Tips for Hair care

September 14, 2007

Prologue

Before stepping into the shower, comb your hair lightly with a wide-toothed comb

to untangle knots. This aligns the strands and prevents your getting out of the

shower with a lot of knots. Begin at the ends and slowly work your way up. Never

try to rip through tangles from top to bottom. You'll end up with a clump of

hair on your comb that could have been avoided if only you'd had some patience!

Water

The temperature of the water you use while washing your hair should ideally not

be warmer than room temperature. In fact, the best thing would be to use the

lowest temperature you can bear. Too cold for you? Well, hair is not sensitive,

so you could at least bend over and give the lower part of your hair a final

rinse with cold water.

Why cold water?

Because cold water helps the hair scales lie down flat, making them stronger. On

the other hand warm water opens the hair scales not only causing more frizz but

also making the hair shaft weaker and more vulnerable. In addition, the scalp

secretes certain oils that are good for the hair. These oils get dissolved in

warm water, causing further dryness. Cold water does not dissolve the natural

oils. So make the healthy-hair choice and go in for cold water! Brrrrrï¿½ï¿½

Shampooing your hairï¿½

Start washing your hair at the scalp, because that's where grease accumulates.

Gently massage the shampoo into your hair with your fingertips. It is a good

idea to dilute the shampoo in a little water in a mug and then massage it on

your scalp. This way the shampoo is even gentler on the hair.

- While applying shampoo to your locks, leave them hanging down instead of

piling them on top of your head as though you're posing for a shampoo

commercial. Piling up your hair only leads to more tangles. Let it hang

naturally so the lather works its way from the root to the ends.

- Try not to churn your hair too much. Work the shampoo gently so the strands

don't get untangled and result in unbearable knots. If you have long hair, apply

shampoo to your scalp, divide it into sections, and massage each section gently

with the shampoo from roots to ends.

Go gentle while rinsing

- The best way to wash out shampoo is to keep combing it with your wide toothed

comb while rinsing it out under the shower. This helps in the de-tangling

process and also helps the shampoo to rinse out better. While you rinse your

hair, do not rub it harshly. Hair is at its most fragile state when it's being

rinsed. The correct way is to just simply let water run down your hair.

- Remember, it's best to rinse hair under running water. Dunking it in a tub is

not so effective as residue may still remain. You have to make sure you've

rinsed out all the shampoo. Once you are fairly certain it's all gone, stay

under the flow of water for another half minute or so, to be doubly sure. Wrap

your hair in a soft,absorbent towel - and voila! You're done!
