Hair Care: Give your hair a headstart

Man is the crown of creation and hair is his crowning glory. Hair is a precious a beauty asset which deserves good care. Beautiful hair is the body’s  natural  fashion accessory.  Hair  is  an inseparable part of your face and it adds to your good looks.

Hair is the mirror of your health. Hair maintained well, enhances your personality. In sum, hair is the most important indicator of beauty and health and hence it is worthwhile to expend time and energy to take care of it.

Beautiful hair flatters your features, face and skin. Your hair can create an illusion of width or height balancing with the shape of your face.

Typology of hair

 Everyone’s hair is as individual as a finger-print. Hair varies from person to person in terms of colour, texture, body and bounce.

Hair grows from an indentation or pocket in the skin called the follicle. At the bottom of the follicle is the hair papilla and this is where all the action take place. The papilla ‘is continuously producing cells. These cells are pushed up and out of the follicle and as they move upwards they harden until they emerge as hard keratin, a protein, we recognise as hair.

Hair types may be classified under four broad categories namely, normal, dry, greasy and combinatioin hair. Normal hair has a healthy natural bounce and sheen. It is neither dry nor greasy. It is manageable.

Dry hair is usually caused by external factors like penning, excess heat, bleaching, use of strong shampoo, frequent shampooing and faulty diet. Dry hair invariably has split ends and is always coarse in texture. Dry hair needs frequent deep conditioning treatment. Oil treatment of the scalp using almond, olive or coconut oil will improve this condition.

Protein – rinse is another good option to tackle this problem. Greasy hair is usually caused by hormonal imbalances during adolescence and menopause. Environmental conditions like weather and humidity also contribute to this problem. Greasy hair looks dull, lank and is not amenable to manageable styling.

Greasy hair requires frequent shampooing with a mild shampoo. The ends of the hair require conditioning once a week.

Combination hair is very greasy at the scalp and has dry split ends. This condition may be remedied by the use of more conditioner at the ends of hair. Try to avoid fried, spicy food stuff. Chocolates and sweets also must be scrapped from diet.
