Raiza Creme Newsletter #6
This month we will talk about hair care. Basic healthy hair starts with a good diet. Sometimes loss of hair is caused by an iron deficiency. Be sure to eat enough cereal (whole grain), peas or beans. Fresh fruits and vegetable are also important for the vitamin C, which helps the body absorb iron. Hair can be damaged by too much or inexpertly applied perming, dyeing, bleaching and massage. Avoid using hair styling products with alcohol, which dries out hair. Avoid putting hair styling products directly on your scalp. If you put it on your scalp, you will clog the pores on your head.
Other hair care tips:
An all-natural way to eliminate shampoo build-up and toxins in your hair is with apple cider vinegar. Rinse your hair once a week with one cup of apple-cider vinegar.
Before entering a pool, wet your hair so your hair will soak up the initial water instead of the chlorinated water. When swimming wear a cap to protect your hair from chlorinated water. If you choose not to wear a cap, make sure you shampoo and condition your hair right after you are done swimming.
Thoroughly rinse out your hair after shampooing. Shampoo residue may dry your scalp/hair and or attract dirt. It is recommended that you only lather once to avoid drying your hair out. If you have oily hair, lathering again may stimulate your oil glands to create even more oil than normal. Try rotating the shampoo and conditioner periodically; your hair responds differently to different products. Use a conditioner after shampooing. It will moisturize your hair, give it extra protection, add shine, reduce static and make it easier to untangle. Put the conditioner in at about an inch away from the scalp. The roots of your hair contain the most oils and usually don't need the extra conditioning. Be gentle when shampooing and conditioning; remember hair is most vulnerable when wet.
Use a brush whose bristles are made from natural animal hairs. It is softer and more flexible which means less damage will be done to your hair. Hair is most fragile when it is wet so avoid brushing or combing when it's wet. Wait until your hair is almost completely dry before brushing it. Use brushes/combs with widely spaced bristles/teeth and smooth tips. Sharp toothcombs can damage your hair, cause split ends and scratch your scalp. Begin by combing your hair gently at the ends to get any tangles out and work your way up to the base of your hair.
Hot air can be damaging to your hair so when using a hair dryer use the cool setting. Don't leave the blow dryer in one spot for more than a few seconds. Keep it moving and at a good distance away (at least 12 inches) from your hair. Hair sets best as it is cooling, not when it is heated up from blow-drying. Whether using hot rollers or a blow dryer, apply hair spray after hair has cooled to maximize the style.
I hope you found these tips useful. I wish you all health and happiness.
