There are few things in your life that you will have from the time you are born till when you die. Hopefully your hair can be one of those things you keep forever. Hair can be unmanageable, fragile, and very delicate. You need to take care of it everyday to keep it as shiny, and beautiful as possible.
The first thing you need to know if whether your hair is normal, oily, or dry. This makes a huge difference in the type of shampoo and conditioner you use, which is the start to beautiful, and full hair. Stress, types of food you eat, and hormones can change your type of hair frequently, so it is best to keep in mind these factors when washing your hair.
If you have very oily hair, it doesn't mean that you should scrub it harder or wash it more. It won't take the oil out of your hair, because that oil is caused by sebaceous glands that are aggravated by the aforementioned reasons. Oily hair should be washed at least 3 times a week with shampoo specially designed for oily hair such as lemon shampoo, which gives you a great shine. Conditioning should only be done twice a month, unless your hair is chemically treated, then it should be done every time you shampoo. If your hair is dry then you should wash it only twice a week with shampoo and conditioner made for dry hair such as an egg or herbal shampoo. Your ends are the driest, and therefore more susceptible to breaking so pay special attention to conditioning the ends. Having an oil treatment twice a week will keep it looking more healthy and not as dry and flaky. Normal hair is relatively easy to take care of with shampoo. You should use a mild shampoo and conditioner twice a week. Lightly towel drying your hair before blow-drying can help from keeping your hair from becoming damaged due to the high heat.
For some hair conditioners you can make a home recipe that works just as well as the store bought ones. Adding milk, water, 1-2 egg yolks to henna, which conditions your hair. This is made for dry hair in order to keep it soft and manageable by applying it monthly. For normal or oily hair, add water, lemon, and egg yolks to henna and apply twice a week. To give your hair a bright shine, you can take ½ bucket of water and add ¼ cup vinegar to it and keep it on for an hour.
There are some things that people do to their hair on a daily basis that just shouldn't be done. Tugging on your hair with your hairbrush is the most common occurrence. If you have a tangle, use your fingers to separate it before taking a hairbrush or comb to it. This will break even the strongest hair, and weaken it over time. Worse yet, it could pull out your hair in clumps, and although you may have a full head of hair, you don't want any chance of bald spots later in life. Do not use elastic bands to hold up your hair, it is incredibly hard to get them out, again leading to hair breakage. Don't chew on your hair, especially the ends. The ends are delicate enough without you causing split ends with your teeth. Most importantly, keep the hair dryer at least 5 inches from your hair so the high heat doesn't damage the hair. Following all of these tips should allow you a very long life with your gorgeous, healthy hair
