Hair Care Tips

Hair that is well cared for not only looks better, but it also makes you feel more confident and ready to face the day. We've mastered the science of hair care, so we've broken it down into six simple, easy-to-follow healthy-hair suggestions.

1. Brush your hair and wash it regularly

   According to experts a lot of people over-shampoo or shampoo their hair wrongly. The following are some general guidelines:

   • You should only wash your hair once a day.
   • Use only enough product to completely coat your hair.
   • Use water that is neither too hot nor too chilly.
   • When hair is wet, treat it tenderly because it is three times more prone to breaking. Wet hair should not be rubbed excessively with a towel. Detangle with a wide-tooth comb, but don't comb too much or brush wet hair.

2. Omega is great for your hair

   Increasing your omega-3 fatty acid intake can help to stimulate hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It shall improve the health of your scalp.

   Some excellent resources include:

   • yoghurt
   • flax seeds
   • salad
   • cereal
   • cottage cheese

3. Increase your protein intake

   Hair and scalp health is influenced by a well-balanced diet. Protein is the primary component of hair, therefore eat at least 45 grams of protein every day.

   The following are some excellent resources:

   • low-fat dairy items
   • lean meat
   • poultry fish
   • beans
   • eggs

   Note: Inadequate protein diets can cause hair to become weak and brittle, as well as colour loss and hair loss.

4. It's all about the zinc in your diet

   Hair loss can be caused by a zinc deficiency. To help with shedding, include nuts like Brazil nuts, walnuts, pecans, cashews, and almonds in your diet.

   Maintain a diet containing:

   • clean filtered water
   • vegetables
   • leafy green salads
   • fruits
   • Multivitamin or zinc supplements

   There are differing views on how often you should shampoo your hair. It all boils down to personal preference and needs, which are determined by:

5. Know your hair's texture and type:

   People with oily hair, for example, may require daily shampooing, whilst others with dry hair may require less regular shampooing.

6. Select the appropriate shampoo!

   Hair damage can be caused by using the improper shampoo and style agent. Look for products that are suitable for your hair type — oily, normal, or dry — and that address any issues you may be experiencing, such as dandruff.

   Avoid shampoos that include harsh chemicals like ammonium lauryl sulphate or sodium lauryl sulphate. Also, keep in mind that a product's price does not always imply its quality.
