign that your hair is healthy and in good condition.
Natural Shine
Shiny hair is often an indication of healthy hair. This is because when your hair is healthy and well hydrated, the scales of your cuticle lay flat and reflect light that catches it and give it that shiny effect that we all want.
Minimal Hair Loss
While it is very normal to shed hair every day (it is simply part of your hair’s growth cycle), it is not normal to lose a lot of hair. Minimal hair loss is an indicator of normal, healthy, and well-hydrated hair.
Easy to Style
Having manageable hair that is fairly easy to style and does what you want it to means your hair is healthy!
Minimal Breakage
Split ends are usually an indicator of hair not well cared for. So if you are at a point in your hair journey where you are enjoying minimal split ends and minimal breakage, then your hair is healthy, and it will most likely experience more growth.
Cope With Humidity
A great way to test the health of your hair is to inspect it in very humid conditions. If your hair is very porous and under-hydrated, it will cling to the moisture in the air and become very frizzy very easily. If this is you, you need to add more moisture to your hair care routine.
