Hair
plays an important role in making a person look
attractive. Hence it is important to take good
care of it. In order to do so correctly, it’s
important to know your hair type, whether it’s
dry, oil, mixed condition or normal. However,
the quality of hair can change with the seasons,
which is why it should be evaluated regularly.
Oily
hair almost always goes with an oily skin and
frequently with fine hair. It is easily recognizable
because it becomes lank and greasy soon after
shampooing.
Tips for Oily Hair
Caring
for Oily Hair
Keep
the scalp clean, and shampoo it frequently.
As long as the hair and scalp are washed gently
– not scrubbed or over massaged, there
should be no problem. The hair should be rinsed
very thoroughly with cold water. Provided you
use SIDR shampoo for Greasy Hair, it doesn’t
matter if your hair is washed as often as twice
a day.
Oily
hair should be brushed and combed only when
necessary for two reasons: because it stimulates
the sebaceous glands, making the hair greasier
and because it spreads the greasiness all over
the scalp.
You
are lucky if this is your natural hair type.
The hair has a natural sheen and is easy to
maintain and manage. Healthy normal hair reflects
a healthy body and healthy skin.
Caring
for Normal Hair
Use
a mild shampoo such as SIDR for Normal Hair
as often as needed. The hair should always be
conditioned and rinsed thoroughly. If the hair
has been exposed to any stressful factors like
sun and wind or a long course of medication,
the hair should be given a deep conditioning
treatment.
Dry
hair occurs when too little oil is secreted
by the sebaceous glands or when the hair shaft
is damaged due to frequent exposure to wind,
sun, salt or chlorine filled water; all of which
cause the natural moisture to evaporate. Most
people with permanently dry hair usually have
a dry skin too. But more often, dry hair is
caused by improper hair care and grooming, such
as the excessive use of blow dryers. Severe
dandruff, as well as chemicals can also lead
to dry hair. Dry hair is rough to the touch,
full of static and lacking in lustre. It gets
easily tangled and is hard to comb, leading
to split ends. In severe cases, it may even
become almost straw-like in appearance.
Caring
for Dry Hair
Keep the scalp clean by using SIDR shampoo for
Dry Hair regularly. Most people believe that
shampoos strip hair of the natural oils and
dry the hair even further. This is not true.
Massage the scalp gently with the fingertips
- this stimulates the sebaceous glands
