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.

Taking care of your hair
We have 100,000 hairs on our head that which each hair shaft has three layers with cuticle (outside layer).The cuticle is protecting the two inner layers from heat,sun,chlorine and all other hazards from our environment. Cuticle lies flat and reflects light cause hair to shine. Shiny hair is a sign of healthy hair.
There are two type of hair; straight and curly. Sebum (natural oil on the hair) covers straight hair better than curly hair. That why the straight hair can appear shinier.
Types of hair.
Different hair type needs different hair care. Most important is all hair needs gently treat especially when it’s wet. Wet hair can stretch treat and making it to breakage or cuticle damage. Heat styling product i.e. hot blow. Dryer can damage our hair when being used on very wet hair.Especially, for people who curly and dry hair; you need to take extra careful when using heat styling products.
During adolescence, we will find out hair gets oily because the hair follicles contain sebaceous glands that make sebum to moisturize the hair and skin. The sebaceous glands may become overactive and producing more oil than needed. But don’t worry; oily hair is usually a temporary part of puberty.
Washing your hair everyday or more shouldn’t harm it, as long as you treat your hair gently when it’s wet. You better choose a mild shampoo instead of a shampoo designed for oily hair if you’re washing it frequently .If you have oily hair and want to use a conditioner, you should try to use a conditioner that’s made for oily hair. For some people who have dry hair, you may wash it less frequently.

Activity Level and interests
You do need an extra care if you play sports or spend a lot of time at the beach because these activities can affect your hair. For example, if you are an athlete with oily hair, you may need to wash your hair after working up a sweat during games. But if you are a lifeguard or a swimmer, sun and saltwater (or the chlorine in pool water) can just dry your hair out, no matter what type of hair. If you are exposed to sun, wind and other elements, you may want to use a shampoo designed for dry hair or use a conditioner. It is an additional protection for your hair if you wear hat when you are outdoors.
Hairstyle
Heat styling products such as curling and straightening irons can dry out your hair if used too much. You must follow the instruction carefully and don’t use on wet hair or high settings. You may need to stop from styling once in a while.
Chemical treatments to color, straighten or curl your hair also can harm hair if not used properly. Therefore, you need to ask the hair stylist because they were trained in applying chemicals to hair; evaluate your hair type and decide which chemicals will work on you.
Color treatments especially permanent treatment can cause hair loss, burning, redness and irritation. Some types also can cause allergic reactions on certain people. Before it become serious, you need to talk to your stylist about your sensitivity to the products especially before using a product.
To keep your hair healthy, one of the best ways is do regular haircuts. It can help you protect the ends of your hair from damage especially splitting. In fact, your hair may grow better after cutting.
Dealing with hair problems.
Dandruff-is a flakes or dead skin which we can found in hair and an clothing. It is not dangerous for us. We can reduce the dandruff flakes by shampooing. Just massage your scalp to loose the flakes for at least 5 minutes.Then, rinse well your hair after washing. If your dandruff problem not solve, see your doctor perhaps may prescribe a prescribe shampoo, lotion or liquid to rub into your scalp.
Hair Breakage- Hair can break when points in the hair thicken or weaken. A major cause is due to improper use of chemical hair treatment. Besides that, brushing or combing hair too frequently also can cause hair breakage. Leaving hair extensions and braids too long or pulling them out in the wrong way also cause breakage. It can cause hair and scalp damage or even hair loss. Please see doctor, if your hair is breaking and keep losing even you don’t treat it with chemicals or styling products.
Hair Loss-As a fact, we lose about 100 hairs each day. So the new hair hairs can replace the old fall out hairs. If not being replaced by new hair, a person can become bald or have bald patches. See doctor to solve this problem i.e. to slow hair loss and to help hair grow.
Same as our body, to keep hair healthy by eat right, do exercise and protect it from expose too much to the sun.

Take Care of Synthetic Hair Extensions
Article by Hairweavs
Shampooing of synthetic hair extensions can be just as easy as shampooing your natural hair. For instance, most hair hairstylists advise that you use only a mild shampoo or even use a specially made wig shampoo.
You can ask your hairstylist for the directions on not only what type of shampoo should you use; but also the best methods of brushing, combing and drying synthetic hair extensions. However, because human hair extensions are generally commercially processed to maximise color uniformity and texture, a mild shampoo and conditioner is generally recommended.
It is also recommended that a light conditioner be used to reduce tangling. You should always use cool to cold water when shampooing to reduce the chance of matting and tangling.
How to Style Synthetic Hair Extensions
Keep in mind that the same care you take when shampooing must also be applied to styling synthetic extensions hair. Too much heat used to straighten curly hair or to curl straight hair can serious damage it. Synthetic hair along with a blend of human hair must be treated carefully and gently and especially so when it comes to heat styling.
It really all depends on the type of synthetic fiber used in the hair extension as to whether blow drying is possible at a very low heat. Most synthetics will burn, melt or even warp when subjected to harsh and constant heat of a curling iron, flat iron or even a modern and expensive blow-dryer.

