Great hair is an asset many people would give anything to have, so when it comes to hair transformation, we know you’re leaning in. Your hair is an aspect of beauty that tends to be a little more permanent. Sure, you might cut, color and style your hair, but the one thing that remains consistent is that it’s always there – in some form or another. 

When it comes to hair care and hair transformation, however, you might actually be doing more damage when you try new things rather than improving the health of your hair. Thankfully, there are many ways that you can make sure your hair is as healthy as possible without having to cut off too much length or sacrifice the color you want to stick with. 

With that in mind, check out the below hair care and hair transformation solutions that might just help you turn your messy mane into a beautiful head of luxurious hair.

1. Remember That What You Eat and Drink Can Lead to Hair Transformation

Whatever you’re choosing to consume and put into your body can and will greatly affect how the outside of your body looks, including your hair. Your body craves vitamins, nutrients and minerals. If your body is not getting what it needs from your diet, it will show in your hair, your skin, and even your nails. A poor diet lacking in essential nutrients could manifest as dry, brittle, unhealthy hair. 

So, if you’ve been wondering why your hair has been lacking a little luster lately, it might be because your diet needs an upgrade. And while your poor diet might not be causing your weight to fluctuate, it might be showing through the condition of your hair and skin. 

If hair transformation and more beautiful hair is your goal, try eating more foods that contain keratin-producing vitamin C, such as strawberries and tangerines. 

Most people know how important biotin is for hair health. Foods like avocados are rich in biotin, which makes them one of the best foods to eat for hair transformation. So, don’t be afraid to order that avocado roll when you go out for sushi. Sweet potatoes are also a great source of biotin and vitamin A, which helps you get more beautiful, healthier hair. 

Oatmeal contains silicon, which promotes faster hair growth and that’s why a healthy breakfast of overnight oats (with some healthy fats in the form of chia seeds) is a great option.

Don’t forget to make sure you drink plenty of water each day for healthier hair, skin, and overall health. Once your diet gets a nutrient boost, it won’t take long to notice the difference either, and you’ll notice that your dull flat hair will soon be much shinier and full of volume.

2. Choose a Hairstyle That Works for Your Hair Type and Face Shape

There are so many different hair types, and what works for your colleague at work simply might not work for you. Your first step should be to find out what type of hair you have so that you can spend a little time researching hairstyles that work for your kind of hair. For example, if you have hair type 4A, 4B, or 4C, you might experiment with bantu knot hairstyles because your hair is thicker and denser than someone that has pin straight and fine hair.

Once you can find a hairstyle that works for your kind of hair, you can help give your current cut longevity because you’re not going to be inadvertently damaging your hair by over-styling it.

Your hairstylist can help you decide on a haircut and style that suits your face shape to ensure your hair transformation is a success.

3. Try to Choose Non-Harmful Styling Methods

Curling tongs, straighteners and hair dryers are an amazing way of manipulating your hair into a style that you love. However, hot tools do cause damage. This can dry your hair out, create split ends, or even burn off altogether. That’s why it’s a good idea to find methods of styling that aren’t going to damage your hair.

For example, a trend that’s taking the world by storm at the moment are the viral heatless curls. You essentially wrap your hair around a comfortable-to-sleep-in rod and fasten your hair out of the way for the night. Then, in the morning (if it’s done right) you’ll have bouncy heatless curls that simply need a quick spritz of hairspray to keep them in place. So instead of frying your hair, why not look for some heatless alternatives when it comes to styling your hair?

You can still use hot tools such as your curling iron and hair dryer sometimes, but try to also let your hair air dry or use heatless curling methods sometimes too, to give your hair a break. When it comes to a hair transformation, you might notice a big difference in your hair health once you start cutting down on your use of hot tools.

4. Get Your Hair Trimmed Little and Often

While your hairdresser may recommend coming back regularly might be a way for them getting you back in their chair so they can make their money, having your hair trimmed little and often is actually good for your hair, too! It will help make sure that split ends don’t overrule your whole head as well as promote healthy hair growth. Plus, who doesn’t like the feeling of freshly cut hair? If it’s a small trim that you go get regularly, you might even be able to negotiate the price with your hairdresser to keep your hair beautiful on a budget, especially if you’re going to be coming in frequently.

5. Find Hair Products that Help Hydrate and Nourish Your Hair

Finally, it’s not just what you eat and how you treat your hair that may affect it. Something as simple as the weather could take away its shine or dry it out. Take the time to find products that are suitable for your hair type that will help to hydrate and nourish your hair. They don’t have to be expensive, and you probably won’t have to use much each day, but it could make a world of difference to how your hair looks and feels! For example, the Olaplex hair masks are great for revitalizing your hair health. You just leave the hair mask on for 5 minutes and you’ll notice a hair transformation that you can both see and feel.

Remember, gorgeous hair is a valuable asset. Any investment into your hair in terms of the price of quality hair products or a great hairdresser is worth it to protect that asset.
