Have a good hair day, every day with these essential tips.
Let’s face it. We all want enviable glossy tresses. We all want to look like we’ve wafted out of a Herbal Essences advert. But more often than not, our hair ends up taking the back seat.
With so many other things going on in our busy lives, it is difficult to give your locks the time and attention they really need. From over washing to brushing hair the wrong way to skipping the monthly trim yet again, our hair suffers from a multitude of sins. But despite all this, we can easily break the mould and pave the way to fabulous, gorgeous hair with these simple steps. And what’s more it doesn’t have to be difficult, or particulary time consuming. Implement these good habits bit by bit, and soon enough you will have the beautiful tresses you’ve always dreamed about…so listen up.
Our first tip is to rinse with distilled water. This is especially useful for coloured hair as tap water leaves mineral deposits that can dull and damage it. Even if you can’t manage to do this every time you wash your hair, at least aim for twice a week – by the way you shouldn’t be washing more than three times anyway.
So yes, every day CAN be a good hair day, if you simply kick your bad habits and replace them with the good. Flick through our gallery to see how it’s done.

Change Your Comb
Wet hair is prone to breakage so whatever you do, don't brush it. Comb it. Choose wooden or saw-cut as plastic combs have moulded seams that catch hairs and may damage the cuticles. Try the Welda wooden comb, £3.45. Also, when you are brusing your hair, be sure to brush it from the bottom up.

Give Your Hair A Regular Styling Break
Despite what you may think, going au naturel does not look too bad. So avoid going all out every day and lighten up on the styling, which is appropriate for parties but not so essential every day. And when you must get the straighteners out always use a low heat setting.

Invest In A Good Shampoo
Sadly cheap shampoos don't always do the job. If you can, you should get something that is good quality. If you have fine, thin hair, try Aveda Shampure, £10.50 - a cult calming cleanser that suits all types.

Exercise More
Circulation is also important for healthy hair, so exercise regularly and drink plenty of water, but remember that sweat can aggravate a scalp condition, so do wash your hair after every exercise session.
