HAIR CARE

The hair is often described as one's crowning glory. Ask anyone and they are sure to agree . . . if your hair appearance is sensible, you automatically feel good! Some appearance experts go so far as to say that the hair is the single most important factor in looking neat and well put-together. Hard-to-handle hair is the number one beauty complaint of women!

• Healthy hair is reflective of healthy lifestyle habits and overall good health. Eat a well-balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get sufficient rest/sleep. Medications and health conditions will and do influence hair condition.

• Hair changes as the body changes. Hair growth, hair loss, and replacement are natural, normal processes throughout the life cycle. As the body ages, growth and replacement are slowed, which
may give individuals the impression they are balding. Balding is a hereditary condition but can also
be joined to general body health (recent surgery, diet, medications, chemotherapy, hormones, stress).

• Keep hair clean and shiny! Shampoos do matter, as some are harsher than others; select them
carefully. Hair and scalp might not be washed as typically because the body ages/matures, but do not
neglect it. How often you wash your hair depends on the type of hair, the weather, your physical
activity, and perhaps even your occupation.

• Properly shampoo your hair. Proper, thorough brushing should precede every shampooing. Lather
well once or twice using your fingertips, not nails, to work the lather outward from the scalp. Use
lukewarm (not hot) water to rinse. Rinse well! Daily shampooing won't create the hair fall out, but
it can cause breakage depending on hair type. A clean scalp encourages hair growth.

• Dandruff shampoos can strip hair color. If using color, select a non-alkaline shampoo. Rinse hair
in lukewarm water. Hot water speeds color fading.

• hair is a lot of important than hair color! Keep yourself and your hairstyle up-to-date. Re-evaluate
your hair cut and style periodically; what looked good at age 20 may not at age 40 or 60. A proper
hairstyle, as well as hair color, can make you look youthful and natural.

• Leave long hair to the terribly young; long hair (below chin-length) adds years to the looks. If
you like long hair, wear it swept up in a twist or chignon--don't pull it back in a knot at the neckline!
Tight ponytails and cornrow braid over an amount of your time will encourage a type of hair loss.
Suggestions to consider for women:
¾ Go short, maybe terribly short for simple care and a touch a lot of sophistication. Hairstyle should be
determined with face shape, facial features, personality, and lifestyle in mind.
¾ Avoid fashionable hair designs, especially as you get older. They tend to call attention to age.
Over please Æ
¾ Irregular, subtle, or mature face expressions are softened and have the benefit of hair designs that are
softened (curls, etc.) around the face.
¾ strive bangs or some soft wispy items of hair across the forehead.
¾ think about a permanent to administer hair some extra body and volume. When done by a trained
stylist, today’s perms are generally safe and can give a natural look.

• A hairstyle can camouflage some beauty dilemmas.
¾ Long bangs can soften lines around the eyes (crow’s feet) and forehead wrinkles.
¾ Layering hair around the face, angling at and below the chin can distract from a
wrinkled neck.
¾ Layering is effective in slenderizing the face.

• Hair color should always look natural. The golden rule in hair coloring is not to go too
light or too dark. Cover gray with a shade slightly lighter than your natural color. Bleaches
chemically alter every hair strand but do not injure the root. Hair dye works more like paint by
covering hair strands with color.

• Think about highlighting or a touch of color. Educate yourself about hair coloring before you
take the plunge. Be careful with "do-it-yourself" coloring! Initially, hair coloring is best left to
the professional; rummage around for somebody delicate in hair coloring techniques.

• Gray hair can look chic, even stunning! Keep it silver or white; avoid using blue or purple tints
as this is not natural looking. Coloring grey hair is associate quality once grey hair is unbecoming with
complexion or once the hair is a lot of yellow than grey. Yellowish-gray hair is not flattering to most
people.

• If you employ a drier, turn it off just before hair is completely dry. Hold blower several inches
away from hair. Allow hair to “air dry” and funky before styling.

• Curling is safest if you twist your hair into pin curls overnight. Hot rollers and curling irons offer the most effective results with coarse hair however might harm strands or roots when used to excess. When using a curling iron, always roll in the hair ends last. The safest curling for fine hair is to let it air dry and wind it loosely around sponge rollers.

• Sleep on a cloth pillow/pillowcase to stop losing hair nightlong.

• cowl hair once in bright, intense daylight to stop sun harm. Smoking can and does change hair texture and color of hair.

• If there’s no time to shampoo, sprinkle with a small amount of baby powder down to the roots.
Use just enough powder to absorb grease. Comb or brush powder through hair. Don’t overdo,
or hair will look gray.
