Healty Hair Tips And Remedies

Ensure that the hair that is forming beneath the surface of your scalp is healthy by avoiding too much of sweets, chocolates, cakes & cookies. Replace them with fresh fruits & vegetables

Brushing wet hair too harshly causes strands to break as they are weaker and more likely to break off. Detangle gently using a wide toothed comb after towel drying your hair.

Don't scrub hard when washing hair. Simply run your hands over your hair in the direction that the cuticle has grown i.e. from the root to the tip.

Healthy hair is the most beautiful. Apart from using the right shampoo & conditioner, indulge your hair once a while with a hair massage. A hair massage with some warm oil to which some Vitamin E has been added stimulates circulation, relaxes you and your hair!

Excessive hair loss, or brittle hair is a sign that the products you are using may not be for your hair type. Find the right product that suits your hair and protects it
from damage & breakage.

Itchy scalps are usually caused if your hair is dirty, greasy or has a build up of styling product. Make sure your hair is clean and healthy

MYTHS:-

All of us have a favorite hair care remedy we religiously follow and advocate to friends even. But are they really beneficial or just a myth? Here are some of the popular hair myths; some of them you may already know.

MYTH: Frequent trims make hair grow faster and stronger.
FACT: Hair grows almost exactly half an inch per month, no matter what you do or take. While hormonal changes may affect hair growth, the only thing a trim will do is help eliminate split ends and make your hair look better.

MYTH: If you pluck out one gray hair, two or three will sprout back.
FACT: We all have heard of this one; while this isn't true, plucking out those gray strands is a bad habit. You can damage the roots, causing infection or leave a scar.

MYTH: Brushing your hair often is good for it.
FACT: Too much brushing is bad for your hair, leading to split ends and hair breakage. By all means groom your hair, but once it is in place, STOP!

MYTH: Dandruff is contagious.
FACT: No. We all carry the micro organism that causes dandruff, it just isn't as active. On the other hand, be careful when using someone else's comb or brush, there are other things that you don't want on your hair.

Of course there are many more hair raising myths out there and it's best you get them confirmed by an experienced hairdresser or a trichologist. After all, it's your hair, treat them nice.
