3 Basic steps for hair care

2007-02-14T10:28:00.000-08:00

Three main things are needed for a good-looking head of hair::

ADEQUATE DIET

Hair growth depends on an adequate diet. A widespread diet problem which causes loss of hair is iron deficiency Anaemia. The cause is too little iron in blood, brought on by a diet containing too little meat, eggs, cereals or peas and beans. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also needed to provide vitamin C, which enables the body to absorb iron.

CUTTING THE HAIR

Although cutting the hair is not essential to its well-being, it is easier to keep the scalp clean if the hair is kept reasonably short. Regular cutting does not make the hair grow strong or faster.

HOW HAIR CAN BE DAMAGED

Although scalp hair is hardy, and can withstand a lot of abuse, it can be damaged by too much or inexpertly applied perming, dyeing, bleaching and massage. The amount of beautying the hair can take varies from person to person. Occasionally the scalp is allergic to the dye and becomes inflamed and swollen. To prevent this occuring, the dye should be tested by applying it to a small area on the arm. If a patch of inflammation has developed, the dye must not be used on the hair.

CLEANSING

Cleansing removes the old make up and dirt that have accumulated through out the day. Here is how the face should be cleansed:

1. Remove mascara with a cotton that is dipped in eye-cleansing lotion.

2. Remove eye shadow by wiping with a cotton ball dipped in eye-cleansing lotion.

3. Pour face cleansing cream into your palm and apply generously over nose, chin, forehead and cheeks

4. Massage the cream into the skin, begin from under the throat and move to the top of your forehead with your fingertips.

5. Remove cream from face with tissue pads. Begin from under the chin, and then move to the cheek and then to the forehead.

TONING

Toners remove all the dirt, make up and cleanser that remain after cleansing:

1. Immediately after cleansing apply toner to the forehead and cheeks with a cotton pad.

2. Apply toner around the nose and chin.

MOISTURIZING

Moisturizing ensures that the skin is smooth. The skin on the face gets dry easily because of the weather. Moisturizing helps in containing the natural moisture of the skin:

1. With your fingertips dot moisturizing cream gently all over your face.

2. Gently massage the cream into your face with your fingertips. Work gently around the eyes.

3. Massage cream around the jaw line, chin and mouth with the middle finger of both hands.
