General Hair Care Tips
Let us have a glimpse at the general hair
care tips you should follow besides these home remedies.
Food and Hair
Eat all the protein rich and nutritious food
you can.
Vegetarians can get all the protein from
pulses or supplements.
Ensure that you drink a lot of water at
regular intervals to keep your system clean, thus helping boost hair growth.
Sun Care
Make sure you wear a hat or scarf on your
head in strong sun, thus helping it protect from harsh sun rays, while keeping
you hydrated.
Right kind of Water to rinse the
hair
It also is very important to wash your hair
with slightly warm water over hot water. Boiling hot water tends to snatch away
possible nourishing natural skin oils, leaving the skin high and dry.
Use of Electrical Appliances for
styling
It also is important that you avoid the use
of hair dryers, straighters and curlers, as they leave the hair dry, dull or
even lifeless. Sometimes over using of these electrical appliances for styling
burns the hair, which further remains difficult to repair.
Combs and Brushes
It is very important to know what kind of
combs and brushes are used to manage the hair. High quality combs and brushes
are suggestible over low quality products as they help you massage and relax
your scalp.
Combs would be more suggestible than brushes.
However, paddle brushes available in the market are better than the other
brushes.
Ensure that the combs and brushes you use are
clean and neat.
Avoid sharing combs and brushes as it
increases the chances of transfer of dandruff and other skin infections.
Avoid over use of chemicals
It is better to avoid over use of chemical
shampoos and conditioners as they also are possible ingredients that leave the
hair dull and dry. Ingredients such as parabens are said to be dangerous.
The chemicals apart from doing no good to
your hair do no good to the environment. So it’s better to use products that
are naturally obtained or herbal in nature.We also could do a little more to
you and environment by using products that are free of animal testing.
