Can hair be 100% healthy? How to tell that? If you want to know whether your hair is in pristine condition, learn its most characteristic features. Thanks to this you will be able to define whether your strands need help.

How to recognize healthy hair?

You can tell that hair is healthy if it’s thick, shiny and when its colour is intensive. Remember though that neither thickness nor the amount of hair determine the state of hair. What’s more, healthy hair might get frizzy, curly and be damaged on lengths.

Healthy hair – Characteristic features

1. Healthy hair ends or lack of split ends

There is no such hair which ends are 100% healthy. Even ends of glossy and smooth strands might be split. On the other hand, curly and matte hair doesn’t have to be damaged in the same way. It also must be realized that hair of each of us loses its good condition in various ways and pace. Also, each hair type reacts differently to aggressive factors.

2. Shine

Healthy hair shines naturally owing to its ability to bounce off light. To explore this issue further, hair that hasn’t been dyed reflects light naturally, whereas colour-treated hair shines intensively but only for a few days since the colourization; this ability to reflect light is strictly connected with using the dye. Bleached hair is matte contrary to low porous hair which shine is intensive, even in daylight.

3. Healthy scalp

If scalp is healthy, hair is healthy too. No dandruff, itchiness, or too much of sebum guarantee that strands will remain healthy and pretty. While defining hair condition, you shouldn’t only take into consideration its length but also the condition of scalp.

Is your hair healthy?

It’s hardly possible to find a person whose hair is 100% healthy. It’s caused by the fact that we keep exposing the strands to damage during our daily beauty routine: by combining it and even while sleeping and putting on clothes. It’s also worth realising that the way hair looks isn’t exactly what determines its health – it’s more about the way you treat the strands in: whether you keep supplying it with the nourishing substances, if you apply matching beauty products, whether you prevent damages and if you expose the hair to thermal and chemical treatments often.
