It is essential to identify the
texture of your hair whether dry, oily or balanced for a good hair care
program. Read on to identify your hair type.
Dry Hair
Dry hair is due to inactive oil
glands. It is also caused by other factors like over exposure to the sun, using
harsh shampoo and chemical treatment. Accumulated oil, block the pores not
allowing the oil to flow on to the surface. This is another reason for dry
hair. Dry hair would need plenty of nourishment.
Massage well with a warm herbal
oil at least twice a week. Follow a diet rich in zinc. Use a mild shampoo and
avoid harsh ones since the chemicals in them can strip hair of its outer
protein layer, further drying the scalp. Do not use electric curlers and hair
dryers.
Oily Hair
This is usually accompanied with
oily skin. This is due to the over secretion of oil. Hence the scalp and hair
gets too oily. Oily hair is easily recognizable. It looks greasy even after
shampooing and and attracts more dirt.
The oily hair needs to be washed
every third or fourth day or even more frequently depending on individual
comfort and rinsed out with lemon. Use oils and shampoos rich in neem and
henna. A head massage with a herbal oil helps maintain the pH level of the
scalp. Avoid oily foods and binge on green leafy vegetables and fruits.
Balanced or Normal Hair
This is the most ideal hair. It is
shining, well balanced and does not dry out. To maintain this ideal condition a
well balanced diet and proper care is essential.
