Beautiful Hair

I went on perming and regular colorings resulted my hair went coarse, dry & brittle. Many of my friends advised to sign up on a regular hair treatment course in saloon but I don't believed in paying premium price to maintain a healthy looking hair. Plus, I  am quite skeptical towards chemically made products could keep healthy hair in the long run.


Said is easy than done, getting the right products is always a challenge. Many affordable one  reverted to original state (problem) after few time of using - as frizzy, dry, brittle & worst more dandruff. Thus to drive the sales, new ingridients were introduced overtime, again the result doesn't last. Even my mom knows this is mere marketing gimmick. AHA ><''.


So where do I get good beautiful hair solution yet keeping my dollar spent minimum and reaching the result I wanted - Moisturize, strong & smooth looking hair? Following rules apply:

1. Shampoo your SCULP not hair. Do it once a day or alternate day

2. Condition your hair- half lengh from ends each time washing your hair

3. Keep a dandruff -Free sculp

4. Practise deep treament once a month
5. Go on at least once every three months trimming
6. Know your hair texture. Layered don't go well with coarse texture
7. Get a hair style which suits your life style. Perming doesn't get along with those doesn't have time in treating their hair, as it requires more attention
8. Don't blow dry your hair

After stumbled on many hair solution/produdcts in the market, below are my findings:

1. Choose sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)-FREE shampoo, need not expensive, this is can be found off the shelve product. i.e. Bawang 霸王。 A herbs based shampoo.

2. Get any off the shelve hair conditioner, need not professional saloon product. Remember shampoo cleanse your sculp and conditioner condition your hair, most of the time you need only condition half a lengh from the end.

3. By using SLS FREED shampoo, you get less danruff. I don't believe in dandruff control shampoo, as it only promote controlling instead of cure the roots. So why no SLS? simple, it dries up your sculp, thus danruff. and Dandruff affect health of your hair, so keeping healthy sculp is the way to beautiful hair.
(Dandruff derived from other factors as well. i.e. Stress, insufficient sleep, unbalance diet etc.)

4. Use any Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), something you need to invest. It's pure and proven treament to keep your hair moisturize thus healthy. Towel your hair with EVOO for at least 30 mins. EVOO isn't oily as you perceived, it's actually feel like water on your hand and it emits natural olive aroma after applying.
 (You can apply this in your daily diet i.e. greens, pasta etc.)

Above-all, sleep well, balance diet, be happy at all the time, smile is the natural source of living, drinks plenty of water, 2-4 litres apply. My regime is promoting cure from the root, good foundation keep your hair strong with any other products. So leading healthy lifestyle, balance diet plus natural ingredient keep you away from expensive treatment cost and premium hair solutions.

 Before beautiful hair regime, hair looks dry

After, it's softer and smoother, right? ;)

Updates:

I received feedback asking how to keep my daily washing routine as drying hair is challenging. Essentially I don't have special magic to it, usually I just

a) Squeeze and pull the water down from the hair after the fresh rinse
b) Towel dry the hair vertically then any direction
c) Comb the hair with big loose comb you get more water dripping down at this moment
d) Towel dry again at vertical direction
e) Tower dry 2-3 times again as the water will keep dripping

Most people has misperceptions on rough brushing as it would only trap more water within strands since it got tangled, it also damage the hair even more as damp hair is exceptional weak when cuticle are opens.

So by following these five steps you hair would dry up to 60-70% within 30 mins.

Above-all are my experience it may be varied due to different hair texture etc. However you may try and feedback to me.
