3 Benefits Of Taking Care Of Your Hair

Recent surveys have shown that over 90% of women are not satisfied with their hair and would gladly trade it with a friend, colleague or a sister. But why hair has such great impact on our mood and self-esteem? According to some experts, beside eyes and smile, hair is the reason for the greatest number of compliments a woman gets. While smile and eyes are not as easy to change, hair is. And nothing can cheer you up as much as a new hairstyle or a haircut can. But do you feel as if nobody else spends as much time trying to get their hair in order as you do? Do you often have a ‘bad hair day’ and feel like staying at home? If you do, read on to learn how to care for your hair without spending a fortune on hair salons and expensive products.

Clean Scalp Equals Healthy Hair – Clean your hair and scalp regularly (at least once a week and not more than three times a week). To avoid breakage (especially important for those women who have thinning hair or are suffering from hair loss), it is important to get hair completely wet before applying shampoo. Also use small amount of shampoo (a dollop the size of a quarter is more than enough) and massage gently. Rinse well.

If you have thinning hair try rinsing it out with beer. Many women who are battling hair loss say that this may be the best hair loss treatment among many other home remedies that can help slow down the hair loss process by strengthening hair follicles. For best results combine it with camomile tea. After you’ve finished with shampooing your hair, pour one bottle of beer over it and let it sit for a minute or two. Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with chamomile tea. Rinse once again with cool water and dry.

Prevent Breakage And Split Ends – Always towel-dry your hair and be gentle. Wrap your hair in a towel and leave it on for about 5-10 minutes. Unwrap the towel and dry sections of your hair with a towel by massaging it gently. It is best to let your hair air dry whenever possible, as blow drying will further damage your hair. If you suffer from any type of hair loss the best hair loss treatment for your hair would be avoiding hairstyling gadgets such as blow dryer, curling iron, flat iron, etc. as much as possible. Avoid brushing your hair when wet. Instead, run your fingers through your hair to untangle it and comb it with a wide-tooth comb to minimize breakage and avoid split ends.

Feed Your Hair – Whenever possible (preferably once a week) use a home-made hair mask. For fuller looking hair use beer and egg mask. Add one egg yolk to 50 ml beer, apply the mixture on damp hair, wrap it in plastic bag and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Rinse as usual. Some women claim that oak flakes are miracle workers when it comes to thinning hair. Mix oat flakes, milk and castor oil (3 tablespoons of each), apply the mixture to your hair, wrap it in a plastic bag and leave it on for 15-30 minutes. Rinse as usual.
