Read - Improper Hair Care

      When you don't take care of something appropriately, it will soon go bad. The same is true for your hair too. If you don't give your hair the individual attention that it needs it will soon lead to damaged hair and possibly hair loss. In today's world no one has the time to spend on their hair making sure that every strand is healthy but we really have no other choice because if we don't take care of it now it will catch up with us later on in life.

      What causes damage to your hair? There are several different factors that contribute to hair loss and damage; hair style, perms, highlights, hot oil treatments, poor hygiene, and more. Each one of these factors can ruin your hair and may cause permanent damage. For example, hot oil treatments are great for those who suffer from dry hair and scalp but did you know that hot oil treatments can cause the hair follicle to become inflamed which can cause scarring and permanent hair loss? Putting your child's hair up in piggy tails is great but did you know that pulling their hair too tight will cause hair loss? It can scar the scalp and permanently damage the hair follicles which will block the hair from growing forever.

      The brushes that you use may also damage your hair. Not everyone has the same texture hair so when you brush your hair with a flair styler brush it may leave your hair frizzy or pull at the ends causing tangles or even dead ends that will split. If you use a cushion brush you will find that if your hair is healthy you will not notice the static or the frizzy. The vent brush is good to use as well if you don't have too many split ends. If you do have split ends it may cause more damage to the hair at the end which will result in frizzy and unmanageable hair. Combs are good to use as well as long as the hair is not damaged too much.

      In order to take care of your hair you may need to use a more natural approach to avoid follicle inflammation or damaged hair and scalp. You can use such things as lemons for hair highlights, olive oil for moisture, aloe vera for a conditioning. You can purchase all the pure natural products at any health food store.
