HAIR CARE

Namaskar
This is our first interaction related to health and I take strength and courage,from the almighty, to be of help to you.
We start with the Hair care. The most talked about.
Whether your hair is too thin, too thick, curly, damaged or frizzy, there is a way to fix it.
So the foremost step to start any regime for your hair is to first understand your hair type and quality.
Hair can be largely of three shapes Straight,
Wavy, Curly. But it is very important to understand the quality of your hair.

DENSITY:- Take a front section of your hair ,pull it to side

  • If you visibly see the scalp it means your hair is thin
  • If you barely see your scalp then your hair is thick
  • If it is somewhere in- between then your hair is medium in density
POROSITY: This means hair’s ability to absorb moisture. To understand put one strand of your hair in water
  • If the hair sinks , it highly porous
  • If it floats it has low porosity
  • If it floats in the middle it means it’s porosity is normal
Highly porous hair are difficult to manage.
So you pls identify your hair type first. when I give you hair care tips it will be easy for you to pick up the right one for your hair type.
Like my hair are wavy, medium dense and normal porous. Let’s see what hair type is yours

HAIR

Namaskar
From the last post you must have understood your hair type.
Today I will tell you about what is our hair and how to take care of it internally and externally.

Hair is made up by the same protein found in human skin,teeth and nails-Keratin. Hair grows about 1/2” a month and about 6” in a year. Hair grows inside the hair follicles and is living till the time they are inside. So the hair which we see on our head is non living. 80-100 strands of hair fall a day is normal.

WHAT OUR HAIR WANTS.

  • A balanced diet-compromising vit A,B, calcium,silica, iron and zinc, proteins and essential fatty acids. Bananas,beet root, almonds,walnuts, greens, lemons and Himalayan salt water covers most of the nutrients required for our hair.
  • Relaxation- your hair gets directly effected by nervous tension. Stress put the hair straight to the rest phase- causing it to shed prematurely. Therefore it is important for hair to do the breathing exercises and keep calm.
  • Sleep- Adequate sleep for 8 hours is imperative. During sleep our hair goes through a period of repair and regeneration. Hair looses its lustre and bounce without adequate sleep. Use simple eye pads to have sound sleep.
  • Regular hair care- Nurturing and a regular hair care regime is essential for healthy locks. Like oiling,washing,conditioning and drying.
So when you say I have hair fall then using just a anti hair fall shampoo won’t work. You have to care for your hair internally and externally.

A consistent effort is required to keep our locks healthy.

I’m my next post I will give recipes for different hair problems.
