Hair conscious? Here are some tips for you to know what are the Do’s and Don’ts in caring your hair.
Do
- Choose brushes and combs with widely spaced and smooth tipped bristles and teeth to avoid the risk of splitting hairs and scratching the scalp.
- Wash combs and brushes in shampoo or soap at least once a week.
- Always rinse your hair thoroughly.
- Use a conditioner to smooth the outer surface of the hair, which is roughened by washing.
- Apply extra conditioner when using a hairdryer, rollers, or tongs.
- Always try a temporary rinse first before you risk using permanent color.
- Go to a professional colorist for permanent dyeing or bleaching.
- To disguise graying, try a semi permanent colorant, which lasts for six to eight shampoos.
Don’ts
- Over brush your hair, it may increase the greasiness of oily hair and break the ends of dry hair.
- Tangle the hair while washing it.
- Give dry hair two applications of shampoo.
- Rub too vigorously when drying; it may break and tangle the hair.
- Have permanent bleach if all you really need are “highlights.”
- Apply permanent color until you have tested the solution on your skin for 36 hours to check for any adverse reactions.
Did you know?
- Brushing your hair 100 times a day to make the hair shine does no good and may even damage the hair.
- Daily shampooing, although not strictly necessary, can do no harm as long as you use a mild shampoo.
- Static electricity is reduced by a conditioner.
- The hair is heavy when wet and up to 20 percent less elastic when dry.
- A permanent can give body to lank hair, but the chemicals can make it drier and more brittle.
