BASIC CARE TIPS FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR

In today’s society, it is quite common for women to have their hair fixed up like: rebonding, relaxing or colouring. These treatments actually use strong chemicals to get hair the way you like it. It doesn’t stop there, after treatments like serums, conditioners and other similar products are used to keep the hair smooth and silky soft. These again is a barrage of chemicals that the scalp and hair have to endure on a daily basis, and this can put a toll to the hair making weak and brittle. Worse case scenario, this could eventually cause hair loss.

But not to worry, you won’t need a hair loss treatment because there are a lot of things you can do to take care of your hair and scalp, below are a few basic tips:

Don’t use heat. Blow driers, straightening and curling irons can dehydrate the hair. Heating literally vaporizes the moisture out of the hair cortex and if done daily, hair can get really dry and brittle making it easy to break.

Gently comb hair. When we comb our hair we sometimes get our hair tangled and what we commonly but wrongly do is force the comb or brush to detangle the hair. This again can damage the hair strands, some strands can actually be plucked out off the roots. What to do is simply comb your hair gently. There are also special detangling combs/brush that does a good job in detangling hair.

It’s also good to regularly clean combs and brushes. Our hair is like a sponge when it comes to dust and when we comb our hair some of these dust particles accumulate between the teeth of the comb. Regular cleaning can also prevent the spread of communicable diseases like dandruff.

Eating a well-balance diet and regularly taking vitamin supplements is not only good for your health; it’s great for your hair as well. The cells responsible for hair production are one of the fastest growing cells in the body. These cells need a regular supply of nutrients especially protein and vitamins to produce strong, thick and healthy hair.
