All women and a increasing number of men want shiny hair. This is because shiny hair is perceived as belonging to a healthy, vibrant person. The fact is that as we get older, men's hair falls out and women's hair becomes more brittle. So how can you have age-defying hair?
There are a few tricks of the trade, some of which are pretty obvious when you give them a bit of thought. The first and most important tip is not to over wash your hair. Your head produces oil to protect your hair and it does that because it thinks that hair is vital to help it control the temperature of the brain.
OK, nowadays we can put a hat on or erect a parasol, but it takes the body a long time to change. The point is to not wash all the oil off your hair very frequently. You need to wash the muck off your hair but not all the oil.
Consequently, rub the shampoo into your scalp and not into your hair. As the shampoo runs off your hair it will take the dirt off your hair with it but only some of the oil. This makes a huge difference.
The tip above is the most important bit of advice because it applies to whatever shampoo you purchase, but the next tip applies to what shampoo to buy. Do not stint on shampoo if you would like nice-looking hair.
Do you remember the days when you had to wash your hair, rinse it and then apply conditioner and then rinse again? Well those actually were the good old days as far as hair is concerned. These all-in-ones work on the principle that the conditioner will not work in the presence of oil and the shampoo will not activate if there is no oil.
This means that on the first wash, half the shampoo is wasted, but the shampoo has to scour your hair for the second wash (conditioner) to do its job. On the second wash the conditioner does its job, but the shampoo half goes down the drain having done nothing.
In other words, your cheap bottle of shampoo with conditioner costs two times as much as you paid for it, so why not buy separate shampoo and conditioner in the first place?
The combined shampoo and conditioner is a con because it makes you think that you are saving time and thereby getting something for nothing. You are not.
The best advice you can get for your hair is to purchase a mild shampoo without conditioner. By all means buy one that says that it is better suited to your type of hair if you like. Then do some research on your hair type and natural colour on the Net and make your own conditioner or purchase one.
Individuals used to use vinegar, beer, dandelions and all kinds of items and one that I have recently come across is Butterfly Pea. Do not become guiled by adverts and time saving if you really like your hair
