Hairdressers Hertford Harpenden Johnson Blythe Platinum BlondeHow To Tell If Your Hair Is Healthy

The first step to caring for your hair is figuring out if it’s healthy or not. If your hair is in good condition, it should appear shiny and strong, but still feel soft to the touch. Another sign of healthy hair is a healthy scalp that’s free from dandruff or an excessive oil build up.

When brushed, you shouldn’t see too many strands falling out or breaking off, and tips shouldn’t be split and frizzy. 

Signs Your Hair Needs Attention

There are many factors that contribute to damaged hair, including excessive heat from dryers and straighteners, washing your hair with hard water, and chlorine from swimming pools. 

Unhealthy hair tends to appear dull, flat, knotty and rough to the touch. It also sheds easily and is prone to breakages.

If this describes your hair, don’t worry! There are plenty of things you can do to revive tired locks and make this your best hair year yet, so keep reading.

If you want to keep split ends and breakage at bay, it’s essential to schedule regular trims. When left too long, split ends travel up the hair shaft, resulting in breakages further up. 

Trimming also helps to keep your hair from thinning, so trims should never be skipped. Speak to your stylist about how often you should be trimming your hair.

Show your hair some love with these care tips:

  • Gently detangle with a wide-toothed comb or a specialist detangling brush to minimise breakage.
  • Wash less often and pat hair dry instead of rubbing it with a towel to prevent damage.
  • Rinse with cold water after washing to smooth the cuticle and lock in essential moisture.
  • Protect your hair with L'Oreal's heat protectant sprays, whether you’re styling with heat tools or swimming.
  • Avoid tight hairstyles and switch to soft, snag-free hair ties to reduce stress on your strands.

With the right products and care, your hair will stay healthy, glossy, and full of life!

Great hair begins with a healthy, balanced diet. Eating nutrient-rich foods like salmon, eggs, spinach, and nuts provides essential vitamins, minerals, and proteins that promote strong, shiny locks.

Hydration is just as important! Drinking plenty of water keeps your scalp healthy and ensures your hair stays moisturised from root to tip. When you nourish your body, your hair becomes thicker, glossier, and more resilient—a true reflection of overall well-being.
