Every
girl has a different hair texture and hair type.
Some have dry hair, some have oily hair while some
have normal hair. Therefore each hair type has a
different treatment.
Care for oily hair:
Oily hair has a very common teenage problem because
your scalp is producing a little more sebum and
oil than it should. For oily hair care do the following:
1. Wash your hair
as often as you can and if possible everyday but
use a mild shampoo or a shampoo, which is for frequent
or daily use.
2. Avoid using
anti-dandruff shampoos, which also stimulates the
sebaceous glands to produce more sebum.
3. Try not
to brush and comb your hair a lot since both of
these activities will stimulate the sebaceous glands.
4. You don't have
to apply a conditioner for oily hair.
5. If you want to
make your hair drier then you can get it permed,
dyed or tinted.
Care for dry hair:
Dry hair needs extra care since it easily gets split
ends and looks listless. For dry hair care do the
following:
1. Always use a
good conditioner after applying shampoo and washing
your hair.
2. Let your hair
dry naturally and even if you do use a blower, dry
your hair on low heat.
3. Before shampooing
your hair apply oil thoroughly to your hair and
keep it for 1 hour and then wash.
4. Wash your hair
as infrequently as possible, perhaps once in 4 days
and use a mild shampoo.
5. Don't brush your
hair out, just comb it gently.
Dealing With Dandruff Trouble
Dandruff is a big problem and an embarrassment but
if you know your facts right about dandruff you
can deal with this problem. Dandruff is not abnormal,
nor does an infection or fungus cause it. It is
merely skin cells that are lost from the surface
of your scalp all the time and the presence of hair
blocks the dead cells from falling off. They become
piled up into thicker dead scales and this is called
dandruff. You can thus control this accumulation
of dead cells with regular, frequent washing, if
possible everyday with a mild shampoo or a shampoo
for daily use. Avoid rubbing or scratching but rinse
your hair thoroughly so that you don't leave any
shampoo behind.
Choosing a Hairstyle
Your hairstyle should be one which is easily manageable
and which will allow to be dried naturally and too
much styling. The best way to find a hairstyle is
to flip through a magazine and whichever style you
choose make sure that it suits your face and looks
realistic. For more information on hairstyle visit
