PARTY-PERFECT HAIR CARE TIPS
· Most good quality shampoos are safe, as they contain conditioners like hydrolyzed gelatin.
· You may shampoo daily if your hair is quite greasy.
· Excessive cleansing may lead to flyway hair due to static electricity build-up.
· Vigorous rubbing, towel drying or combing of wet hair may lead to breakage.
2. HAIR GELS, SPRAYS, MOUSSES
· They make a thin film to help in styling, increasing volume and give a wet look.
· They are generally safe, but make hair stiffer and prone to damage while combing.
3. DEPILATORY CREAMS, HAIR-REMOVING LOTIONS
· These may sometimes be irritating or foul-smelling, and less effective against darkly pigmented coarse hair.
· Laser or intense pulsed light treatments are better options for hair reduction.
4. BLEACHING
· Most bleaching agents have hydrogen peroxide, sulfates and per sulfates, and some activating agents that oxidize, soften and bleach hair.
· They are safe if one is not allergic to any of the ingredients.
5. HAIR DYES
· Most permanent hair dyes contain paraphenylenediamine, which are generally safe if you are not allergic to it.
· However, there are some hair colours which may damage the hair’s protein and make it more porous and prone to breakage.
7. HAIR OILS
· For thin hair, use rosemary oil which helps in cleansing the scalp, as thin hair attracts more dirt and impurities.
· Rosemary oil is aromatic oil that helps stimulate hair follicles, prevents premature graying and hair loss.
· Being high on calcium, vitamin B and iron, this oil also helps the hair with conditions of the scalp like dandruff, oily scalp and brittle or frizzy hair.
· For thick hair, if coarse and unmanageable, olive oil is the best remedy.
· This oil has a high level of mono-unsaturated fat, which helps in strengthening and moisturizing dry and damaged hair.
· For fine hair, use pomegranate seed oil, whose punicic acid helps to revitalize dull and dry strands of hair, besides protecting it from chemicals and environmental impurities.
· For wavy hair, use sweet almond oil which is a natural remedy for hair for ages.
· Massaging the scalp with this oil stimulates blood circulation allowing oxygen in the hair follicles, and also helps to add shine and lusture to one’s hair.
· For damaged hair, use avocado oil which is rich in amino acids and proteins, and helps deal with hair fall, dandruff and thinning hair.
