Have Hair Care
By: Mary Williams
Having a hair cut can change your look
completely. It can be better or worse.
Sometimes you will feel better when having a
new cut or color. Here is the story of hair.
The mysteries of maintaining beautiful hair
should have been uncovered by now, but for
many women finding a simple way to keep
their hair looking wonderful is as elusive
as it was to women centuries before. The
desire for beautiful hair is not new.
Ancient Egyptians shaved their heads and
wore elaborate, heavy, braided wigs to
achieve perfection. European history also
abounds with torturous hair styles including
the ornate, powdered styles wrapped around
frames and horsehair which attracted vermin.
All in the name of beauty.
Today, fashion still influences a woman's
hairstyle but that doesn't mean you have to
subject your hair to needless damage. Take
advantage of the tips below on caring
properly for your hair.
Even though your hair is not a living part
of your body, itstill needs proper care for
optimum health and beauty. One of the key
elements to having shiny, healthy hair is to
allow the natural oils in the scalp to
lubricate it. The hair closest to the scalp
benefits from natural sebum oils the most
while longer hair can become dry and brittle
from a lack of these oils.
No matter what exotic ingredients it's made
up of , shampoo performs a simple job of
removing excess oils, pollution and styling
product build up from the hair. All of your
hair needs gentle cleansing but it is the
top two or three inches that is most weighed
down with natural oils and dulling hair
products. Concentrating the washing in that
area will reduce the amount of oils removed
from longer areas of hair which can be over
dried from the stripping of oils and
extended contact with shampoo.
Conditioning on the other hand should be
used sparingly, if at all, on the top inches
of the hair while concentrated on the ends.
Conditioning is an important step to replace
needed oils and provide protection from
styling agents such as blow dryers and
irons.
Your hair will look its most beautiful when
you choose a style that requires the least
amount of heat and product damage.
Protecting your hair with conditioners is
key, but choosing a style that suits the
texture of your hair will eliminate the need
for more torturous styling tools.
Frizzy and dry hair can benefit from the
application of silicone based products. Bear
in mind that a little goes a long way and
concentrate the product on the ends of your
hair.
When blow drying keep the blow dryer at
least six inches from your hair to prevent
excessive damage from the heat. Blow drying
in the direction of the shaft (down the
length of hair) will create a smoother
appearance.
Anytime you use chemicals in your hair you
should make sure your hair is in a healthy
condition before applying the treatment.
Overuse of these treatments can damage hair
beyond repair and affect the results of the
products.
Your hair will look shinier and feel thicker
when you remove dried and split ends.
Trimming the hair every 6 to 8 weeks will
keep it looking its best.
Taking simple steps to maintain healthy hair
will put you on track to more 'good hair
days' than you ever thought possible!