Good Hair Care May Head off Hair Loss
Everyday things that we do to our hair can lead to lackluster locks â?? and even hair loss. To help you find out if you may be damaging your hair unintentionally, ask yourself the following questions. If you answer “yes” to any question, be sure to read the text that follows. It explains why hair loss can result and what changes dermatologists recommend to head off hair loss.
Do you vigorously towel dry your hair?Vigorously drying wet hair with a towel can cause hair loss because wet hair is more elastic and more vulnerable to breakage than dry hair. Instead of rubbing hair dry, absorb the water by wrapping your hair in a towel â?? or just let your hair air dry.Do you brush or comb your hair when it is wet? If have straight hair and are of Caucasian or Asian descent, try to comb and brush your hair only when it is dry. Brushing or combing your hair when it is wet can stretch the strands causing them to break.People who have tightly curled or textured hair or are of African descent should comb or brush their hair when it is wet. Doing so decreases the chance of hair breakage.
Do you use a blow dryer or curling iron?The high heat from a blow dryer can actually boil the water in the hair shaft leaving the hair brittle. Dermatologists recommend letting your hair partially air dry before you style or comb. This gives your hair excellent body, and there is less chance of hair damage. Decreasing the number of times per week that you blow dry is another way to help limit the damage.If you use a curling iron to add body to your hair, be sure you do not leave the curling iron in place for more than a second or two. No matter what your hair type, the excessive heat can damage your hair.
]]>
Do you use styling products that promise a long-lasting hold?While these products may give your hair unbeatable hold, using a comb to style your hair after your apply the product often causes the hair to break. Over time, this can lead to significant hair loss. Reducing the use of these products can minimize hair loss.
Do you try to fit 100 brush strokes per day into your hair-care routine? It is a myth that100 strokes a day promotes healthy hair. Vigorous brushing can strip the ends of the hair, causing split ends. Dermatologists recommend that brushing be kept to a minimum to limit breakage.
Do you color, perm, or relax your hair?Dermatologists recommend that coloring, bleaching, permanents, and hair relaxers be used on a limited basis. All damage the hair and can cause dry, brittle strands.
Do you wear braids, a ponytail, or hair extensions? Tight braids, ponytails, and hair extensions can damage hair â?? and when worn for too long cause hair loss. All of these styles pull on your hair and when worn continuously usually cause tension that leads to breakage. If the tension continues, traction alopecia (hair loss caused by pulling on the scalp) can develop.
Do you let the sun color your hair? Excessiveexposure to the sun can cause hair to become weak, dry, rough, faded, and brittle. You are especially susceptible to this if you use chemicals to bleach or lighten the natural color of your hair and then expose your hair to the sun. The chemicals often cause unsightly yellowing, fading, and a dull appearance. Even natural brunette hair can react to the sun and develop a reddish hue. To protect your hair from discoloration dermatologists recommend using a leave-in conditioner that contains zinc oxide and wearing a wide-brimmed hat. A hat provides the added benefit of protecting your face and scalp from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays that cause skin cancer.
Do you skip the conditioner? Dermatologists recommend using a conditioner after every shampoo.While a conditioner cannot repair hair, it can increase shine, decrease static electricity, improve strength, and offer some protection from harmful UV rays. This, in turn, can significantly improve the look of damaged or weathered hair.
Do you condition your hair after getting out of a swimming pool? Wetting and conditioning your hair before you dive in helps protect your hair from the damaging effects of the chlorine. After swimming, be sure to use a specially formulated “swimmers” shampoo and deep condition to replace lost moisture.

