Save My Hair

We all love our hair and will do everything to take care of it, but how? Here are a few facts about hair care:

* Avoid too much styling experiment with hair. Coloring or perming your hair often can damage it.
* It is advisable not to perm and color hair the same day.
* Too much blow drying or hot curling can damage your hair.
* Pulling hair put strain on the follicle and this may result in permanent damage and the follicle no longer being able to grow again.
* Avoid combing or brushing wet hair as they are more fragile when wet.
* Identify the right shampoo for your hair. Every shampoo has scientific value. To get the most for your money match it up to your hair type.
* Always wear a bathing cap while swimming in the pool and shampoo your hair immediately afterwards.

Hair fall is a common issue with most people. This can happen due to varied levels of stress and anxiety, inadequate sleep, eating disorders and even improper hair care products. This can also become a major issue if sufficient hair care is not included in your lifestyle.

Try and get a hair product that suits your mane and stick to it. Frequent changing of formulations can as well affect your hair resulting into hair fall. It is recommended to visit a salon and opt for a hair nourishing spa at least once a month.

If your hair is colored, chances are high that they might start falling. Chemicals tend to invade the hair follicles and damage the interior structure. Wash colored hair with products formulated to treat it specifically. Again, an experts or specialist's treatment would be great to ensure that chemically colored hair is healthy too.

I use a combination of coconut oil, caster oil, honey and lemon juice. At times I even add the white of an egg. I particularly take care to include a spa each month and rinse my tresses with tea leaves soaked in warm water after each wash. This gives a natural shine to my hair and also prevents hair fall.
