Hair Care: Learning To Love Your Locks!

By Jaime Charlies


Many people do not realize that hair care products bought on the market, can have damaging effects on your hair. Instead, to get great hair, you should use natural products which you would find at home. Products such as coconut oil, henna, lemon, shikakai and apple cider vinegar, will give you great, shiny hair. Continue on for some helpful tips that will show you how to incorporate these type of products into your hair care routine.

If you are going to be out in the sun for any amount of time you should wear a hat or scarf that is tied on your hair. If you do not want to do this you should put a leave in conditioner on your hair to protect it from the sun.

Take care of your hair when you are out under the hot summer sun. Sunshine can dry out your hair, and chlorine and salt from the ocean are even more harsh. Wear a hat when outdoors, and rinse your hair with clear water after going in a chlorinated pool or the ocean.

Make sure you are getting proper nutrition and rest. Stress, on its own, does not make your hair fall out. Normal hair loss is from 50 to 120 strands each day. Stress does, however, use up additional resources and when your body becomes deficient, hair loss can result. Resources include the B Vitamins and other important nutrients. Additionally, poor sleep over time wears down your body's adrenal system, impacting hormones, which can also trigger hair loss.

If you have got really dried out and damaged hair, try olive oil! At a time when you won't be going out, apply the oil in downward strokes to hair length and let it sit overnight. Olive oil will give your hair some much needed nutrients and restore some of that luster.

If your conditioner doesn't keep your hair as soft as it should, consider using a leave-in conditioner as well. A good leave-in conditioner can be applied right out of the shower, and will give your hair the moisture it craves. You may also want to try a deep conditioning treatment.

If you have long hair you should avoid sleeping it with in a pony tail or braid. This can cause your hair to become damaged and break off. You should either sleep with your hair loose or if you must sleep with it in a pony tail it should be a low and loose one.

To get the best looking hair possible, consider using a leave-in conditioner. These conditioners give you the amazing effects that you typically associate with normal conditioner, but the effects last all day long! You'll find leave-in conditioners at your local drug store or salon, in either, lotion or spray-on form.

As you can from the article above, many of the products on the market today can damage your hair. Rather than using these products, you can simply make something from home that will give you shiny and healthy hair. Apply the knowledge that you have learned in this article about natural hair care products and soon, you will see your hair come alive.
