Hair Care
Brush your hair regularly before going to bed each night.
Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Use very little but enough
to cover hair completely with lather. Use a conditioner to
keep hair manageable.
Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch
and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb
instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.
Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process of blow-drying is
harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.
Avoid dyes. Use mehandi (henna) instead as a conditioner and
colouring agent.
Take a calcium supplement or drink two glasses of milk a day.
Always hold hair dryer away from your hair. Direct air from
the hair dryer down hair shaft and not directly into the roots
and keep it moving.
After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead comb hair gently.
Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid split ends.
Avoid pulling back your hair tightly.
Never use a rubber band on your hair as it can pull and damage
hair considerably.
Never go out in the sun without having your head covered.
Stimulate circulation by massaging your head with oil to which
some vitamin E has been added. This will make hair soft and
silky.
Never wash your hair with very hot or very cold water.
Learn to relax. Hair loss can happen because of stress. Eat
foods that are rich in vitamin B, C and E.
Add iron and minerals in the natural form in your diet.
If your hair is oily, cut down on fried food and fat. Drink
plenty of water.
