More about hair

  • When you take a sauna or go to the steam baths, put conditioner in your hair, the heat will help your hair to absorb it.
  • Dilute your shampoo with water (equal amounts of water and shampoo), not only is cheaper but it won't change the effectiveness of the shampoo and will also cut down on the residue buildup.
  • To prevent dandruff, use lemon use as a rinse once a week
  • Before using an anti dandruff shampoo it is good to clean your scalp with a mixture of 4 parts water 1 part mouthwash

  • That medications for ulcers, arthritis and high cholesterol could also cause sudden hair loss
