Hair Care is overall term for parts of hygiene and cosmetology
involving the hair on human head. Hair care will differ according to
one’s hair type and according to various processes that can be applied
to hair. All hair is not same; indeed, hair is a manifestation of human
diversity. Very curly hair requires unique care. Hair can be ruined if
brushed out dry.Low fat dairy products are good sources of calcium, a
key component for hair growth. A balanced diet is extremely necessary

- One way to distribute the hair’s natural oils through the hair is by
brushing with a natural bristle brush. The natural bristles effectively
move the oil from the scalp through to the hair’s mid-lengths and ends,
nourishing these parts of the hairs. Brushing the scalp stimulates the
sebaceous gland, which in term produce more sebum. When sebum and sweat
combine on the scalp surface, they help to create the acid mantle, which
is the skin’s own protective layer.
- Curly hair tends to dry out easily; leave-in conditioner can help.
Hair that is very curly often requires careful entangling .Those with
dry, curly hair should shampoo less often than those with straight hair,
or consider cleaning hair with conditioner.
- Hair coloring is the process of adding pigment to or removing
pigment from the hair shaft. Hair coloring processes may be referred to
as dyeing or bleaching, depending on whether you are adding or removing
pigment. Most permanent color changes require that the cuticle of the
hair be opened so the color change can take place within the cuticle.
- Minerals in water can also affect hair.
Calcium: causes hair to feel dry and lack shine and
volume. It can prevent the proper processing of colors, highlights,
strengtheners and can cause a perm to appear relaxed. Cilium builds up
on the scalp causing flaking on the scalp, giving the appearance of
dandruff. Calcium can choke the hair at the mouth of the follicle
causing the hair to break off, and then coat the scalp, blocking further
new hair growth.
Iron: can cause water to have a red or rusty hue.
Iron leaves hair feeling dry, brittle and weighted down .It cause lack
of shine and can cause dark hair to tint darker and blond hair to turn
orange. Iron can inhibit the proper processing perms, colors, highlights
and straightens.
