Keep your hair healthy

January 24th, 2009

Toss those tresses and you are giving away the state of your health. Your hair is a sure fire indicator of just how healthy you are. And chances are, if you are facing a hair problem, you also have a health problem.

Abnormal hair fall, or growth, or excessive dryness of your hair and scalp and dandruff that refuses to clear, then you need to get professional help. Your condition may be more than just a bad hair day! Here are simple rules to get that gorgeous crown.

1.    Clean hair:

Basic hair care start with clean hair. Too much cleansing, however, can be damaging. The scalp produces an oily substance called sebum which coats each hair and keep it looking shiny and soft. Shampoos are designed to remove excess oil, grease and dirt and to exfoliate the skin cells which clog and suffocate the hair follicles. It is important to choose a shampoo according to your hair type.

Daily shampooing is not a problem as long as the shampoo is formulated for daily use. If your hair simply feels sweaty it is okay to simply rinse out the sweat too. Shampooing doesnot cause hair loss, nor does excess sebum clog the hair follicles.
