Hair do's and don'ts....

Posted Jan 25, 2009 02:24 PM
1. Brushing your hair excessively or vigorously can lead to breakage and tearing. Wet hair is even more fragile so be very gentle. Avoid breakage by using a wide tooth comb and a boar's bristle brush.

2. Daily shampooing is not necessary, and if you use water that's too hot, it can dry out your hair and skin. Shampooing every other day is fine for most people and even recommended for chemically treated hair. If you must wash, just rinse and use conditioner.

3. It's ok to blow dry your hair if you use the right thermal hair protector and continually move the blower. Blow dry damage occurs only with excessive heat and if you fail to use the right products.

4. Can split ends be repaired? Despite products that claim to do this, all they really do is seal the splits, making them less visible temporarily. (Cutting them is the only solution) By doing this you are encouraging hair growth by stopping the split ends from splitting even further up the hair and causing more breakage...........

Very helpful and in layperson's terms easily understood. Thank you. When I think of the abuse my poor hair endured when I used to tease it as a teenager, oye!
Hi Roz,
I really enjoy your posts. I would like to collaborate with you if you are interested. My online bridal magazine could use some input from you. Also, I have some other ideas for joint venturing.
Warm Regards,
