Hair That Defies 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 couple of tricks of the trade, some of which are pretty obvious once you give them a bit of consideration. The first and most important tip is not to over shampoo your hair. Your head creates oil to protect your hair and it does that because it thinks that hair is crucial to help it regulate the temperature of the brain.

OK, nowadays we can placed a hat on or erect a parasol, but it takes the body a long time to change. The point is to not wash all the oil off your hair too often. You want to wash the dirt off your hair but not all the oil.

Therefore, rub 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 just some of the oil. This makes a huge difference.

The tip over is the most important bit of advice because it applies to whichever shampoo you buy, but the next tip applies to what shampoo to buy. Do not stint on shampoo if you would like nice-searching hair.

Do you keep in mind the days when you had to wash your hair, rinse it and then apply conditioner and then rinse again? Well those really were the good old days as a lot as hair is involved.

These all-in-ones work on the principle that the conditioner will not work in the presence of oil and the shampoo will not work 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 two times as much as you paid for it, so why not buy different shampoo and conditioner in the first place?

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 scouring your hair.

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

People used to use vinegar, beer, dandelions and all types of items and one that I have recently come across is Butterfly Pea. Do not become guiled by adverts and time saving if you really like your hair
