Simple steps for keeping your hair healthy :
* Here are some pointers that will ensure your hair stay soft and lustrous.
* Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight.* Hairbrush should be of natural bristles, as synthetic materials will generate static electricity which will cause your hair to become more brittle.
* If need, wash your hair once every 2 days. This will allow time for the natural oil to nourish your hair.
* If possible, use baby shampoo which is milder and kinder on your hair
* When washing hair, use warm water. Hot water will strip the natural protective oil from your hair.
* Make sure you thoroughly rinse your hair clean, as leftover shampoo will leave a residue which will dry out the strands.
* Avoid excessive use of hair dyes.
* When swimming, make sure you cover your hair with a swimming cap. Both chlorine and sea water are bad for your hair.
* When in heated room, use humidifier to prevent dry hair.
* On windy days, wear a hat or scarf.
* Trim your hair every 6 weeks to eliminate dry and split ends.
* When using hair dryer, avoid high heat. Heat from hair straightener and curling tongs can do damage to your hair. Don’t use them too often.
