Your hair is your crowning glory. Look after it and it will shine for
all the world to see. You don't always need expensive treatments or
visits toa hair salon to manage your hairprofessionally. There's so
much you can do yourself.
1. For shiny, healthy hair, think first of your body's intake. Your
hair is really just a reflection of what you are inside. A good
balanced, nutritious and healthy diet will do more to make your hair
shine than any shampoo or conditioner. Also drink eight to ten glasses
of water a day; hair is 25% water, so don't let yours go thirsty!
2. Dry your hair after washing inthe ambient temperature of your room.
Use an absorbent towel to soak up the excess moisture, but don't rub
hard. If possible, don't use blow-dryers, flat irons, curling irons or
hot rollers. Artificial heat will leave your hair brittle and damaged
intime. Be natural whenever you can. If you can't, use heat
protectants to offset some of the damage.
3. Prevent unnecessary hair damage by using the right kind of
hairbrush. Only comb wet hair with a wide-tooth comb, combing from end
to root, but avoiding touching the root. Detangling wet hair with a
hard steel comb can create a lot of damage, so don't!
4. Remove split ends like this: take small sections of your hair and
carefully twist them in a gentle downward motion. The split ends will
stick out. Using sharp scissors, carefully cut into the twisted
section, but not right through, to remove the damaged cuticles and
leave a natural layered look. Cut roughly the same amount from each
twist to balance the effect.
5. Hair loss can be slowed, or even reversed by applying a fewsimple
tips, though they probably won't cure an underlying condition. Biotin
can help to regenerate hair follicles: blend bananas with honey,
yoghurt and low-fat milk, and drink it daily. Supplements such as
Vitamin B6, zinc and saw palmetto will help too, but eliminating
stress and getting plenty of sleep may work just as well.
We are all obsessed with our hair, whether we are 9 or 90, male or
female. Look after yourself first and foremost, and your hair will
reflect that care and attention..
