What does healthy hair look like?

We all know a healthy head of hair when we see it, thanks to its natural gloss and shiny, lustrous appearance. If your hair feels strong but still soft, with little to no breakage or excessive shedding when brushed, this is a good sign that it's in a healthy state.

Healthy hair isn’t dry or brittle, but rather it's elastic and stretches or bounces back without breaking.  It feels smooth and the strands have clean-cut or tapered tips which aren't split and frizzy.  Healthy hair also requires a healthy scalp, which is free from dandruff, excessive oil and build up.

 When your locks are in top condition, they’re resilient, manageable, and have a natural glow that speaks volumes about your overall haircare routine.

What are the signs of unhealthy hair?

Your hair can be damaged in a number of ways, including excessive heat, chemical processing, UV rays, chlorine from pools, product build up and hard water.  Many of these factors can also affect your scalp health, making the problem worse.

Unhealthy hair has no natural volume or body, is dull, dry, easy to tangle and rough to touch.  It's prone to breakage and shedding and lacks elasticity.

If this sounds like your hair, then it's time to step up your hair care game!  Maintaining healthy hair is all about consistent care and making the right choices for your locks.  These are our top tips for restoring your hair and keeping it healthy.

Invest in professional hair care products

One of the best ways to keep your hair looking its best is by using professional hair care products tailored to your hair type and needs. They really will make a difference.

Salon-quality shampoos, conditioners, and treatments are formulated with higher-quality ingredients that nourish your hair, repair damage, and protect it from environmental stressors.  Speak to your Lloyds stylist to find the right products for your particular hair concerns or visit our online shop to see our full range of hair care products from Kevin Murphy, Eleven Australia, BC Bonacure and more.

Add a hair mask to your routine

Incorporate deep-conditioning hair masks into your regular routine and see how they can transform your hair.  Hair masks are nourishing treatments which give your hair an extra boost of hydration, strengthening the strands and reducing breakage.   They can reduce frizz and static, leaving your hair soft, shiny, and manageable.  Depending on your particular hair concerns, we can also recommend masks which will promote a healthier scalp.  Speak to our team and we can recommend the right mask for you to use at home after your next appointment.

Repair damaged hair with a K18 treatment

If your hair is in need of more advanced TLC, we recommend booking an in-salon K18 treatment.  These treatments are a game-changer for damaged hair, working on a molecular level to repair your locks from the inside, restoring strength and elasticity.

Healthy food = healthy hair 

Great hair starts from within, so it’s important to support your locks with a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Foods like salmon, eggs, spinach, and nuts are excellent for promoting strong, shiny hair.

Staying hydrated is just as crucial; drinking plenty of water keeps your scalp healthy and your hair hydrated from root to tip.  By following a healthy, balanced eating plan, you can achieve hair that is stronger, shinier and thicker.  

Be gentle with your hair

Give your hair the TLC it deserves and it will repay you with healthy looking locks.  Be careful when washing and brushing it, using wide-toothed combs and detangling brushes.   Avoid washing it too often and don't rub it with a towel when you do wash it.  If you can bear to, rinse your hair in cold water to smooth the cuticle back down and lock in moisture from your conditioner.

Make sure you use a protector for your hair when heat styling or swimming in chlorinated pools - ask us for advice on the right products. 

Finally, be sure to avoid tight hairstyles, and only use soft and damage-free hair ties.

Book regular trims to beat split ends

To have healthy hair, you need to invest in regular hair cuts to prevent breakage and trim off split ends.   When left, split ends can travel up the hair shaft,  causing further breakage and making the hair appear thinner and less healthy.  

Regular haircuts will also help to maintain your hair's texture and shape, making it easier to style and preventing tangles.  And although hair cuts can't actually make your hair grow faster, they can create the illusion of growth by preventing breakage and allowing your healthier hair to flourish.

By combining professional care, the right products, and healthy lifestyle choices, you can keep your hair looking its absolute best every day.
