To best care for your hair in-between visits to the salon<\/strong>, it\u2019s important to tailor your hair care and styling routine to your hair type<\/strong>. Your hair type is determined by your hair\u2019s curl pattern, and typically falls into one of 4 categories: straight, wavy, curly, or coily. Within those categories, hair can vary in density from fine to thick, and in porosity (how well hair soaks up moisture).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, there are a few common hair care tips that apply to all hair types: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Get regular haircuts.<\/strong> Some hair types can go a long time between trims without much damage. But it\u2019s generally good to get regular haircuts to keep your ends fresh and prevent breakage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Turn down the temp.<\/strong> To prevent unnecessary moisture loss, wash your hair with lukewarm water instead of hot. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Evaluate your diet.<\/strong> Make sure you are getting enough more protein<\/a> (prevents brittleness and dryness), iron (makes hair grow faster), vitamin A (aids with natural oil production), vitamin C (aids in collagen production), and omega-3 fatty acids (keeps hair hydrated and improves scalp health).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Beyond these basics, you will get the best results if your routine addresses your hair\u2019s specific needs. Here\u2019s our roundup of at-home hair care tips for every hair type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
