Hair Maintenance

There are two main steps in hair maintenance:

Shampooing- Ensuring the hair is clean and shiny is the most important step in hair care. A shampoo should cleanse thoroughly without irritating or disturbing the acidity of the scalp. It is not necessary to use large quantities of the shampoo to get good results. Nor should shampooing leave the hair "squeaky clean" as this indicates that too much oil and moisture have been removed.

Conditioning- Hair that is dried after shampooing may become charged with static electricity and this makes the hair "flyaway" or difficult to manage. To overcome this use a conditioner after every shampoo. The ph balance of the hair is restored and shine and bulk is increased throughout. A conditioner will alos help smooth down the hair cuticle which is damaged and roughened by hard water and/or chemical treatments. It will also give each hair a protective coating, thus helping to protect the hair from from harmful substances and minimise water evaporation, the main cause of dryness.
