Prevention is the best cure

True to the old adage that prevention is the best cure, there are things that you can do to prevent the recurrence of bad hair days.

More than often, the cause of a bad hair day comes from keeping a hairstyle for too long. The easy way out of this is to opt for long-lasting hairstyles or a manageable haircut and this includes considering a cost-effective style, which does not require regular maintenance. However, in the case of a haircut it is best to go for maintenance at least every 6 to 8 weeks.

Condition your hair regularly to keep it healthy. Another cause of a bad hair day could be not giving due attention to your hair and ending up with dry or dull looking hair. Conditioning your hair restores moisture to it giving it the bright and healthy appearance we all want.

Protect your hair when going to bed, because ‘bed-head’ is yet another cause of bad hair days. Cover your hair appropriately to maintain your hairstyle and working in a leave-in conditioner every often when you wake up helps your hair to ‘spring back to life.’
