How to keep your hair in good state

I read this news article from Yahoo! which I find the topic interesting. It is about bathing your hair in water and maintain hair in a good state of health. I always have this habit of washing my hair in this brand of shampoo called Pantene with the function of getting rid of dandruff. Dandruff is actually contagious, worse than ticks. Once dandruff gets into your hair, it is extremely difficult to get rid of it. The cause of spread is through contaminated combs. That is why I make an effort not to share combs with anybody. The combs must be washed at least every 2 weeks with soap and warm water with the purpose of sterilising.

EN Beauty - There are some things that we do without thinking about it. Washing our hair is one of them. But while we assume that using the latest shampoos can give us beautiful hair, it can actually be detrimental to our tresses, according to organic hairdresser Tabitha James Kraan. She believes that hair responds better when you use a cleaner product which doesn’t contain the chemicals that many shampoos today do.
“It’s become habitual to use shampoo. Hair’s like our skin, it should always have a slight sheen on it to protect it,” she explained. “Shampoo is a detergent and it’s designed to get rid of oil. It strips it away and leaves very little on the strands. The consequence of this is that we are left with hair that has lost its protective layer. Under the microscope hair looks like fish scales and they should be closed and smoothed. But shampoo lather buffs that up, so it won’t move as freely, it won’t shine and will be much more reactive to moisture. A lot of shampoos are full of silicones to combat this but it’s all completely fake.”
