7. Use Aspirin to Help Repair Your Hair

This might sound weird but Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid, which has some serious benefits for hair. This acid helps deep clean and remove dead cells and grease from your scalp, making it easier for your follicles to transfer oxygen. Smash one aspirin and apply the dust to your standard shampoo amount and mix it together and you are set!

8. Wear a Correctly Sized Hair Tie

Every hair thickness is not the same, so your hair tie's size being customizable is super important. Customizing the size will make sure you are not adding too much excessive pressure that can cause damage or breakage in the shaft. A custom-sized hair tie will give you the perfect, secure -- but not too tight -- hold without the damage.

9. Brush Down Baby Hairs with a Toothbrush

Annoyed by those fly-aways? Spray a toothbrush or eyebrow brush with hairspray and brush down in the specific area. 

10. Don’t Wash Your Hair Everyday

By washing your hair everyday you are stripping your hair of its natural oils, and can make your hair dry and more prone to breakage. So if you can try to wash your hair at most every other day.

26. Avoid Using Cloth or Fabric Hair Ties
Wearing cloth or fabric hair ties are similar to wearing dirty clothes day after day. They hold bacteria and odors from sweat, water, or from not replacing or washing them soon enough.

30. Avoid Teasing your Hair

Teasing your hair breaks the hair follicles and is just overall not healthy for your roots. If you want to add extra volume, turn to products or styling your hair upwards as an alternative.

Being dehydrated immediately stops hair growth! So drink plenty of water if you want to increase strength and growth.

35. Monitor your Hair Loss

We all lose a bunch of hair per day, but how much is too much? Monitor the amount of hair you lose per day to know if you are over the average of 50-100 strands a day. If you are losing more there might be a reason, and it's better to know and fix the problem earlier rather than later.

36. For Natural Made Highlights Use Lemon Juice

Add lemon juice to any parts of your hair that you want to lighten, and then step into the sun! But remember not to soak your hair, use a spray bottle so you don’t over burn your strands. It will naturally lighten your hair for sun-kissed highlights.

Wearing your ponytail in the same place every time can a weak point in the hair shaft where the hair tie is located. Use a Non-Damaging PRO Hair Tie to avoid the normal pressure caused by normal ponytails, but still get a secure hold and also try wearing your hair tie in different places each day!

39. Wear a Sleek Up-Do on An Oily Hair Day

Like we said it’s not good to wash your hair everyday, so our natural hair oil has a chance to balance itself out. Since it could get oily up there, rock a stylish sleek up-do on those oilier days.

Luckily tomato juice or even ketchup does the trick to get the blonde back to the yellow tone we had before! Just apply to your hair, leave on like a mask and rinse out! You’ll thank us later.

44. Heat-less Curls with (Clean) Socks

Want to avoid heat damage from curling irons? Take a break from putting heat to your strands and instead twist damp hair around a sock. Once it's dry, let them lose and brush it out. This method creates the beach waves you want, without frying your hair.

45. Use a paper towel, or Cotton T-shirt to Dry Hair and Avoid the Frizz

We all traditionally dry our hair with a towel, but the towel material can cause some serious friction that isn’t good for our strands. Try something different, like drying your hair with a cotton T-shirt or softly pat it dry with a paper towel. Since it's more gentle it will decrease breakage and even tone down the frizz in your hair!

46. Clean your Hair Tools

Straighteners, hair curlers, and even your hair brush can build up dirt that gets transferred to your strands. We want to keep our hair follicles and strands clean to promote hair growth and strength. So make sure that you keep all your hair tools clean.

47. Don’t use your Hair Tools on Highest Heat Setting

Hair tools these days can get to extreme heat, which can be fine on certain parts of our hair, but it can also fry our strands which we want to avoid! If you can get the same hair style at a lower heat it’s preferred.

48. Use Infrared Hair Tools to Protect Your Hair

Infrared technology uses a gentler heat that uses negative ions to lock in moisturize and causes less damage, along with healthier, shinier hair. So if you can trade in your old tools for one that uses infrared technology.

49. Use a Honey + Banana Mask to Make Hair Extra Soft

Both banana and honey help nourish the scalp and prevent breakage and split ends, while making hair strong and shiny. Honey adds moisture and shine, while bananas potassium prevents and controls dandruff. So mix them up and add them as a hair mask to add some nourishment into your hair naturally.

50. Use Henna as Alternative Hair Dye

If you are looking to dye your hair darker, try an alternative like Henna instead of hair color. Henna is safe to use on hair and instead of causing damage it actually has natural properties that heals, conditions and rejuvenates your hair!
