The 10-Second Test That Will Tell You How Healthy Your Hair Is

Do you know how healthy your hair is? Try this simple test to find out if your locks are in good shape or if they need a little extra care.

Here is the 10-second test which will help you find out if your hair is healthy:

Just pluck a clean strand and put in an 8 ounce glass of water. If your strand floats, then your hair is in a good shape. If it sinks, that’s a sign that your hair needs extra care. The reason strands drop is because water is able to push through the cuticle, leading to frizz and quickly fading color (color molecules escape more quickly from porous strands).

It is important to use a weekly hydrating mask with amino and fatty lipids, which will strengthen your hair’s outer layers, keeping your strands smooth and your shade on lockdown.
