Hair care for different types of hair

Hair adds a crowning glory to a man’s persona. It is of utmost importance to take special care of this valuable asset and thereby preserving healthy hair. Modern and hectic lifestyle leaves little or no time for taking proper care of your hair. Unhealthy eating habits, lack of proper rest and sleep and stress badly affect your hair’s condition. This leads to thinning of hair, drying and in extreme cases hair falling out and even baldness.

There are so many shampoo and hair products that promise you to have a beautiful and shiny hair in just couple of weeks. But the problem is you really have to know first the type of hair you have before buying these product.

But having a beautiful and shiny hair doesn't only rely on the products that we use, In order to have a health hair we must also be observant to what we eat.

Hair Care Tips

Beautiful, healthy and shining hair is a valuable asset. Healthy hair is dependent on the health of the scalp (hair requires a plentiful supply of nutrient-rich blood to nourish the hair follicles in the scalp) it makes sense that eating nutritionally balanced meals will promote healthy follicles and healthy hair growth. Consume omega 3 fat acid and protein for healthy hairs.

To have healthy and beautiful hair, you need some hair care tips as below

  1. Choose natural shampoo - Natural shampoo is safer than chemical shampoo. Use a shampoo that is pH balanced and that is formulated for your hair type. Conditioner should be nourishing but not heavy. Rinse with cool water for extra shine.
  2. Avoid rinsing hair so often - We tend to rinse our hair so often in the hot season. The risk to rinse hair so often, make your hair become dry and affect your head skin.
  3. Avoid excess use of dryers - Blow dryer is commonly used to dry hair. This makes your hair broken. Use the tool properly to avoid your hair broken.
  4. Scalp massage - Massage the scalp with the oil regularly to encourage oil production. Hot oil treatment is very beneficial in preventing hair loss.
  5. Never brush wet hair, which can lead to breakage; instead, use a wide tooth comb after you shampoo.
  6. After swimming, wash your hair with fresh water as soon as possible to remove chlorine residue.
  7. Color your hair perfectly - To cover grey hair it is better to go a professional salon for coloring than doing yourself. Use the special shampoo; do not rinse your hair after 72 hours coloring.
  8. Consult your stylist - We usually want to have new hair stylist. To do hair style, it must have chemical process. Consult your stylist the better way to choose, because your hair needs special care before or after chemical process.

Hair me please!

I think that every girl or every woman would agree with me when i say that one of the reasons of guys turning their heads at us is our "hair", its one of our physical assets that we should take care of. No wonder there's a lot of parlor and salon in every corner of every street as well as inside the mall, it's just everywhere!! We love to change our looks every now and then, however we need to be aware on how to properly take care of our hair.

We can't just do experiments on our hair without consultation, we can't just go to a salon and tell the stylist you want Angelina Jolie's new cut. One has to look or consider his or her physical traits such as the
  • shape of your face
  • your skin color
  • shape of your eyebrows
  • even the type of ears you have
Those are some considerations you have to think first before you decide of the cut, the color or the hairstyle you want. Sometimes, those cut or style that looks good on other people or its the "in thing" would also look good on us! Thats why we should consult or ask advice to hair experts if the look that we want would also look good on us!

I used to have a long shiny hair, and we all know it's hard to take care and maintain it, you really have to give time effort to keep it beautiful. My mom use to buy coconut and scrape its coconut meat, boil it and squeeze to extract its oil, put in in my hair and have it stayed there for an hour, rinse it with shampoo(you know old ways!), and you know what?? the smell of the oil stayed at my hair for 3 days even if i wash it with shampoo! It was sooo annoying i have to stay home the whole time, i don't want people to smell me that way. Good thing now, thanks to the advanced technology and experiments and studies, we can go to parlors or salons for hot oils smelling great after and there's the improved shampoo and conditioner to make our hair look better without spending much!

Some people really pays much to keep their hair beautiful, shiny and healthy, but we can also have that to a lesser or cheaper expense.
Here are some cheap tips,

  • Trim the ends of you hair once a month to keep from split ends,
  • Brush your hair when you wake up and before you go to sleep for a hundred times (believe me it still works),
  • Don't forget to apply conditioner for your hair after shampooing and when you condition your hair leave the conditioner for a minute or two,
  • Don't tie your hair if it's still wet and when you tie you hair,
  • Tie it loosely so it won't be wavy (this are for those who have straight hair)
  • Don't blow dry your hair too often.

If possible avoid chemical applications on your hair. I know most women go to salons to have their hair relax or rebonds or hair cellophane, hair spa, hot oil, etc., it's best to do it just one at a time every after six months so that your hair won't be damaged, cause there are a lot of cases of damaged hair due to improper hair care.

Over the past years I've already done lots of styles on my hair, I had a straight black hair, straight colored hair, straight streaked hair, short layered hair, bangs, short and long curly or permed hair. The style which is hard to maintain is the curly long hair, it usually takes me an hour to fix it, every time I have an appointment i make sure i have a 2 hours alloted time for bath, hair, makeup, getting dressed the longest time of it, I spend on my hair. That's why I just recently cut my hair straight and short cause it takes much of my time. One good thing about my long curly hair is that, it's really nice and I feel like a goddess, everywhere I go, people say something nice about my hair and some women envy it, one thing they don't realize is how hard it is to keep it that way. One great advice that I can give and that sure would really work is that no matter what hairstyle you have as long as you know how to carry it, how to project it, how to flaunt it you would look gorgeous! If you want to be beautiful, start within yourself.....feel beautiful because we all are.
