Increasingly, women and girls wish to grow long or middle long hair. However, it requires patience, attention and special care. What to take into account if you want to grow long hair or if you already have long hair?
1. Long hair cannot be treated with the same products throughout hair length because the roots usually are healthy and slightly oily, but the hair ends are more dry and brittle, therefore the roots and the ends require different products;
2. Balms, mousses and caring masks have to be used only on problematic areas;
3. If your hair ends splits and are dry, choose the products that are rich with protein-substances, which are specially made for hair ends;
4. If the scalp causes problems, choose a product that is suitable for this area as a main product, but at the same time choose some product that is gentler and lighter to nourish hair after washing;
5. Caring of coloured and uncoloured hair is different;
6. It is recommended to dye or tone long hair, as uncoloured hair are slightly grey, therefore they look dim and greasy; these problems can be solved by hair colouring;
7. Dark, coloured hair have to be treated with products that maintain hair colour and moisturise the hair;
8. If the hair are coloured light, they need products that are meant for dry and brittle hair;
9. Long hair have to be dried in direction of hair growth, thereby smoothing hair cuticles and making them shiny and obedient;
10. When drying hair, choose the regime of warm air, and the optimal distance between the hair-dryer and hair is approximately 10 centimetres;
11. Prefer hair brushes with natural bristles in order to prevent hair of static electricity and relieve hair combing;
12. Working with diffuser, use products for curly hair or makers and restorers of curls;
13. Diffuser, as it is known, is not hair-dryer or brush – hair have to be put on the diffuser, roots have to be slightly lifted and twirled; with diffuser you can get both volume and curls;
14. Wet, liquid gels should not be used for long hair – they flattens the hair; choose gels with creamy or waxy consistency;
15. Do not over-nourish your hair with nourishing hair masks – they should not be used more frequently than once a week.
