Is shampooing
daily harmful for the hair?
Everyday washing shouldnt be a concern as long as you are
using a mild shampoo, which can suit your normal hair. Something
that nourishes while it cleanses. If your hair doesnt feel
unclean, just sweaty it is okay to simply rinse out the sweat
too if you choose to.
Also, after wash, keep your damp hair in
a turbaned towel for about 15 minutes. Finger comb it in a gentle
massage-like movements and only brush gently.
The right way of washing Hair
Oiling my hair everytime does not help it in any way. On the contrary,
you end up using more shampoo everytime, damaging the hairs
natural oil balance, making it dry. Once a fortnight oiling is
just fine.
To wash your hair, always wet it first before
applying shampoo. Then, lather it by massaging with your fingertips.
Rinse thoroughly until squeaky-clean. Pat dry and finger-comb
out the tangles or use a wide toothcomb.

fail to hold together are result of exposure to harsh elements,
chemicals or even excessive brushing.
The right kind of shampoo will minimise
hair damage. Meanwhile it is also important to replenish ceramides,
which are hairs natural cement, and is responsible for holding
the hair cells together. A ceramides enriched shampoo will help
repair hair fibre and reduce split ends.
To maintain Oily Hair
Oily hair always goes with any oily skin. The scalp has a tendency
to secrete excess oil, which makes it lank and greasy. It is therefore
important to keep the scalp will only activate the oil glands
causing further oiliness. So will combing more than required more
so ever, do not succumb to the temptations of a harsh shampoo,
which temporarily restores your hair but in the long run harms
it.

the best, which is gentle enough to be used often. Also essential
is to rinse at the shampoo thoroughly finishing with cold water.
For thin and limp Hair
Thin, limp, hair does not have a tendency to fall flat and dead.
What you need is a volume booster. For starters choose your shampoo
carefully. Ordinary shampoos dont do much for your kind
of hair. Look up a shampoo especially for limp hair
Secondly, dont comb your hair when
wet, Let it dry naturally and finger comb it. A hair dryer can
boost your hair for a while but on a regular basis can prove harmful
for your hair. Then, brush your brush straight from your scalp
and shake it free.
For Dry Brittle Hair
First check your shampoo! If you are using a harsh, unsuitable
shampoo, it will not only dry your hair, it will cause breakage
and dry scalp may turn flaky and cause a lot of other problems.
Use an especially mild shampoo made
for dry hair. One fortified with essential oils to replace the
last nourishment is ideal. A good conditioner also helps soften
dry hair. After wash keep your damp hair in a turbaned towel for
about 15 minutes. Finger comb it in a gentle massage-like movements-this-will
activate the oil glands in your scalp. Then brush it gently. Oil
massages followed by a steamy, hot towel on your head every 15
days will also help get rid of dryness.
