Chi Hair Products and Easy Hair Care Tips for Healthy Shiny Locks

Who doesn\’t feel better on a \’good hair day\’? Sometimes they come

right out of the blue – often just as soon as you make up your

mind to get a new cut or color because you can\’t do anything else

with it! Why is it so hard to get your hair to do what you want?

THE HISTORY OF HAIR

The mysteries of maintaining beautiful hair should have been

uncovered by now, but for many women finding a simple way to keep

their hair looking wonderful is as elusive as it was to women

centuries before.

The desire for beautiful hair is not new. Ancient Egyptians

shaved their heads and wore elaborate, heavy, braided wigs to

achieve perfection. European history also abounds with torturous

hair styles including the ornate, powdered styles wrapped around

frames and horsehair which attracted vermin. All in the name of

beauty.

Today, fashion still influences a woman\’s hairstyle but that

doesn\’t mean you have to subject your hair to needless damage.

Take advantage of the tips below on caring properly for your

hair.

WASHING AND CONDITIONING

Hair is not a living part of your body. However, your hair still

needs proper care for optimum health and beauty. One of the key

elements to having shiny, healthy hair is to allow the natural

oils in the scalp to lubricate it. The hair closest to the scalp

benefits from natural sebum oils the most while longer hair can

become dry and brittle from a lack of these oils.

Shampoo, no matter what exotic ingredients it\’s made up of,

performs a simple job of removing excess oils, pollution and

styling product build up from the hair. All of your hair needs

gentle cleansing but it is the top two or three inches that is

most weighed down with natural oils and dulling hair products.

Concentrating the washing in that area will reduce the amount of

oils removed from longer areas of hair which can be over dried

from the stripping of oils and extended contact with shampoo.

Conditioning on the other hand should be used sparingly, if at

all, on the top inches of the hair while concentrated on the

ends. Conditioning is an important step to replace needed oils

and provide protection from styling agents such as blow dryers

and irons.

STYLING

Your hair will look its most beautiful when you choose a style

that requires the least amount of heat and product damage.

Protecting your hair with conditioners is key, but choosing a

style that suits the texture of your hair will eliminate the need

for more torturous styling tools.

Frizzy and dry hair can benefit from the application of silicone

based products. Bear in mind that a little goes a long way and

concentrate the product on the ends of your hair.

When blow drying keep the blow dryer at least six inches from

your hair to prevent excessive damage from the heat. Blow drying

in the direction of the shaft (down the length of hair) will

create a smoother appearance.

COLORING and PERMING

Anytime you use chemicals in your hair you should make sure your

hair is in a healthy condition before applying the treatment.

Overuse of these treatments can damage hair beyond repair and

affect the results of the products.

CUTTING YOUR HAIR

Your hair will look shinier and feel thicker when you remove

dried and split ends. Trimming the hair every 6 to 8 weeks will

keep it looking its best.

Taking simple steps to maintain healthy hair will put you on

track to more \’good hair days\’ than you ever thought possible!
