- Use a shampoo & conditioner that suits your hair type.
Choose products that are gentle, preferably without any harsh
detergent like the sulfates. For daily washes, use a shampoo that
is mild, gentle & moisturising.
- Using too much conditioner makes hair greasy. For oily hair,
apply a light conditioner at the ends of the hair.
- Ingredients such as coconut oil moisturizes dry hair, makes
hair softer & soothes the scalp; tea conditions & softens
hair; jojoba moisturizes permed or chemically treated hair &
makes hair manageable; silicone makes hair silky; lemon gives
hair a natural shine & conditions; honey conditions deeply;
henna leaves are natural hair dyes; apple cider vinegar &
rosemary oil encourage hair growth & control dandruff.
- Eggs contain lecithin which helps to moisturize dry hair. Before
shampooing, beat an egg & apply it onto dry hair & cover
with a plastic bag for about 15 minutes (body heat intensifies
conditioning) then rinse off totally with cold water.
- Olive oil is a good conditioner too. Massage onto hair &
leave it for 10 minutes before shampoo.
- Massaging your scalp with your fingertips helps the blood to
circulate to the scalp.
- On average hair grows about 1.2 to 1.25 cm a month.
- Hair is most fragile when wet.
- To make hair soft & shiny after washing, blot hair gently
with towel & then separate with a wide-toothed comb.
- Blow-drying damages hair, causing dryness & split-ends
due to the close contact between the heat on the scalp & hair.
The next time you blow dry your hair, face the dryer downwards,
use a leave-on conditioner for protection & avoid long exposure
of both scalp & hair to the strong heat.
- To avoid hair damage (e.g. green hair) while swimming in chlorinated
water, wear a swimming cap or deep condition your hair before
entering the pool. Also, wash & condition hair as soon as
you have finished swimming.
- Wear a hat when staying outdoors for a long period & condition
more often.
- The best hair brush to use is one with bristles made of animal
hairs.
- Refrain from giving stress to hair with constant perms, dye,
highlighting, blow-drying, curlers or the use of strong hair styling
products.
- Hair turns grey when melanocytes (cells found in the hair bulb)
cease to produce color pigments.
- Split ends are preventable but not repairable. Cutting them
off is the only solution.
- Flaking does not always mean dandruff. It can be caused by
overusing conditioners, the build up of compounds from styling
products, not washing hair often enough or not rinsing thoroughly.
