How to make your hair soft and silky

1.Avoid washing your hair daily. Your hair follicles produce natural oils (lipids) which add shine and softness; washing your hair repeatedly with harsh chemicals (such as those present in most shampoos) removes these oils. While removing them is necessary as they build up and become greasy in appearance over time, washing your hair every day can strip away the healthy oils. Wash at least once a week and no more than twice a week for the right balance.

2.Avoid dyes. The pre-treatment (usually with ammonia) makes the hair strand weak and the follicles damaged. Repeatedly using hair colors will make your hair dry, dull and lifeless.

3.Stay away from heat products. Using blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons burn your hair and create split ends. This dry, fragile, and broken hair will be difficult to smooth and appear dead and dull. Try using heating tools as little as possible, or avoid them altogether. Always let your hair air dry after you wash it. If you must use a blower, use it without heat.

4.Take vitamin supplements. Certain supplements, such as Omega-3 oil, fish egg phospholipids, and vitamin E, improve the shine and growth of your hair. Purchase these in a gel-capsule form from a local health food store, and take them on a daily basis.

5.Trim off split ends. Over time, your hair will look damaged and dry if it is not trimmed as a result of split ends. Take time every 3-4 months to get a hair trim, and watch the shine of your hair significantly improve.

Hope this helps :)
