12條快速護髮秘訣
1.嘗試剪短髮。較長的頭髮是舊頭髮，就得頭髮是受到損傷的頭髮。為了讓頭髮保持年輕，剪短髮吧。
2清洗頭髮時動作要輕，不要用力過猛的擦洗。最好的方法是從頭髮前額慢慢往腦後輕輕揉洗。這有助於減少角質層的剝落，保持角質層的健康狀況，使頭髮保持光澤，持續時間更長。
3.如果你是乾性頭髮，盡量避免每天洗頭，如果可以的話，嘗試隔天洗一次。因為洗髮水會破壞頭髮纖維。它也會帶走油脂。好動的小朋友或者工作環境的衛生條件很差的朋友可能需要每天洗頭，在這種情況下，要盡量選擇非常柔和的洗髮水，以減少對頭髮的損失。
4.使用柔和的洗髮水。買洗髮水之前，仔細擦好看其成分，避免買任何含有洗潔劑，如十二烷基硫酸鈉的洗髮水。
5。避免使用含有植物精油的洗髮水。這種洗髮水相當受歡迎，但是含有相當強烈的油脂物質。最好使用含有輕礦物油的洗髮水，它對頭髮纖維和皮膚的損傷相當較小。如果您堅持使用油基植物洗髮水，那就找一種霍霍巴油試試。
6.如果你的頭髮非常的干燥，就用濕潤劑含量比較高的洗髮水。非裔美國人的頭髮一般特別乾燥，一般選擇這類產品能夠滿足他們的特殊需求。使用的時候有，由於含有刺激頭皮的油脂，所以要密切關注你頭皮的反應，一旦產生副作用，請立即停用。
7.使用一種發膏。洗髮水和發膏搭配著用對一般髮質已經足夠，但是對於特別乾燥的頭髮使用效果不太明顯。
8.如果你有很乾燥的頭髮，應該馬上的停止使用鬆弛頭髮之類的護膚品。因為任何具有鬆弛的頭髮的化學反應都會破壞頭髮角質層和皮層。這會造成頭髮的永久性的損失，這樣你乾燥的頭髮將變得更糟糕。
9. 非洲裔美國人的頭髮比亞洲人或者白人含有更多的硫蛋白，這意味著他們的頭髮更容易受到頭髮鬆弛產品的影響，應該盡量考慮這些副作用較強的護理品的使用。
10.乾性頭髮有可能來自遺傳，在這種情況下，唯一的選擇就是去皮膚科；乾性也有可能是營養不良，但是在西方國家的可能性不大，因為幾乎所有的超市都有賣保健食品，而且食用保健品的普及度很高。
通常，醫院有專為頭髮通常補充像生物素，鋅，半胱氨酸，氧化矽，維生素學士，葉酸等營養元素的配方，但是不要過分補充一些可能含有高劑量的有毒物質的營養元素。您可以試試看。
11.按從髮根到發尖的方向梳頭。盡量使用金屬制的梳子。而日常常用的塑料梳子會產生靜電，更難打理乾燥的頭髮。
12.盡量避免去空氣污染嚴重的地方，避免在太陽下暴晒；反之，都會破壞頭髮的毛囊。但是這些破壞都是無法完全避免的，可以考慮戴個帽子。
Quick hair care tips
1) Consider a short hair style. Long hair is old hair. Old hair is weathered, damaged hair. To keep hair young, keep it short!
2) When washing hair don't scrub. This flakes the cuticle through rubbing the hair fibers together. It is better to "milk" the hair from the forehead backwards in the same direction. This means you are smoothing your hands over your hair in the direction that the cuticle has grown. This should help reduce cuticle flaking and with the cuticle in better condition so the hair should keep its shine for longer.
3) If you have dry hair try to avoid daily hair washing if possible. Try every other day. Shampoo can be quite damaging to the hair fiber. It's also taking away oils that you may need if you have "dry" hair. Teenagers and people who are very active or work in dirty conditions may have to wash every day in which case consider using a very mild shampoo with a separate conditioner.
4) Use a mild shampoo. Look at the shampoo ingredients. Avoid anything that contains harsh detergents such as sodium lauryl sulfate. Sodium laureth sulfate is milder and some shampoos do away with sodium sulfate based detergents altogether.
5) Avoid shampoos with plant oils in them. They are very popular, but they can be quite harsh oils. They are also more likely to promote scalp dermatitis. Find something with a light mineral oil content. Mineral oil is much less damaging to the hair fiber and skin. If you must use plant oil based shampoos look for one with Jojoba oil. This type of oil is the least allergenic of the plant oils and it cannot be utilized by bacteria as a food source.
6) If you have very dry hair, look for shampoos with humectants in them. Chemists serving African-American communities are more likely to stock these. African-Americans have particular trouble with dull, difficult hair and may find a variety of mild oil based products useful for application after washing. There is the potential for scalp irritation from the oils so pay close attention to how your scalp responds and avoid using them if you have any side effects.
7) Use a separate conditioner. These shampoo and conditioners all in one are okay for average hair but they are not good for dry hair. Separate conditioner plus very mild shampoo is much superior to a combined product. Apply conditioner in a milking fashion as with the shampoo.
8) If you have dull, dry, problem hair don't even think about dying your hair or using relaxants or similar. Any chemical action on the hair like this breaks down the chemical bonds of the hair cuticle and cortex. Permanent damage quickly sets in and your dull, dry hair will rapidly get worse.
9) African American hair has a greater amount of low sulfur protein compared to high sulfur protein than observed in Asian or Caucasian individuals. This means it is more liable to damage from relaxers, bleaching agents, and dyes. Consider avoiding these harsh chemical treatments or reducing the frequency of use.
10) Brittle hair can be a genetic problem in which case the only option is a trip to the dermatologist. It might on occasion suggest a lack of appropriate nutrients. Although this is rather unlikely with a typical western diet, you might take a look at the supplements in the health food store. There are usually formulations specifically for hair typically including things like biotin, zinc, cysteine, silica, vitamin Bs, Folic acid etc. Don't overdo supplements as some can be toxic in high doses. The recommended dosage on the bottle might be of benefit. You might try it and see.
11) Comb or brush in the direction of the cuticle (from hair root to tip). Find a metal comb or brush with metal teeth if possible. Plastic combs create static in dry hair making hair management more difficult.
12) If possible avoid air pollution and excessive exposure to sunlight both of which can act on the chemical bonds of hair follicles and increase the rate of weathering. It is difficult to avoid but consider a baseball cap or similar.
