HAIR CARE The hair is often described as one's crowning glory. Ask anyone and they are sure to agree . . . if your hair looks good, you automatically feel good! Some appearance experts go so far as to say that the hair is the single most important factor in looking neat and well put-together. Hard-to-handle hair is the number one beauty complaint of women! Healthy hair is reflective of healthy life style habits and overall good health. Eat a well-balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get sufficient rest/sleep. Medications and health conditions can and do influence hair condition. Hair changes as the body changes. Hair growth, hair loss, and replacement are natural, normal processes throughout the life cycle. As the body ages, growth and replacement are slowed, which may give individuals the impression they are balding. Balding is a hereditary condition but can also be linked to general body health (recent surgery, diet, medications, chemotherapy, hormones, stress). Keep hair clean and shiny! Shampoos do matter, as some are harsher than others; select them carefully. Hair and scalp may not need to be washed as often as the body ages/matures, but do not neglect it. How often you wash your hair depends on the type of hair, the weather, your physical activity, and perhaps even your occupation. Properly shampoo your hair. A proper, thorough brushing should precede every shampooing. Lather well once or twice using your fingertips, not nails, to work the lather outward from the scalp. Use lukewarm (not hot) water to rinse. Rinse well! Daily shampooing will not make the hair fall out, but it can cause breakage depending on hair type. A clean scalp encourages hair growth. Dandruff shampoos can strip hair color. If using a color, select a non-alkaline shampoo. Rinse hair in lukewarm water. Hot water speeds color fading. Hair style is more critical than hair color! Keep yourself and your hair style up-to-date. Re-evaluate your hair cut and style periodically; what looked good at age 20 may not at age 40 or 60. A proper hair style as well as hair color can make you look youthful and natural. Leave long hair to the very young; long hair (below chin-length) adds years to the appearance. If you like long hair, wear it swept up in a twist or chignon--don't pull it back in a knot at the neckline! Tight ponytails and cornrow braiding over a period of time can encourage a form of hair loss. Suggestions to consider for women: Go short, perhaps very short for easy care and a bit more sophistication. Hair style should be determined with face shape, facial features, personality, and life style in mind. Avoid trendy hair styles, especially as you get older. They tend to call attention to age. Irregular, subtle, or mature facial features are softened and benefit from hair styles that are softened (curls, etc.) around the face. Try bangs or some soft wispy pieces of hair across the forehead. Consider a permanent to give hair some additional body and volume. When done by a trained stylist, todays perms are generally safe and can give a natural look.
