Basic Care for Hair

Posted by saurabh.sahni280691 On September - 7 - 2011

The dependence on how you take care of your hair is linked with the type of hair texture you have, your lifestyle, and also on how you style your hair regularly.

Know your hair type : People with dry, curly n frizzy hair have varied hair care needs than those of people with straight and fine hair. But all the hair demands to be treated very gently, specifically when it is wet. As wet hair can stretch, developing into more vulnerable type leading to breakage or damage to the cuticle. That is why it is often said that using a hot blow-dryer (or any such kind of heat styling products) on very wet hair can damage it drastically.

Some people usually find that their hair turns oily in their early teen years. This is because of the fact that hair follicles do have some sebaceous glands that produces sebum, which helps in providing the particular amount of moisture to the hair and the skin. During the adolescence, it is often observed that the sebaceous glands may become hyperactive, making more oil than that of the needed amount. Because with acne, oily hair are normally a temporary rather than a permanent part of puberty.  Many teens try to take care for oily hair by washing it about once in a day — or more if they're active. As long as you dress your hair cautiously when it's wet, frequent washing would not harm it. But if you have acne, it is good to keep the hair around your face tidy so hair oils should not clog onto your pores.



If you're cleaning your hair on the daily basis or so, it would be better if you go for a mild shampoo instead of the shampoo designed for oily type of scalp. For some — especially the ones with fine, fragile, or combination hair (in such a condition you may observe that hair are oily at the crown but are dry towards the ends) — shampoos for oily scalp can be too harsh causing various disasters to your texture of hair. If you possess oily hair and wish to use a conditioner, then go for the ones those are made for oily hair. If you have a dry scalp, it is a good idea to cleanse them less frequently. Some people need to wash their hair for only once a week or more or less — and that's fine. Mostly the people who have curly hair have dry scalp. And we know curly and dry hair types are more fragile than straight hair, so those with such kind of hair need to be very careful about using the heat styling products. Shampoos that are especially made for dry hair and the hair conditioners can really help to a great extent.

Do you love to play some sports or to spend a lot of time at the beach areas? Such kind of things can affect your hair texture greatly. As for an example, if you're an athlete with oily type of hair, you may want to wash hair after working out due to sweat over your scalp during practice and games. But if you are a lifeguard or you’re a swimmer, then sun and the saltwater (or chlorine present in the pool water) can make your hair dry out, no matter what your hair type is. If you are exposed to sun, or wind, or the other elements, you may want to go for a shampoo designed for dry hair or use a conditioner with your. It is an excellent idea to wear a hat to safeguard your hair whenever you are outdoors.

If you wish to go for a chemical treatment to color, or straighten, or curl your hair, it is best to trust the advice of job to the professionals.

Here are the following things to be taken great care of when getting a chemical treatment:

* Relaxers. Relaxers ( or the straighteners) works by breaking the chemical bonds in curly and frizzy hair. Relaxers that contain lye can cause skin irritation to a great extent and apparently causing the hair breakage. Although "no lye" relaxers may be the ones that causes less irritation, but both types of relaxers can lead to problems if they are used in a wrong way (likewise, if they're mixed incorrectly or proportion is not what it actually should be or when the chemicals are left on the hair for too long). Scratching, brushing, or combing to the hair right before a chemical treatment for relaxing can increase such risks. And one should not use relaxers or any hair treatment if your scalp is irritated.

If you wish to keep straightening your hair, you will certainly need to wait for at least one and a half month before your next treatment to evaluate your hair. Relaxers can cause great hair breakage when it is used for over a period of time, even when they are used flawlessly. Using the blow-dryers, or going for curling or straightening irons, or color on the chemically relaxed hair may increase the risk of the damage.

* Perms. Perming includes straight hair and ends up make it curly. The risks factors are similar to those which are associated with relaxers.
* Color. There are two variants of color: permanent color (i.e. the color stays in your hair as long as it grows out) and semi-permanent (i.e. the color washes out after various rinsing over a while). Some of the semi-permanent color treatments, like henna, are comparatively safe and very easy to use at home. Some people may suffer a condition known as contact dermatitis ( which is an allergic reaction with rashes) from henna and other similar "natural" products, so just be sure to test a small area first.

Other color treatments — especially permanent ones may cause the hair loss, burning, or redness, and irritation. Even a few types of color treatments can lead to allergic reactions in some people, and in rare cases these can be very disastrous. So consult your stylist if you’re tensed that you can be sensitive to use of such products. Also, ask your stylist for doing a patch test before using a particular product. And never use the hair dyes on your eyelashes or over your eyebrows.
