As much as that perfect outfit and new pair of shoes can make you feel good, it doesn’t compare to how great perfect hair can make you feel. When you are confident in your hair, you can feel ready to take on whatever the world can throw at you.

This self-confidence affects a lot in your life, from how you handle stress to doing well at a presentation in the office. Being sure of yourself matters, and new research has found a real link between your confidence in yourself and how you feel about your hair.

Is confidence really all in your head?

Manicures, pedicures, a new outfit, and matching accessories can all create a look of confidence, but lasting confidence can also come from healthy hair. Your hair speaks volumes about you and most women agree that a lot of effort goes into hair care because of the bold statement it can make.

Studies have found that women express more confidence when they feel their hair is looking its best. This is what makes hair care products, reading hair care blogs, and choosing a salon so important.

The way your hair looks makes a statement; it’s why centuries ago, the more elaborate your wig, the more attention you got. A bad hair day or hair loss can truly bring you down, but beautiful locks can make you feel like a star.

Because beauty is also dependent on confidence, the health of your hair is a major player. No matter how much you spend on clothes, shoes, and accessories, it's important to prioritize your hair. 

Healthier hair, a more confident you

Getting older comes with the concern that your hair will thin and possibly fall out, though this is not always the case, the aging process is always unavoidable, but that shouldn't stop you from protecting your hair and your confidence. The last thing you want is to miss out on an opportunity or struggle with productivity because your confidence is shot.

Defy the aging process with these tips:

Smart shampoo. Be selective when it comes to your shampoo and buy products that do not contain sulfates. Sulfates will strip your hair of its natural oils (sebum), which only speeds up your hair's aging. 

Hair La Vie’s Shampoo is formulated with 19 naturally-derived ingredients, including essential proteins, antioxidants & vitamins, and zero harmful sulfates. The nutrients in our shampoo penetrate your hair at the follicle to nourish damaged strands without added weight or buildup.

Change how you control frizz. Frizz and dryness can happen to anyone and is enough to make you frown. It is a common mistake to grab heavy waxes and serums to hold hair, down but this suffocates your hair, which only makes things worse. Lighter shine sprays and leave-ins like Hair La Vie’s Nº 77 are perfect for controlling frizz without weighing your hair down.

Limit your heat-styling. Too much blow-drying and heat styling damages your hair, leading to more risk of split ends and broken hair strands. Use quick-dry sprays instead or let it dry naturally. 

There are hundreds of cool hairstyles out there you can try that do not involve heat, so put the heating tools away. With a new look, you will feel brand new. You can even try the no-heat hair challenge to get yourself started.

Layer it up. Adding layers to your hair is a great way to get volume while restoring bounce and flow to your hair. Rather than using product after product to get the boost in volume, have your stylist throw in some layers and restore the boost naturally. Your confidence will get the boost too, without you having to lift a finger.
