With the exception of the palms and soles, all of the human body’s surface is covered in hair, which grows particularly thickly on the head, in the armpits, and close to the genital region. Your hair’s type and color are inherited, but other things like food and your general health may have an impact on how healthy it is. This PDF covers a few of the more typical issues relating to scalp health and hair development on the head.
CARE OF HAIR
Unless your hair becomes very greasy or dirty, you shouldn’t need to wash it more frequently than twice a week. If you like to wash your hair more frequently, use a gentle shampoo to avoid washing away the natural oils that your scalp creates to protect your hair. Choose an antidandruff shampoo if you have dandruff.
How to properly wash your hair
Completely wet your hair, then add a small bit of shampoo. Use your fingertips to work this softly but completely into a foam, then massage your scalp for one to two minutes. Rinse completely with warm, sterile water. Repeat this process if your hair is very dirty. You might want to use a conditioner that makes combing through your hair easier after shampooing. If you do, make sure to fully rinse it. With a towel, pat away the majority of the water. Allow your hair to finish drying naturally, if possible, then comb through any tangles with a wide-toothed comb after using your fingers to release them. Your hair may become damaged if heated rollers and hair dryers are used frequently.
