Hair oil is not good for you,but conditioning is.Follow these tips for healthy shining hair:
- Hair should show lustre and must be conditioned.Long hair should be worn neatly, medium hair must be blow dried and short hair should be styled according to the face structure.
- Color should always be in contrast to enhance features, for example, low light effects for light colored hair and highlights for dark hair.
- Conditioning is as important as shampooing.It seeps through you hair, repairs it and provides nourishment.
- Stay away from variants of oil.Water and oil don’t mix; hence one has to use excess shampoo to remove it, drying the hair excessively.In fact, oil makes the hair heavy and attracts dust particles.
Shampoos:
The right kind of shampoo depends on the hair type of the person.
- Oily hair must be washed every day with a shampoo that has a clarifying agent.
- Colored hair must be washed with a shampoo that has super-hydrating minerals, which restore lost nutrients.
- Chemically treated hair should be washed every other day with a shampoo that does not have a Ph balance of over 7.5.Fruity fragrances attract dirt and bugs.
- For frizzy hair, leave-in conditioners are a must along with a shine sealer serum.
Combing:
Avoid combs and use a brush.It is very important to brush your hair before retiring to bed, for five to 10 minutes.This will not only massage the scalp but also stimu;ate blood circulation and enhance hair growth.
Hot Tools:
People who use irons or dryers at home should be very careful.More heat means more damage and heating irons should not go over the temperature of 200-300 degree Celsius.Use dryers with high heat and low air blow.The maximum voltage should be 1400 to 1600 volts.
