Hair care is an important part of personal hygiene. When taking care of our hair, it is essential to clean the scalp, because the living parts of the hair are beneath the skin. If the scalp is not cleaned regularly, then the dead cells and other unwanted pollutants may build up on the scalp and makes the scalp a breeding station for infections. When the scalp is healthy, only then will it promote healthy hair. Other than that there are certain bacteria, like head lice, that affect the hair itself. Some other problems that affect the hair are split ends and hair breakage. Split ends occur, when the ends of the hair fibers are deprived of the natural oil. This will result in dry, brittle ends, which will ultimately lead to splitting. Hair breakage occurs due to a constant exposure to heat or other chemicals.
What is the purpose for washing our hair?
There are some special glands (sebaceous glands) in the scalp that produce the natural oil, sebum. This natural oil gives the hair moisture and shine, and protects it from being dry and flaky. But when the sebum production exceeds the limit, it may make the hair more oily and greasy, and as a result, the hair strands may stick together. So it is necessary to wash our hair regularly to remove that excess oil and dirt from the hair and scalp. If you try to remove them with water alone they will cling to the individual hairs and defeat all your efforts. So it is better to wash hair using a good shampoo. One of the most widely used shampoos is Face Doctor’s Hair & Scalp Doctor Anti Bacterial Shampoo. It promotes healthy, clean and lustrous hair on formerly itchy and flaky scalps. Also, it makes the hair fibers strong from root to tip. Additionally, its active ingredient, sea buckthorn oil provides a soothing effect to your scalp. Now in order to make our hair smooth and shiny, it is necessary to use a conditioner after shampooing. Use Hair & Scalp Doctor conditioner. It moisturizes your hair and protects it from external environmental threats like wind, heat, and dust.
Some things to remember
If we have any mineral deficiencies, they will affect our hair. So try to have a good diet, rich in protein, vegetables, vitamins, fruits and carbohydrates. Also avoid unwanted stress and smoking. They will adversely affect hair growth. Also, have a regular trimming of your hair to avoid the split ends and breakage.
