Factors affecting how to care for hair

Before we talk about the hair care routine, we must know the factors affecting how to care for hair to choose the right ways to care for it. These factors include the following:

Hair texture and type: whether it is smooth (smooth), wavy, or curly, as each type has pros and cons; straight hair appears more oily than other types, but it needs less styling.

Dyed or chemically treated hair: The presence of chemicals on the hair requires a special routine for it, in terms of the frequency of washing or additional nutrition.

The nature of the preferred hair styling style: Each hair style has a styling that suits it, as the style of combing straight, straight hair differs from the style of combing wavy hair.

Having some problems with the hair and scalp: such as dandruff, frizz, dry strands, and other problems.

Basic rules for hair care

Although each person needs a special routine for their hair, there are some basic rules common to all methods used to care for hair, including:

Washing hair with shampoo and conditioner: Washing hair with shampoo helps clean the scalp, and it is necessary to know the appropriate amount of shampoo to use depending on the length of the hair; because excessive use of shampoo makes the hair dry because it causes the removal of all the essential oils responsible for maintaining hair hydration, and the number of times to wash the hair varies based on its texture, but once or twice a week is ideal for most people.

As for using conditioner, it is necessary to moisturize the hair using conditioner after shampoo; to activate and moisturize the hair strands, and it is recommended to dry wet hair with a clean towel before applying conditioner and then apply the conditioner with a special focus on the ends of the hair and not the roots.

Use warm water, not hot: Washing your hair with hot water can dry it out, and the color can fade quickly if it is dyed. Rinsing your hair with hot water also strips away essential oils and moisture, so it is best to rinse it with cold or lukewarm water.

Leave your hair a little loose: Ponytails and braids when they are too tight can break your hair and damage your roots, so it is recommended to leave your hair loose every night. Tying your hair up can also cause it to break and fall out, as tying your hair up tightly can pull out and break your hair roots.

Massage your scalp frequently: It is recommended to massage your hair regularly to promote hair growth and stimulate blood circulation.Avoid using tools that expose your hair to heat: Exposing your hair to heat can damage it, make it

suitable for your hair type to prevent accidental hair loss. It is preferable to style your hair with a wide-toothed wooden comb to maintain its health and reduce hair loss or breakage.

Wet hair should be combed carefully because it is very weak compared to dry hair. It is preferable to comb your hair twice a day, starting from the bottom of the hair and then the top.

Ensure that your hair is cut regularly: It is recommended to cut short hair every 4-8 weeks, and cut 

medium to long hair every 6-12 weeks. It may seem counterintuitive, but regular haircuts help remove 

damaged hair and split ends, which promotes hair growth from the roots and makes the hair softer, thus preventing hair breakage and helping hair growth.

Wearing a hair cover when leaving the house: Sun rays cause damage to the hair, and direct and 

continuous exposure to them leads to hair breakage, and the accumulation of dirt and dust on the scalp 

leads to its dirtiness, and thus washing it many times more than it should, which leads to damage to the hair in the long run.

Hair treatment: Hair is treated topically to get rid of a specific annoying problem. The problem of frizzy hair can be solved by therapeutic protein, and very dry scalp can be treated by applying special topical nutrients for this purpose.

Eating a healthy diet: Eating a healthy diet is the most effective and important way to maintain healthy hair, as it is recommended to drink plenty of water daily to maintain hair moisture, and vitamins, protein and iron found in some foods are very
