Cactus Hair Care

The hair on your head is nature’s way of keeping your head cool, and deflects heat, dust and cold from the scalp. That’s why you shear off your hair in summer, and prefer it long in winter!

Apart from that, hair on the head changes the appearance of your face. If you tie it up in a single plait down your back, with the hair pulled straight on your head, you look different. If you were to let it hang loose, brush it really well, and shape it to curve around your ears, or tuck it behind your ears, your appearance changes, generally for the better.

The appearance of anyone is enhanced if the hair is well cared for. Further it has its own use too. Hair care helps keep the scalp from drying, and flaking, which is another word for dandruff. When you come in from a hot, humid and dusty atmosphere, you should wash your hair, and allow it to dry naturally, by using a terry towel. Applying too much heat from your hair dryer causes loss of oils and water which is essential for its continued growth.

Too much use of shampoo also creates dryness. If you have dry hair, you should use pure olive oil, or coconut oil, or a herbal coconut oil. Massage it into your hair at night before going to bed, and allow the skin on the head, which contains tiny holes, called follicles, to absorb the oil, and the hair also to absorb it. Next day, just rinse your hair with water, and if you feel it is extra greasy – which it should no be since you have dry hair, a light shampoo should wash out the excess oil in the hair, leaving it shiny and radiant. Of course this won’t happen overnight, but it is recommended that you try it at least every alternate day, if not every day.

Those of you with long hair do have an extra advantage over those with short hair. You can design your own hairstyle the way you want, coiffures the way you want, piled high on your head in intricate patterns with just a flower to add to its beauty. You need to follow much the same steps outlined above. In addition, you must brush your hair every day, otherwise, it might end up in a tangle and in brushing too hard, you might get broken hair. You would need to have your hair cut in a symmetrical fashion so that you have an even look, were you to keep them loose and untied.

For those with cactus hair, there is nothing to worry about. As stated earlier, it is hair care which matters, not its way of look alone. Cactus hair is quite common, and there are various ways of keeping them in good shape, using the steps outlined above. Your beauty parlor can show you how you can shape your hair to suit your mood and match your face.

As for hair care generally, shampooing everyday is not recommended. It is enough to wash your hair clean without using shampoo, and rinse it gently by patting your hair with a soft terry towel. A number of oils, especially essential oils, are readily available in the market in the herbal oils section, which you could use without any worry about its acidity or toxicity since it is made from natural sources, and is also extracted naturally. Therefore the essential oils contain the vitamins your hair you need in its natural form. That’s good for you. Almond oil, olive oil, coconut oil, are some of the oils that are recommended for good healthy air. There are no chemicals used in herbal oils.

As mentioned earlier, you can use oil in your hair before you go to bed, and rinse it off with a light shampoo, if at all that is necessary. Generally the hair and the follicles would have absorbed most of the oil during your sleep. Using oil helps you to brush your hair easily.
