They said that hair is the crowning glory of a person. That is why I really wanted to have long hair. It is really nice to look at a woman with shiny black hair. Below are some of the tips on how to keep our hair shiny, strong, smooth and beautiful without going to the parlor. 1. Keep your diet balanced, eat protein and calcium rich foods. This is essential for healthy hair. Stay away from eating junk foods!
2. Foods and supplements that will give nourishment to your hair:
- Beans
- Yogurt
- Almonds
- Vitamin B
- Fish
- And of course, the most substantial - WATER
3. Before taking a bath, comb your hair to make sure that all knots has been loosened from your hair.
4. Before applying shampoo, use warm water (35 to 38 degrees Celsius) to run through your hair to rinse and wet it thoroughly.
5. When applying shampoo or conditioner, don't use your fingernails to scrape your hair. Instead, use your palm and fingertips to massage your scalp and hair gently, in circular motions. This will help the circulation and also help to keep your hair shiny and smooth.
6. After rinsing away all the shampoo, run water over your hair for at least another half a minute (3 minutes is best) to ensure there are no remains of shampoo remaining in your hair, since this will cause a great deal of damage to your scalp.
7. When applying hair treatment products, do so just after you have washed your hair, so that your hair can absorb all the good stuff while it is half wet. This will be the best time for it to absorb nourishment.
8. NEVER go to bed with your hair wet! Hair that is half wet is most easily broken, and if you sleep during this time, your hair will be rubbing against each other, damaging your hair in the most terrible way.
9. Too much pressure may lead to hair loss! Relax... try some good relaxation methods such as soaking in a nice scented bath, listening to music, and eating healthy comfort foods such as strawberries and grapes.
