Whether you have long hair, short hair or very little hair, it needs care. We have hair to provide some protection for the scalp and head against the sun and a few hard knocks. It also helps to insulate us against heat and cold.
Take action:
Always keep your hair clean; try to strike a balance – too much washing can also damage hair as it washes away the oily substance that protects the hair and makes it shiny; low pH shampoos should be used by women with dry, permed, damaged or straightened hair; anti-dandruff shampoos work, but they can be fairly harsh, so they should be used in conjunction with hair conditioner; don’t brush your hair too much, as you could be making split ends worse; remember that a balanced diet containing proteins and vitamins is more important than expensive conditioners.
