Can Hair Defy Old Age?

By Owen Jones


All women and a growing number of men would like shiny hair. This is because shiny hair is thought of as belonging to a healthy, vibrant person. The fact is that as we age, men's hair falls out and women's hair becomes more lifeless. So how can you get age-defying hair?

There are a few tricks of the trade, some of which are pretty obvious once you give them a bit of thought. The first and most important tip is not to more than wash your hair. Your head produces oil to protect your hair and it does that because it thinks that hair is crucial to help it control the temperature of the brain.

OK, these days we can put a hat on or put up a parasol, but it takes the body a long time to mutate. The purpose is to not wash all the oil off your hair too frequently. You need to wash the muck off your hair but not all the oil.

Therefore, massage the shampoo into your scalp and not into your hair. As the shampoo runs off your hair it will take the dirt off your hair with it but only some of the oil. This makes a big difference.

The suggestion above is the most vital piece of advice because it applies to whichever shampoo you buy, but the next bit of advice applies to what shampoo to purchase. Do not stint on shampoo if you want lovely-looking hair.

Do you remember the days when you had to wash your hair, rinse it and then put on conditioner and then rinse again? Well those actually were the good old days as far as hair is concerned..

These all-in-ones clean on the principle that the conditioner will not work in the presence of oil and the shampoo will not activate if there is no oil.

This means that on the first wash, half the shampoo is wasted, but the shampoo has to scour your hair for the second wash (conditioner) to do its job. On the second wash the conditioner does its job, but the shampoo half goes down the plughole having done nothing.

In other words, your inexpensive bottle of shampoo with conditioner costs twice as much as you paid for it, so why not buy separate shampoo and conditioner in the first instance?

The combined shampoo and conditioner is a rip off because it makes you think that you are saving time and thereby getting something for nothing. You are not and it is really scouring your hair.

The best advice you bin get for your hair is to buy a mild shampoo without conditioner. By all means purchase one that says that it is better suited to your type of hair if you like. Then do some research on your hair sort and natural colour on the Net and make your own conditioner or purchase one.

Individuals used to use vinegar, beer, dandelions and all sorts of things and one that I have recently come across is Butterfly Pea. Do not be fooled by adverts and time saving if you actually like your hair
