The Secret To Rejuvenate Your Hair
Hair care or hair hygiene differs according to hair type. As hair is referred to as the crowning glory of a human being then there is a need to maintain its glory and beauty. Proper caring for your locks shows good grooming and results to a healthy looking hair and scalp. How you take care of yourself also manifests at how you take care of your hair. So many times we often hear someone complain they have a ‘bad hair day’. This is because their hair regimen is improper. Hair that is prone to breakage and dull dry hair is hard to manage, and also hard to style. So read on for very important tips to help you maintain shine and bounce on that mane.
1] Harsh hair styling products or tools such as at-home perm, hair coloring, or a hair straightener have the tendency to damage the hair or contribute to hair loss. There is no substitute for good looks so if you don’t know how to do this yourself properly have your hair done by a professional hairdresser.
2] Don’t leave blow-dryer in one area of your hair for longer than 3 seconds, keep it moving at a good distance from your hair.
3] Friends are good sources of information. Ask them for tips and their experiences about certain hair care products they might have used or is still using.
4] Use volumizing shampoo for added body if you have thin hair. Thick hair will benefit from a healthy shine shampoo to bring out its beauty.
5] Before you take a bath, comb the tangles out of your hair so the tangles would not worsen and become hard to comb out or untangle.
6] If you must comb your wet hair, use a wide toothed comb and do it gently because wet hair is prone to damage and breakage.
7] Thoroughly towel-dry your hair without rubbing briskly before you use a hair dryer. Your hair will appreciate this because too much heat damages the hair shafts.
8] Read your shampoo’s ingredient, if it has laurel sulfate or sodium laurel sulfate avoid these kinds of shampoos. The two chemicals are synthetic detergents that are used even in dishwashing. Their role in the shampoo itself is that they produce the lather that we are accustomed to. Curly or straight hair, oily or not, this is a synthetic chemical it doesn’t need.
9] Have a properly balanced meal and take vitamins and mineral dietary supplements that promote healthy hair and scalp. Examples of those vitamins are: vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin B.
10] Bend and brush your scalp and hair gently from the back starting at the base near the nape and work your way to the front. Do this until you feel a tingling sensation on your scalp after that follow it up with a massage to the scalp with your finger tips. Doing these redistributes around the head and hair the natural oils which is the result of brushing and massage.
