Hair Care July 12, 2009

Our hair is said to be our crowning glory. Hair can make us beautiful or ugly, hence the “bad hair day.” To avoid constantly putting on a hat or pulling your hair back to a ponytail, ensure you have great looking hair everyday by taking great care of it.

Shampoo and conditioner should only be done twice a week and only apply a coin-sized amount during every application. Shampoos can strip off hair’s natural oil, making it dry and dull. Conditioner, although helps protect hair, can also damage it if used frequently. Make sure to use an intensive conditioner once a week to strengthen and improve hair’s appearance.

Using an iron? If you’re still using a metal one, chuck it out the window. Nowadays, the ceramic flat iron is in and it doesn’t damage hair like a metal one does.

Stay out of the sun as much as possible. Hair dries out when exposed to too much heat and sweat. If your work requires you to be outdoors all the time, apply a hair serum or leave on conditioner with SPF to prevent any further damage to your hair.

Drinking supplements such as vitamins and minerals can improve the condition of your hair and skin too.
