Besides a new hair cut or color, you will also need to take proper care for your hair to prevent it from needless damage. Take advantage of the tips below on proper hair care.

1. Natural sebum hair oil

One of the key elements to having shiny, healthy asian hair is to allow the natural oils in the scalp to lubricate it naturally. The hair closest to the scalp benefit from natural sebum oils the most while the hair further away benefit less. Thus, long hair can become dry and brittle from a lack of these natural sebum oils.

2. Shampooing your hair

While shampoos perform a simple job of removing excess oils, pollution and styling product residue that build up on the hair. All of your hair needs is gentle cleansing on the top two or three inches of your asian hair from your hair roots, which is most concentrated with natural hair sebum oil. Try to prevent intense washing of your hair (such as washing your hair 2 or more times a day), as this will reduce the amount of natural hair sebum oil on your hair, which can be good for your hair with the right oil balance. Intense washing will strip the natural hair sebum oils.

4. Hair style and cut

Besides relying on natural hair sebum oil, your hair will look good when you choose a style that requires the least maintenance, such as using of stying items like hair dyers, flat irons, hair gel etc.  Choosing a style that suits the texture of your hair will also eliminate the need for harsh styling tools.

4.  Asian hair that is permed and dyed needs to have intense conditioning at least once a week. If your hair is extremely damaged, professionals will recommend an intense hair mask (for use from mid-hair down) instead of using your daily conditioner.

5. Many hair dryers are  great at speeding up the hair drying process, but professionals note that they are supposed to be held high above the hair instead of near it or touching it, so as to avoid overheating and damage. Experts recommend removing the hair dyer nozzle and point your dryer in a downward motion when drying your hair. It is also advisable to apply a heat-protectant leave in hair treatment or conditioner on damp hair before you use the hair dryer, this will help to protect your asian hair against the heat.

Touching up means only your roots and new grown hair will be worked on and the hair dye will not be left on hair for long, so this also mean less damage.

11. If you just colored your hair, experts suggest refraining from washing your hair for the next 72 hours, so as to protect the hair color from fading and washing out.

When you wash your hair, be sure to use only color-safe hair shampoo and conditioner that can help to protect the hair color.
