SHAMPOOING/CLEANING

The purpose of shampooing is to remove any dirt or impurities from hair making them clean and tidy. One important aspect is to select a shampoo that suits your hair type. A wrong product may have detrimental effect on your hair.

HOW TO SHAMPOO? Moisten your hair using lukewarm water; never use too hot or too cold water. Even hard water is not recommended, it will tangle the hairs. Now, put some shampoo on your palm, rub and apply on your scalp. Using your fingers, massage on your scalp. Never use your nails, It can injure your scalp and damage the hair roots. Now progress to the hair ends, so that any impurities can be completely removed. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Repeat the procedure if required.

CONDITIONING
Conditioning is an important aspect of routine hair care. Nearly all hair types require conditioning at least to some extent. It contributes to hair care by,

• Adding volume to hairs, as they coat the hair shafts.
• Helping to untangle the hairs, thus preventing their breakage.
• Deep conditioners add to the natural oil supply and gives dry hair, shine as well as bounce and strength.
• Creamy conditioners make the hair shinning and soft.
• Helps to correct the effects of poor hair care.

PROPER BRUSHING HAIR
Brushing hairs help us in several ways,

• Help us to untangle hairs;
• Prevents hair breakage and split ends;
• Helps in keeping hair naturally moisturized as this transfer natural skin oil from the roots to the tips of the hair.

To help your hair grow healthy and shiny, you should brush your hair every day with careful gentle strokes that decrease the friction and smooth the hair scales. Harsh and improper brushing cannot only hurt the scalp but can also lead to breakage and falling hair. Use only brushes that have good quality material, these are very gentle on the scalp and rarely cause tangles. Brush from the nape of the neck to the head then all the way to the ends of the hair strands. Repeat this in the hairline areas.
Another reminder is to never brush your hair when it is wet. Use comb, a large-tooth comb to manage the hair when you have just finished showering.When combing, it is good to separate the hair in several sections. Work from the roots downward. Be careful not to scrape the comb on the scalp as this can lead to irritation and sometimes wounds.

MASSAGING Massaging the scalp helps keep your hair healthy and can also promote hair growth. Just as body massage relaxes you and is one of the most effective ways to ease your tension and pain, massaging your scalp is also beneficial because it is extremely relaxing, calming, and helps relieve headaches and migraines. It stimulates the blood flow thereby nourishing the hair follicles, which in turn prevents and fights avoidable hair loss, and re-establishes the natural development of healthy hair.
