Natural tips and tricks to make hair clean longer

How can we do to have always clean and shiny hair without washing it every day? Find out in this article what the tricks and remedies are to keep hair clean and healthy for a long time.

Having your hair always clean and shiny is an essential aspect of everyone’s life. Hair, especially if long, must be clean, tidy, and give the idea of care and health.

Especially for those with oily hair and with dandruff, it is tough to keep hair clean for a long time because the excess of sebum greases the skin and inevitably dirties the hair from the root. Many people try to solve this problem by purchasing degreasing and dandruff hair products to be used both as a shampoo and as a lotion.

Not everyone knows that these products are sometimes aggressive and create a hydro-lipid imbalance that can worsen the problem. In this case, the sebaceous glands will be stimulated even more to produce fatty substances to preserve the right level of hydration on the skin.

Also, keep in mind that, if you have sensitive skin, these degreasing products may create annoying and long-lasting allergies and dermatitis to cure

So how can you make your hair look longer naturally? There are many active ingredients in nature that help us preserve the health and well-being of our hair. Let’s see immediately what our tips and tricks are to have clean and healthy long hair!

1. Use a shampoo suitable for our hair type

It may seem trivial, but the basic cleaning of the skin and hair begins with choosing the right product according to our characteristics and needs. This means that it will be important to choose a neutral shampoo based on lavender, chamomile, or mauve on delicate hair and sensitive skin.

We recommend using a tea tree, lavender, lemon, or bergamot shampoo on the oily scalp. On dry hair, a shampoo based on rosemary or nettle will be useful.

2. A healthy lifestyle

We know very well that our external appearance is the image of our state of health, and nutrition plays a fundamental role in a healthy appearance. Having a balanced diet low in saturated fats and sugars but rich in vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for the body will also help you have healthy and strong hair. It is also important to practice sport and movement at least 3 times a week to stay fit and maintain our state of well-being.

3. Avoid restructuring oils without rinsing

There are many cosmetic products for hair on an oily and oily basis; these are dry restructuring oils with a light consistency that can grease the hair, even if used only on the ends. We advise you to use masks, wraps, and vegetable oils before washing your hair to prevent greasy substances from greasing and weighing down your hair.

4. Baking soda to eliminate excess sebum

Using baking soda on hair and scalp is very useful for keeping it clean for long-time thanks to its sebum-regulating and degreasing properties. In addition, baking soda regulates the pH and has a gentle action on the skin.

We advise you to prepare this simple compress: in a glass bowl, put two tablespoons of baking soda, a few drops of disinfectant lemon, and natural yogurt just enough to create a homogeneous mixture. Apply the compress to the hair and leave it on for 25 minutes. Then, proceed with normal washing using a mild shampoo. You can repeat this treatment two or three times a month.

5. Use natural hair dyes

Natural hair dyes can contain a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide, which allows the color to stick to the hair and tend to dry it. So especially if you have oily hair and if you need a tint, we recommend that you proceed with a natural product that also contains nourishing and restructuring ingredients.

6. Aloe vera juice to cleanse the body

In addition to leading a healthy and moving life, we recommend that you purify your body twice a year by taking pure aloe vera juice. Aloe vera is an excellent detoxifier for the body and has a very effective purifying action.

Aloe vera is rich in nutrients, and anti-inflammatory substances strengthen the immune system and help to give energy to the body. Also, it improves the health of skin and hair, strengthening and making them brighter. However, we advise you to contact your herbalist or pharmacist to buy the best product for your needs.

7. Apple cider vinegar for shiny hair

Apple cider vinegar has the function of polishing hair and making it shine for a long time. Also, it regulates the production of sebum by eliminating excess fat, which is the cause of the greasy appearance. You can use apple cider vinegar to rinse your hair after shampooing.

Or, we recommend adding a spoonful of apple cider vinegar to your ready-to-use hair mask. In this way, you will make your hair clean and shiny for a long time.

8. Lemon juice for shiny hair

Pure lemon juice is a real cure for our hair and our skin because it has disinfectant, antiseptic, and rebalancing properties of excess sebum. Also, lemon has a polishing effect that will keep your hair cleaner for a long time. Just add a few drops of lemon in your shampoo or your ready-made hair mask. In addition, you can enrich your hair products with a few drops of lemon every time you use them.

9. Avoid touching your hair too much with your hands

Many people have the vice or pleasure of touching their hair frequently, rolling the locks with their fingers, moving the fringe, or the tuft with their hands. These gestures, which are often automatic, can help dirty the hair or give it an unnatural shape that will give the impression of little care and disorder.

10. Reduce the use of hats

It is difficult to do without a hat that can protect us from the cold during the winter, but keep in mind that any hat flattens the hair giving it an unnatural shape, and the hair, after a few hours, may appear flattened and a little greasy. So we advise you, if you can, to let your hair breathe so that it stays clean for a long time.
