Hairy Discovery ! :)

I discovered some very new tips (well at least these were new for me) to take care of our hair. I have gathered them and am anxious to share them with you guys. So, here goes:

1)  Protein helps Split Ends
Split ends is quite common amongst those who frequently visit the salons for various reasons i.e. hair styling, coloring, bleaching, or perming. All these can actually  damage hair's protective outer layer, known as the cuticle which eventually results to split ends. Thankfully, there are many hair products with adequate PROTEIN to assist in solving this problem.  This element actually helps by penetrating the hair shaft and repair split ends. This routine must be repeated frequently as it only lasts until the next wash.

2)  No oil for dandruff!

I have always been thinking thatandruff is because of dry scalp. However after much research I gathered that it is caused  by an inflammatory process that affects the scalp. This is made worst when we rub oil into the scalp since it can make the inflammation worse, resulting in more unsightly white flakes. It is very important to use any kind of medicated shampoos easily available over-the-counter or from a dermatologist – can best treat dandruff. 

3) Brush less to lessen hair loss

Yes if you think you have been believing to this myth, count me in ladies.  We are advised not to  believe that myth about 100 brush strokes a day. Brushing too many times will snap off hair. A little hair loss is normal as the average is normally 50 to 100 strands. To minimize additional hair loss, use a brush with ball-tipped bristles and avoid brushing while the hair is wet.

4)  Not too much hair coloring

Frequent dying can damage the hair, but it does not appear to harm your health. Most studies indicate no link between cancer and hair dyes. The best alternative is the lead acetate-based dyes or natural dyes such as henna.

5) Give the Blow Dryer a Rest

Okay this is something that I truly follow in as I know the frequency makes strands weaker and this  can actually lead to hair loss. When you do blow dry, turn down the heat. A TIP: Apply Conditioner on hair before blow drying as protection.

6) Eat Fish and Nuts for Healthy Hair

The same nutritious foods that are good for your body promote stronger, healthier hair. The protein and omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and nuts produce a healthier scalp. Nutrients found in leafy vegetables, beans, and carrots are also good for your hair. Beware of fad diets aimed at quick weight loss. Deficiency of some nutrients, such as zinc, biotin, or protein, can lead to brittle hair or hair loss.



So there you have it ladies, the simple tips which may appear to be something new to some. Have fun reading and believing in them. Tune in for more tips!
