GOOD HAIR HYGIENE FOR HEALTHY HAIR GROWTH
Posted by Manny Y on 8th Apr 2015
When it comes to hair styles, you can do whatever you want whether it’s long, short, wavy, curly or straight. But if you want to have healthy hair growth, then you should give prime importance to hygiene.
Every hair follicle has a special gland called the sebaceous gland. This gland produces a special oil called sebum, which is a very good and natural hair and skin conditioner. But too much sebum can make the hair really greasy. This can also attract a lot of dirt and dust floating around the hair. When sebum dries especially when mixed with dust, this can obstruct hair growth. This dust and oil mixture is also a good medium for fungal and bacterial growth. So it is imperative to keep the hair and scalp clean for optimum hair growth.
Wash Hair Regularly
It is best to shampoo your hair daily, this will control sebum production and also wash off dirt and dust. If your focused on growing hair really fast, you can substitute your regular shampoo with FAST, a clarifying shampoo that deep cleans your hair and scalp. FAST or Fortified Amino Scalp Therapy is a deep cleansing shampoo that is specifically made to stimulate hair to grow faster.
Don’t Forget To Condition
Some individuals experience dry hair when washing daily. A solution to this is to condition every time you shampoo. There are different kinds of conditioners but it is good to buy the best conditioner you can afford. FAST also have a conditioner that goes well with the shampoo, the two products are more effective if used together, than using a different product.
Massage the Scalp
When washing, it is best to massage the shampoo into the hair and scalp, instead of rubbing it in. Massaging will thoroughly wash off excess sebum and dust, and it will also increase blood circulation to the scalp. Increased blood circulation means more oxygen and nutrients going through the scalp and hair; therefore, increases hair growth.
