Some Suggestions For Taking Care Of Your Hair
One of the first
practices to be adopted for individuals who
wish to take care of their hair is the use of gentle hair products which
may include mild or baby shampoos. The use of
such simple and gentle products has an equally
gentle effect, and it certainly goes a long
way in preventing dryness of both the hair quality
and the scalp regions.
The second practices to be adopted
is the use of soft combs and brushes and use
them carefully and gently. Here too, the use
of soft brushes such as baby's brush allows
the scalp and the hair to both remain soft and
tender. The use of wide-toothed combs is recommended
as compared to the thinly toothed, as it minimizes
the loss of hair that is otherwise broken due
to the use of hard and thin comb.
An important aspect for protecting
the hair is the continuous use of hairnet, soft
cap or turban while asleep. This particularly
helps in protecting any weak hair from breaking
or falling off as the head is constantly brushed
against the pillow.
It is common for women as well
as men to use hair-dryers (particularly when
one is getting late for work every morning),
and heaters to dry the wet hair. Various studies
have proved that the excessive hair dryers and
heaters for the hair not only weaken the hair,
these practices also make the hair weaker in
the long run.
As a result the weaker have the
tendency to fall of or break at a pace faster
than normal hair. Hence, it is suggested that
the use of hair-dryers and heaters be minimized,
if not eliminated altogether.
In similar context, it has also
been observed that women as well as men make
excessive use of hair rollers, and plaiting
them to give the hair a curly look. Both the
practice of plaiting as well as use of rollers
significantly weaken
the hair, and creates tendencies to break.
Health, though taking the last
suggestion is not the least of important. As
a correct and balanced diet can greatly help
in strong and healthy hair growth, as well as
prevent baldness. So are the factors of stress
and use of alcohol, both of which too are found
to have a detrimental affect on the healthy
growth of hair, hence they must be minimized,
if not totally eliminated. |