Golden Rule in Natural African Hair Care – Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Golden Rule in Natural African Hair Care – Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
Golden Rule in Natural African Hair Care – Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
The key to healthy Black hair and growth is moisture. I just recently changed my moisturizing regiment, because while I religiously moisturized my hair, it was still very dry. I found that although I was frequenting African hair care vlogs and blogs like Curly Nikki, I wasn’t truly paying attention to what contributors were writing about. I think because my hair had grown 5 inches in 6 months (when previously I hadn’t achieved any growth due to breakage) and I completely repaired the damaged sections of my hair, I thought my moisture regiment was on point. Boy was I wrong!
First, I would mixed around three tablespoons of coconut oil and one table spoon of olive oil together and heated it up in the microwave (not too hot). I would then wet my hair, soaked it with the hot oil and put on a heat cap for about 30 minutes. Next, I would co-wash the oil out of my hair, spray in Hawaiian Silky leave-in conditioner and let my hair air dry. Once it was dry, I would moisturized my scalp with my Jojoba mix, which consists of 5 drops of Rosemary, 2 drops of Lavender to one tablespoon of Jojoba oil. I then separate my hair into 11 big sections, twist each section, put on a satin bonnet and I’m done.
With this regiment, I didn’t comb my hair much, once a month at best. I found that detangling with my fingers while co-washing worked just fine. Its common knowledge in the natural African hair care community that our hair isn’t supposed to be combed or brushed too much and not combing worked for me when I grew my hair out over the winter.
My hair would only remain supple for ONE day on this regiment. It would literally be dried out on the second day even after re-spritzing with the leave-in. I do co-wash two to three times a week, one because I can’t stand that frowsy hair smell and two, washing allows me to get some moisture. Although some may consider 3 co-washes a week a bit much for dry hair, its the only way I can get that suppleness back.
My hair had always been super, duper dry and I just thought I had to live with that fact and do whatever I could to keep it moist for as long as possible. After sticking with this treatment for eight months I realized there should be something I could do to stay moisturized, so I started researching again. I spent a couple of hours on Curly Nikki as opposed to just browsing for a few minutes and low and behold, I came across a post from a sista with baddest Afro I have ever seen in my life! One of the first things she talked about was how dry her hair is and she went on to outline her moisture regiment.
When she co-washes, she uses around five different types of conditioner together and she doesn’t rinse it out! Further, if she feels her hair was getting a little dry between co-washes, she’ll spritz in more conditioner! I first thought that all of that conditioner would cause a lot of build-up and eventually be damaging, but the truth is everything the mainstream teaches us about natural African hair care is backward. We can basically do the opposite of what other people do with their hair, especially in the case of conditioning. After all, look at her hair! She’s maintained this regiment for the better part of six years and her hair is gorgeous, so all of that conditioning must be working!
As I researched on, I came across a post about sealing with oil. The post described how sealing locks in what ever type of moisturizer you are using and aids in keeping your hair moisturized. I’ve never sealed my hair. I figured since I hot oil treated my hair, oiled my scalp and used a very rich leave-in, I didn’t need to put in any more oil. However, it was still very dry between co-washes, even when I added more leave-in, so whatever I was doing wasn’t working and my hair was telling me it was time for something new.
So, when co-wash day rolled around, I dove right into this sista’s moistureregiment. I co-washed with Garnier Fruictis Triple Nutrition and Suave Almond and Shea conditioner. I repeated the co-wash three times and on the third time, I didn’t rinse it out. To seal it, I mixed Shea butter and coconut oil together until the consistency was a little thinner than normal Shea butter, but not too oily. After my hair dried, I coated it liberally with the mix, but I didn’t saturate it. I didn’t use the Jojoba oil mix this time, because I wanted this regiment to be completely different to see what the results would be. I twisted my hair up as usually and put on my satin cap.
For this regiment, I combed and brushed my hair! I used a wide-tooth comb and a Con Air vented brush with the balls at the tips of the bristles. Although natural African hair care science doesn’t condone too much combing and brushing, a lot of sistas comb and brush on a regular basis and their hair is fine. So, with this new regiment, I combed my hair out while co-washing and brushed it after putting in the Shea butter/coconut oil seal. Again, trying something new!
I must say, my hair is so dry, I didn’t expect much difference. I actually felt my hair might be a bit too greasy and I would have to modify my hair style. LET ME TELL YOU!! When I took my twists out, I couldn’t believe it! My hair wasn’t greasy AT ALL and it was completely stretched out (shrinkage is a problem for naturals). Usually, when I take out my twists and style my hair, it poofs out into an Afro. This time, my hair laid straight down curly, as if it was being weighed down, but without the greasy, heavy feeling. I can’t believe it! My hair literally drank the Shea Butter and coconut oil seal and I think for the first time in a long time its truly happy!
I went to a festival that day and literally, the first sista I passed by stopped me to ask me about my hair – Shout Out to Lovita! – and needless to say I was a little excited to tell her all about my new conditioning method! I’ve only done it twice and my hair looks so good, I’m not worried about build up. I’ll probably shampoo my hair a couple times per month just to clarify it.
From now on, I’m going to follow natural African hair care science to the letter – Shout out to Curly Nikki! Sistas that take the time to post information about natural African hair care REALLY know what they’re talking about, just look at their hair! I had to learn that if my hair doesn’t look good, its not getting what it wants and needs and instead of figuring I know everything there is to know, I should take some advice and do something different.
