Dry hair
Your hair is dry if:
- it
looks dull
- it feels dry or rough
- it tangles easily
- it is difficult to comb or brush
- it has been treated chemically (permed, bleached or colored)
- it is liable to split ends
- it is dry and frizzy.
If your hair matches any of these criteria, you should choose
a shampoo and conditioner that are designed for dry hair.
All these are just guidelines to help you choose the shampoo
that is right for you.
Some people like to wash their hair every
day or even
more often, and choose a 'frequent use' shampoo. Most of today's
shampoos are suitable for using as often as you could wish.
This means that frequent users can choose products of the right
type for their hair, and know that they can shampoo as often
as they like.
People with hair and scalp problems like dandruff
should choose shampoos that are specifically designed to treat
their
particular condition. |

Regular hair care
Washing your hair
Everyone needs to wash their hair! But perhaps because everyone
does it so regularly and so often, it is easy to forget how
much damage you can do to your hair just in the simple shampooing
and drying that has to be done over and over again. Here are
some step-by-step guidelines for preventing unnecessary damage
to your hair and keeping it healthy and shining.
- Let your hair hang naturally while you wash it,
either standing in the shower or with your head leaning
over the bath.
- Rinse your hair throughly with warm water to prepare
it for shampooing.
- Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. You
will have to judge how much shampoo to use - you need
enough to create a lather which will cover all of
your hair.
- Lather up the shampoo in your hand, and then apply
it to your hair. Starting from the scalp, work the
shampoo into your hair by gentle but thorough massage
with your fingertips. Remember to keep your hair hanging
naturally.
