Healthy hair is symbolic of good health and youthfulness. Whether hair is curly, wavy fine or kinky; all hair types have one thing in common: it must be cared for on a daily basis. Without basic maintenance, our hair reflects dullness and limpness.

A regimen of shampooing and conditioning the hair promotes cleanliness of the scalp and hair growth. Shampoos and conditions are selected based on the condition of the hair.

One of the most common hair problem is dandruffs. Dandruffs or pityriasis is caused by the shedding of the scalp. The presence of dandruffs can be controlled by the use of hair care products such as Head & Shoulders, Selsun Blue or Neutrogena T-Gel. Hair brushes such as the Super Scalp Cleansing Brush is a hair care product aids in getting rid of dandruffs.

Dry hair is another type of hair problem. Dry hair usually appear dull with little or no sheen. Dry hair is caused by both external and internal environmental factor. Over shampooing the hair too much and too often dries out the hair. Over processing the hair with the use of perms and dyes are other factors causing the hair to become dry.

-Color Damage
If you are considering adding color to your hair, it is very important to know the overall condition of your hair. If hair has been freshly permed, or if a perm is needed, or if alopecia (hair falling out) is present, hair coloring is not recommended.

When hair is color-damaged, the best remedy is to keep the hair conditioned as often as possible.

Wouldn’t it be great if your hair could look like you had just stepped out of a salon everyday. Perfectly styled, glossy, straight or curly, strong, thick, luscious…but the reality of everyday life mean that you are more likely to just give your hair a quick brush or chuck it up into a ponytail. It’s all about practicality. But if you learn a few trade secrets that can be easily and quickly done, your hair can get that salon look everyday.

1) The first tip doesn’t actually need you to touch your hair and it won’t just make your hair look good but your skin and complexion too. People are always saying that if you are healthy, then your hair looks healthy too. Well I would recommend to take an all round vitamin that incorporates all major vitamins your body needs to stay looking and working well. If you don’t see a major difference when you have added his multi-vitamin to your diet, you could a more specific approach. Try taking vitamins with amino acids which will make your hair look glossy and more important healthy. If you are planning to add any tablets in the form of vitamins to your diet I would suggest that you ask your doctor for advice first, just to be on the safe side. If you don’t want to do down the tablet route, you could just add specific foods to your diet. Try fresh fish that is rich in Omega 3 and will provide your hair with essential natural oils to keep it moisturized. Drink the recommended two liters of water a day..this may seem like a lot but if you have a bottle of water with you at most times, you will drink it faster than you think. And of course you can eat more fruit and vegetables.

2) Make you own natural hair care products. People are always complaining about the costs of branded shampoos and conditioners but the very best products for your hair are already in your home. Why not just try mashing up an avocado and place it directly onto the hair that you have just rinsed. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and then rinse. Your hair won’t just smell great but look fantastic too. Try the same technique with a banana if you prefer the smell of that. Talk about cheap and cheerful.

3) Your hair is like a good rose bush. You need to prune it every so often to make sure that the good new stems can grow. Make sure that you have hair your hair trimmed every two to three months depending on the length of your hair. Do not think that if you are in the process of growing your hair you do not need it trimming. The split ends will not only look bad

There are several “must have hair care products” that my hair just could not survive without, but before I let you in on my little hair care secrets, let me give you a brief history of my hair. I am someone who likes to change my hair colour on a regular basis. When I see a celebrity in a magazine or on television it makes me long for that particular hair colour. I love the feeling that a new hair colour can evoke within me. My natural hair colour is a very dark brown, which I like, but quickly bores me.

I have always wanted hair with multi tones and highlights-Jennifer Aniston‘s hair colour being my all-time dream hair colour, but it is surprisingly difficult to achieve her hair colour. This past three months alone I have gone from black hair, to medium brown, to very bright (somewhat luminous) blonde. I am currently a dark blonde hair colour and am considering scattering a few blonde highlights throughout the front of my hair – just to liven it up a little. My aim is to look as “naturally” blonde as possible, especially now with summer on its way, I would like to lighten it up.

You must be thinking that my hair is in horrendous condition, maybe even on the verge of falling out, but I can assure you that it is in good condition. I have always taken care of my hair. I have bought very inexpensive hair care products to the most expensive hair care products on the market, and I can advise you that the best hair care products are definitely the inexpensive products.

I am someone who is a bit of a hair care product “junkie”. I used to spend hours at the weekend just reading the labels on the back of bottles of shampoo and conditioner, comparing the expensive and inexpensive brands. My research revealed to me that the number one ingredient listed on all shampoos and conditioners was “aqua”, in other words “water”. I asked myself why I should pay exorbitant prices for water, and I decided that I would start spending my money on the inexpensive brands. However, I would recommend sticking to fairly well known brand names.

My “must have” every day shampoo and conditioner is any from the Timotei range. They are very gentle on the scalp and hair and smell good too. My all-time “must have” hair care product is VO5 Hot Oil Conditioner. It is a little miracle in a tube. You just pop it in a cup of warm water, wait a few minutes, then smooth it on to your hair, wait another minute and shampoo and condition as usual. You will notice the difference in your hair almost immediately.

I hope my recommendations will have helped you achieve healthier hair, just remember not to buy into the marketing and advertising hype of the more expensive hair care brands.
