A shiny, clean, and lively hair – who doesn’t want it? It is a sign of an optimum beauty and an evidence of youthful glow.
But what if you have dull, grimy and limp hair? Here are six basic tips for transforming it to an enviably age-defying one!
1. Shampoo only the scalp to remove dirt, dandruff, pollutants and other impure particles that slowly but surely accumulate in your hair. Use your shampoo only unto select areas to prevent it from stripping out so much as to make hair unmanageable.
Your hair is dirtiest and oiliest at the scalp. Shampoo just the scalp and the sudsy overflow will be sufficient to cleanse the rest of you hair. Keep in mind, too much shampoo eliminates natural oil that protects the hair structure from damage.
2. Know what products to use. Many commercial shampoos, conditioners and other hair products can damage your hair in the long run making it look dull and weary. Choosing the right product does not only make the hair look health and beautiful but also saves hair from destruction.
- For very dry hair, use mild shampoo and good quality conditioner that contain humectants which holds moisture in the hair.
- For greasy hair, a good nourishing shampoo should be used, while avoiding too much brushing as this excites oil glands which are already over-active.
- For sensitive scalp, use organic or botanical shampoos because they have less harsh chemicals, thus, gentler to your hair.
- For brittle hair, a conditioner with reconstructor should be used – get those that contain hydrolyzed protein that penetrates the hair and strengthens its structure.
- For people usually exposed to sun or blow-dryers and hair curlers, a shampoo and conditioner with thermal protectors should be used.
3. Put conditioner only at the ends. This prevents the hair to sit limp at the roots which actually makes your hair look older.
4. Proper blow-drying. Always point the nozzle of a blow-dryer downward to help close the cuticle, improving the sheen of your hair. For the last 3 minutes of blow-drying, switch the equipment to a cool setting to fight dry and frizz hair, and flyaways.
5. Add layers because they give hair fullness and bounce and that, in turn, makes hair look softer and shinier.
6. Make it shine.For a shinier hair, use a little amount of ale to the rinsing water.
