TIPS ON HEALTHY HAIR AND HOW TO KEEP IT HEALTHY by Charlene

To maintain a healthy head of hair you should keep your hair as clean as you can, but should also wash your hair at least twice a week with warm or cold water.  The most important tip is always wash your hair straight after swimming, exercising and going in the spa because when dirt and sweat build up it causes your hair to look greasy and it tangles.  You should often give your hair a conditioned treatment as this will leave your hair looking and feeling shiny and healthier.  Too much leave in conditioners and other hair products can cause a build up on the hair and make it tangle a lot faster than before.  If your hair starts to feel dry or heavy, wash it with a good shampoo and.

Before washing your hair, spray water and conditioner onto your hair and brush it from the bottom first, to the top, then gradually wet the hair down and brush gently before you completely wash your hair.  If your hair is very dry and a lot of water is added to your at once it will tangle and swell up like a sponge.  It is important to gradually wet the hair and brush it.

After you have applied the shampoo and conditioner brush thoroughly, but in one direction and rinse the hair thoroughly and towel dry.  The best way to dry your hair is to leave it to dry naturally but a low – medium heat hairdryer won’t do much damage.

Make sure you brush your hair every day and apply some leave in conditioners so that the hair is soft and moist.  Good leave in hair treatments will keep the hair from drying out.  Don’t put too much on though, as your hair will feel too heavy.

When swimming, always wear a cap to prevent too much contact with chlorine and salt water, which causes the hair to tangle and lightens any colour you may have had done to your hair.  Always wash the hair right away with shampoo and conditioner after swimming.  When going to the spa, the hair should be brushed out completely and should be wrapped in a cold wet towel.
