Loraine Lesley


Love your hair like you are going to lose it. Hair is delicate, growing stuff which needs to be handled with care. A lot of care will make your hair healthy, shiny and beautiful. Beautiful hair is an asset for any woman. Some are gifted with naturally beautiful hair while others have to really work hard on it. But essentially everybody has to work on hair either for improving or for maintaining it.


Hair has been called the “crowning glory.” That’s because hair covers your head like a crown which can influence your appearance. Sure, your appearance will be good if you can make your “crowning glory” look good, shiny and healthy. That’s why you need to do your hair care diligently. Don’t wait until you have damaged hair to make your move.


Tips For Your Hair Care


To help take care of your hair, here are a few hair care tips which might help you:


- Understand your hair type. Understanding your type of hair – such as oily, dry, natural, curly, straight, kinky or whatever – you can correctly treat your hair with products that are useful to your type of hair..


- Pick a shampoo that gives benefit to your type of hair. Apply shampoo from root to tip; gently work down the hair. Don’t pile up hair while lathering! Rinse thoroughly under running water.


- Choose conditioner that works with your shampoo. Always condition after shampooing. Apply conditioner from tip to root. Comb your hair while conditioning, through hair to ensure distribution and penetration. Use as much conditioner as your hair can absorb.


- Dry your hair gently. Do not rub your hair especially if it is very long. Take time to dry it slowly with a gently-patting or wringing action. Don’t over-dry your hair.


Start To Care For Your Hair


Okay, those tips surely will give you awareness on how to treat your hair basically.


Following are tips for those who feel that looking after your hair is important to its health. Healthy hair looks better and holds the style you want. These tips include the following:


- When you put your hair in a braid or ponytail, don’t use a plain rubber band, always use a specially-treated band like a bungee or similar item. This will prevent hair breakage and hair loss.


- Don’t sleep with your ponytail or in a tight braid. You will break your hair, and it can turn into hair loss.


- If you plan on trying out a new hairstyle such as a braid, updo or twist for a special event then practice the new braiding style several times before the big event arrives. This will guarantee great results.


Another tip is finding the right source for your hair care products. Although hair care products are available almost everywhere, the best place to find your hair care products is on the internet. It is so convenient shopping online since you can check products, compare each product, order so easily, and you can return after purchase if you feel no confidence in the products. Easy, isn’t it?
