While you can make use of chemical treatments to curb split ends and to maintain hair color, you must also focus your attention on daily handling of hair which is very important.

The following are advice from experts on how you can keep your locks to look their best. The tips can be used by people with all kinds of hair namely dull, damaged or frizzy hair. Using these tips you can control or resolve even the toughest hair problems easily.

First of all you must refrain from using plastic-bristle brushes. Combs having natural bristles or a flat brush is the most ideal for brushing hair regularly. You can make use of rubber-toothed, soft wide toothed brushes for combing damp hair. You must also brush your hair before you shampoo it. By gently brushing your hair and massaging your scalp you can get rid of flakes and build up which can also promote blood flow to hair follicles.

Focus on the water you use for washing your hair. Well water contains chemicals which can make it difficult to manage hair by making it dry and lusterless. On the other hand, soft water can be used as it has lesser damaging minerals. You can also use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of mineral buildup in your hair. If you wish to use hair color, concentrate on the hair ends first before starting the process. This is because hair ends are more porous and can absorb more pigment.  You must also trim your hair at intervals to avoid problems. Split ends can result as your hair becomes damaged due to rough handling or ageing. You can get trimming done regularly every 3-7 weeks.  Also read through the labels of shampoos, hair colors etc before using the same. Preferably go in for products having natural ingredients as they are free of side effects. By following a proper hair care routine you can have lustrous hair easily.
