Combination Hair

A beauty tip on how to take care if you have combination hair

You will find a lot of different varieties of hair on different people. Some people have thick hair; some have fine hair. Some have curly hair; some others have straight hair. Some are blessed with really oily hair due to more production and accumulation of Sebum; some others have really dry hair. Sebum is the natural oil released by our skin. You need to follow different routines to take care of each kind of hair.

How do you take care of your hair if it is a combination type? How will you handle your hair if it is very oily at the roots and if they tend to get dry and brittle at the tips? How is it possible to handle this situation?

There are multiple methods to take care of this problem as well. All you need to do is use the correct beauty products at the appropriate levels and at the right intervals. Thus you will be able to protect the beauty of your hair and keep it strong and healthy. Now what are the methods involved in taking care of combination hair?

First step is washing the hair the proper way. Do not use hot water to make your hair wet in order to shampoo. As hair is damaged at extremely high heat, hot water is going to mess up your hair. The better choice would be lukewarm water.

Pick up the right hair products for your hair. When you have combination hair, never use shampoo specifically for oily hair. This will really damage the dry end areas of your hair. Shampoos for regular or normal hair is the appropriate kind.

Only use sufficient shampoo for the purpose. A quarter size of shampoo is enough to do the job. You need to apply the shampoo straight on to your scalp and let the suds travel to the tip of your hair. The essential oil on the tip of the hair will be lost if you apply shampoo directly on to the tip of the hair.

In case you have to apply shampoo on the tips, just grab some suds from the top of your head and put it to work to wash the hair ends. Never try to clean the hair ends too much. Make sure all of the shampoo is fully washed off and their is no more slippery feeling on your hair.

You need to use a rinse off conditioner after shampooing your hair. Applying the conditioner is done in the opposite way as that of shampoo. You should not apply the conditioner on to the scalp as this will result in the moisturizing agents in the conditioner making the scalp too oily. Apply the conditioner on to the tips of your hair and do a thorough washing with cold water to hold the moisture and to prevent your skin from releasing too much oil.

Undergoing a deep conditioning treatment once every week will be good for the added TLC for your combination hair. Use some good moisturizing conditioner on the drier parts of your hair and wrap your head up in a bath towel and wait for at least two hours before you rinse it all off. Olive oil will give the same effect as the moisturizing conditioner and could be used in place. Do a hair cut to get rid of the damaged hair tips every two months or so.

Finding out that you have combination hair is not the end of the road for you. If you know how proper care can be done for your hair, then it is quite a manageable problem.
