Three Basic Steps to Proper Hair Care
Article by Rick Alexander
Hair care is no alien language for every one of us. It’s part of our daily grind, a routine we do from sunrise to sundown. For the beauty-conscious to the hygienic, caring for the hair is like breathing. However, not everyone is acquainted with the right and proper way of caring for those lovely tresses. Worst, we might even get the opposite of what we expect in our everyday shampooing, combing, and brushing if we improperly do it. So before you end up saying good bye to a beautiful, healthy, and shiny hair, it would be better to equip yourself now with basic but effective tips on proper hair care, which you can apply everyday.
Proper hair care involves three basic steps, which include shampooing, conditioning, and drying. Following the proper way of executing each of these basic steps would not only give you long-lasting beautiful hair but also save you from complicated, expensive, and even more damaging hair treatments.
Shampooing. Before hitting the shower, it is advised that you comb your hair first to let it hang freely so we could prevent tangles when we wash it. Rinse it with warm water first before applying the rich lather of shampoo into your hair. Work the shampoo from the scalp and gently massage it with your fingertips. Avoid over rubbing your scalp and keep your hair hanging naturally. Let running water rinse your hair while caressing it downward with your fingers again gently to avoid friction, which could damage the hair.
Conditioning. After you have completely rinsed off all the shampoo from you hair, gently squeeze out excess water and apply the conditioner, which should be spread evenly over your hair. Hair care experts say that conditioners are really meant to moisturize and soften the hair so never mind applying some to the scalp. Leave the conditioner in your hair for two minutes then rinse it with running water. Again, let your fingers caress it downwards to totally wash off the conditioner.
Drying. Carefully pat your hair with a clean dry towel. Avoid rubbing you hair to dry. Comb your damp hair with a wide-toothed comb to loosen the tangles and to help dry the hair naturally. If you’re in a hurry and need quick drying, you can use a hair dryer or blower but lowest speed and lowest heat setting must be used. Do not concentrate the hair dryer in one spot to avoid drying out the hair’s moisture leading to permanent damage. Instead, keep the dryer moving constantly around your head.
Hair care needs not to be expensive. Only a little awareness on how to properly do it will do the works in achieving that best looking radiantly shiny hair.

Basic Beauty Tips To Keep Your Hair Beautiful
Article by Roberto Sedycias
One of the things that seem to give many women trouble is their hair. It is often flat or dry or messy or tangled and does not seem to be cooperative when you need it to be. When you are on your way to work or school, you need your hair to cooperate, and when you are going out to meet friends or on a date, you want it to look even better than usual. But, often it hangs flat and appears lifeless and you don’t know how to fix it. The days when hairspray solved all are over and so now it is hard to achieve that full, lush appearance. However, if you maintain your hair regularly, you will find that the overall quality and health of your hair improves and you will be able to manage it in great ways whenever you need to the most.
Part of managing your hair occurs in the shower when you wash it. Shampooing your hair is important, but it is also important to make sure that you wash all of the shampoo out of your hair. Leaving it in your hair will actually cause you to leave toxic residue that is not good for your hair or scalp. So make sure you thoroughly rinse it out and get it all out so that you wash away all the dirt and debris from your hair. Make sure that you always use conditioner or else you will not be adding any moisture to your hair.
Hair gets dry from daily wear against the sun and depending on the climate where you live and the type of chemicals in your daily water, your hair is constantly being attacked upon. That is why conditioning your hair is so essential to the health and strength of your hair. Adding conditioning allows you to infuse moisture and essential oils and nutrients that keep your hair soft and protected. Most conditioners require you to leave it in for a while to really soak up all of the good qualities, so reserve about three minutes to leave it in and absorb before rinsing it out. Another tip is to untangle and part your hair the way you want it to be while it is wet. That way, when you get out, your hair will dry in the form that you desire it to be in and you will not have to worry about tangles and other kinds of conflicts.
Keeping your hair protected requires a lot of brushing and combing. When you brush your hair, make sure that it is dry, because your hair is weaker when it is wet and brushing it then will cause it to tear from your skull or break. But, when your hair is dry, it is important to brush your hair regularly, as this process smoothens your hair and makes it flaxen and silky. Also, you will stimulate your scalp and force hair to grow with more abundance and health than ever before. Your hair will also benefit from oils and moisture creams, such as leave in conditioners and things that infuse your hair with moisture and vitality. Also, things like olive oil helps keep your hair moisturized and strong, and soaking your hair in oil every night and leaving it in will provide you with a softness you have never before experienced.
