According to Carolyn Scott-Hamilton on The Healthy Voyager, maintaining a gorgeous hairstyle comes down to pairing healthy hair habits with the right tools and products you can use at home.
From her guides on great-looking hair and maintaining styles, the core pillars are:
- Use the right tools for your hair type and goals
- A good-quality hair dryer (ionic or tourmaline, diffuser if you need definition)
- Flat iron or curling wand (ceramic/tourmaline/titanium with adjustable temperature)
- Sharp scissors for dusting split ends if you trim at home
- Quality hairbrushes and wide-tooth combs for gentle detangling and even distribution of natural oils
- Protect hair while styling
- Use heat-protectant before blow-drying, straightening or curling
- Avoid the highest heat settings, especially on fine or damaged hair
- Do not brush aggressively on wet hair; use a wide-tooth comb and be gentle
- Build a simple at-home care routine
- Wash hair every few days rather than daily, using the best-quality, ideally more natural products you can afford
- Be mindful of water temperature (lukewarm instead of scalding hot to preserve natural oils)
- Oil the scalp and lengths regularly if your hair type tolerates it, to nourish, add shine and support growth
- Support hair from the inside
- Eat a balanced, mostly whole-food diet with good-quality protein, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats
- Consider multivitamins or hair-focused supplements if your diet is lacking or hair is brittle
- Know and work with your style
- Choose a cut and style that suits your face, lifestyle and texture
- Once you know the style name, learn to recreate it via tutorials instead of relying solely on salon visits
Together, these habits let you maintain a salon-worthy, gorgeous hairstyle while protecting long‑term hair health.
Is there a specific hair type or style you want this “definitive guide” tailored to (curly, fine, color-treated, protective styles, etc.)?
