Hair is a reflection of your health
& personality. If taken care of they can add to your beauty. Your hair and
scalp needs proper care now and always. A sign of neglect over a period of time
will show up in form of dry brittle hair, split-ends, hair fall,
dandruff etc. From the moment you wake up to the time you go to sleep and if
you are sleeping, there are many factors that can lead to hair breakage.
The following are some helpful ways
that can help you:
Hair Wash: Wash your hair regularly.
Follow your usual routine in applying shampoo onto hair. Some people use
shampoo once everyday, other do it every other day and some do once a week.
Using very hot or cold water can damage your hair.
Brushing your hair: Combing has to
be done from the top to bottom. Start combing at the end of your hair. Go
through some inches until all knots are combed out, and then restart some
inches higher. You have to use a good hair brush. Don't buy those cheap plastic
stuff. The problem is not that it might rip your hair, but it has an effect
like glue which is sticky.
Hair Drying: Try to dry your hair in
a natural way. Dry it up using a bath towel or you can make use an electric fan
if you are in a hurry to make your hair dry. Frequent use of those hair
dryer products can also damage your hair. Hair styles can also help
avoid heavy hair fall.
Atmosphere: One major thing that can
also affect your hair is the atmosphere. Like when you go to the beach, the
heat of the sun and salt water can make your hair dry. Another factor is
when you go swimming in a pool. The chlorinated water can damage your
hair. You can cover your hair with a cloth or use swimming cap to cover your
hair from sunlight.
Applying shampoo and conditioner:
Use mild shampoos. Do not use those ones that has strong ingredients and swear
to make your hair healthy and shiny. The stronger the ingredients are,
the higher risk you have in damaging your hair. Also with conditioner, avoid
using it regularly because it can also make your hair frizzy and more hair
fall you will have.
Hair Style: We always want to have a
different hair styles. The type of hair styles we have reflects our
individuality and sometime it reflects our mood. Avoid frequent use of those
styling products like hair straightening and curling iron because it will damage
your hair.
Sleeping Pattern: Comb your hair
before going to bed, do not let the bands or clips on. Even the way you sleep
can affect your hair. Restless sleepers may actually be breaking hair as they
sleep. If you're a restless sleeper, try a satin pillowcase so that the hair
glides when you move in your sleep. On a regular cotton pillowcases, hair can
get caught and break. Hair should be put in a ponytail on top of the head. Always
use rubber bands that are wrapped in cloth.
We should always take care of our
hair. It is one of the major part of our body that helps enhance our physical
appearance. You must have a good diet because that helps a lot to make our hair
healthy. Our hair is the reflection of our personality and health. We have to
take good care of our body to achieve the kind of hair that we want.
