Types of Hair
It is essential to identify the texture of your hair whether
dry, oily or balanced for a good hair care program. Read on to identify your
hair type.
Dry Hair
Dry hair is due to inactive oil glands. It is also
caused by other factors like over exposure to the sun, using harsh shampoo and
chemical treatment. Accumulated oil, block the pores not allowing the oil to
flow on to the surface. This is another reason for dry hair. Dry hair would
need plenty of nourishment.
Massage well with a warm herbal oil at least twice
a week. Follow a diet rich in zinc. Use a mild shampoo and avoid harsh ones
since the chemicals in them can strip hair of its outer protein layer, further
drying the scalp. Do not use electric curlers and hair dryers.
Oily
Hair
This is usually accompanied with oily skin.
This is due to the over secretion of oil. Hence the scalp and hair gets
too oily. Oily hair is easily recognizable. It looks greasy even after
shampooing and and attracts more dirt.
The oily hair needs to be washed every third or fourth day or even more
frequently depending on individual comfort and rinsed out with lemon. Use
oils and shampoos rich in neem and henna. A head massage with a herbal oil
helps maintain the pH level of the scalp. Avoid oily foods and binge on
green leafy vegetables and fruits.

To figure
out your hair type:
Dab a tissue on your scalp the second day after wash. If it has an
oil blot, you have normal hair. If the tissue shows nothing, it is
dry. If strands stick to each other then it is greasy hair .

Balanced or Normal Hair
This is the most ideal hair. It is shining, well
balanced and does not dry out. To maintain this ideal condition a well balanced
diet and proper care is essential.

1. Heat olive oil, cocunut oil and almond oil with a camphor ball...
2.Massage the scalp very well with the oil.
3. Use a big toothed comb to comb your hair from root to tip..
4. if possible steam you hair for 5 min.

HI, MY NAME IS NIHARIKA. I'M A MEDICAL STUDENT. MY HAIR ARE LONG, THEY TOUCH ALMOST THE POINT WHERE THE LEGS MEET THE BUTTOCKS. I HAVE CURLY HAIR AND MY HAIR THICKNESS WAS FAIRLY GOOD. NOW MY HAIR HAVE STARTED FALLING, THEREBY REDUCING THE THICKNESS OF MY HAIR. SINCE I'M A STUDENT AND HAVE LONG HAIR, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO WASH MY HAIR VERY OFTEN IN A WEEK; NEITHER CAN I WEAR A CAP TO AVOID HEAT, NOR CAN GO FOR TIME CONSUMING REMEDIES.SO PLEASE SUGGEST ME SOME MEASURES TO INCREASE THE THICKNESS AS WELL AS LENGTH OF MY HAIR. ALSO SUGGEST THE TYPE OF PRODUCTS I SHOULD USE.
