Straight hair is an asset that not many possess. Keeping the texture healthy and beautiful is an asset you have to acquire and retain. Dull and thinning hair is often a cause of improper diet, environmental changes like water for washing hair, pollution and stress. A proper diet that includes a healthy intake of protein and calcium rich foods improves the texture of your hair. Beans, yogurt, almonds, vitamin B and fish provide high nutrition for hair. If you are a vegetarian, you can substitute fish for tofu. Always drink 6-8 full glasses of water, as it is the best cleanser to remove all toxins from the body.
Dull hair is also due to damage from the prolonged use of some types of shampoo. Change your shampoo to something mild and herbal, which is gentle enough to use every day. Warm water should always be used at the time of shampooing hair. Condition your hair using the fingers while applying a conditioner instead of a comb, as the hair follicles tend to be weak and damage the roots, causing hair to fall off. Apply hair oil at least twice a week using the hot turban therapy. Coconut oil, olive oil and almond oil are all beneficial for promoting hair growth and keeping it healthy. Apply hair on to the scalp using a cotton swab for easier application. Massage softly and gently by moving the fingers over the scalp with medium pressure. Extra hair condiments like henna, which can be mixed with one egg, to promote lustrous hair due to the high protein content. Soak henna powder mixed with water and one egg overnight in an iron container. Apply the paste next day. Care must be taken to apply oil before henna application; as in some cases, henna causes the hair to become dry. Wash off the mix after one hour. Get plenty of exercise as it releases oxygen into the bloodstream and improves circulation.
Avoid chemicals in your hair, especially hair color, dryers and other gadgets that rob hair of their moisture. Keep yourself stress-free and happy. Add the bounce to your step and your hair will be back and bouncing like never before. You can also try slightly different oil that is not commonly used, and that is castor oil. This oil is very rich in essential fatty acids, which is a major component of the natural hair care oil.
