Hair is a vivid illustration of the incredible diversity of people that inhabit our planet. For example, a tuft of hair on top sumo wrestler is so closely associated with his sporting activities, which solemnly cut off when a fighter ends his career.

In Cambodia, the bride and groom traditionally make special clippers to deflect the impact of newly-weds of evil forces. In Malaysia, the law prohibited men to wear long hair, but in the Indian state of Punjab, on the contrary, the death penalty threatens a man with a short haircut neat.

For the competent and effective hair care essential correctly determine your hair type, as otherwise there is a risk to aggravate their condition. The hair is divided into normal, dry, oily and combination. Hair normal type reflects the light shimmers in the sun.

If your hair elastic, almost whipped, easy to fit and comb have a live view and retain these qualities for a few days after shampooing, then you competently and properly caring for them with suitable means to you and your hair healthy. Unfortunately, the hair without problems are rare.

Greasy hair is a characteristic dull luster, after a short time after washing stick together and start to look dirty, unkempt. Fat hair depends on the activity of the sebaceous glands of the scalp, which in turn is a purely individual and laid genetically. To some extent the amount of sebum produced depends on the type and amount of food ingested carbohydrates (primarily) and fats.

Dry hair do not reflect light, so that they look dull, lacking luster. They are easily torn, confused, difficult to comb, whipped at the ends. Often, dry hair - the result of improper care, rather than a consequence of the reduced activity of the sebaceous glands.

Hair mixed type - is usually long hair - greasy roots and dry ends due to the fact that they are insufficiently lubricated with grease throughout. The ends of the hair of this type are not getting the necessary lubrication, often flogged. They need care combined by a variety of special tools and modified diet.

As includes the correct hair care ?

From all spectrum procedures haircare washing is the most important component because intended as a hygienic and cosmetic purposes. For healthy hair, damaged and depleted, correct and timely cleaning - minimum adequate care procedure.

The question of the frequency of cleaning is solved purely individual, from daily washing of hair up to 1 times in 8-10 days. The rule here is one thing - you need to wash your hair as often as you need it. Those who daily uses the hair styling (gels, mousses, varnishes), it is recommended to wash your hair every day, because these means aggravate hair that has a bad effect on their quality.

For daily cleaning should use a mild shampoo, specifically for this purpose. Do not wash your hair too hot or too cold water: the optimal water temperature of 35-45 C. The oily hair, the cooler should be water.

In addition, do not apply shampoo to dry hair: you first need to wet hair with water, then pouring in the palm of a little bit of shampoo, rub it and slowly and gently rubbed into the scalp and hair just rinse formed foam, trying not to rub them strongly each other not to damage the hair cuticle and rod.

Lather hair should be at least doubled due to the fact that the first soaping hair removed with only a portion of dirt, dust and sebum, and the therapeutic effect of shampoo comes only at its secondary application. Do not forget that after the use of shampoos and other hair should be thoroughly rinsed with water, not allowing to remain on the surface of the elements of detergents.

It is believed that the hair is well combed before washing, combing, and will be better after. Recommended short hair comb from the roots, and long - with the ends, gradually moving to the roots. Wet hair is better not to comb, and if it is necessary, not metal combs, and plastic or wood.

Now the main thing - how to choose the right tool for washing hair.

Firstly, why for this purpose is strictly not suitable soap: it completely destroys the protective water-lipid emulsion as a film from the hair and to the scalp. Hair after such washing becomes overly dry, damaged, combed worse, become more dim.

In order not to cause such damage to the hair while still wash them from the accumulated fat, dust, otshelushivshihsya cells, and there are shampoos: they have a slightly acidic environment, natural for our skin and hair, and are noticeably softer than soap.

To select a shampoo, use a simple principle: carefully read the text on the package and use the shampoo that is designed for your hair type, and after the results are reviewed.

Positive results from the use of shampoo can be considered clean hair, their lack of fat shine after drying, good disentangling and obedient, no irritation of the scalp.
