After washing your hair, wipe it firmly with a soft towel. Comb your fingers throughout your hair beginning from the scalp; using the same fingers, press down on a piece of tissue. The amount of oiliness you see before you on the paper shows the telltale signs of the state of your hair.
If there are no oil spots, you have dry hair. A slight oiliness and you are one of the fortunate few to be blessed with normal hair. And if the tissue is dripping wet, then your hair definitely belongs to the oily type.
Asians normally use oil as an essential part of their hair care routine. Try it out; it works great as a massage aid.
For Dry hair: Use Coconut Oil, Liquid paraffin or castor Oil For Oily Hair: Use Mineral Oil For Normal Hair: use Coconut Oil.
Here are some great tips to get you started on attaining those sexy strands...
1. It is a good practice to wash your hair at least twice a week with a shampoo that is suitable for your hair type. 2. Avoid drying dripping wet hair with an electric hair dryer. Wipe off with a soft towel first. 3. Do not comb wet hair. 4. If you do use one, ensure it is a wide-toothed wooden comb. 5. While drying your hair, bend down and spread your hair before your face. 6. Do not go in for frequent perming, colouring and bleaching sessions. 7. There is a popular myth that 'combing back' hair while trying chignons or buns is bad; if you do it the right way and gently enough, combing back can actually be good for the scalp. 8. Avoid frequently switching between hair oils, shampoos and other personal hair care products. 9. To add natural nourishment to your hair, wash it with powdered green gram. 10. You can easily prepare your own natural conditioner by mixing egg whites with a dash of curd or yoghurt with powdered green gram. 11. Rinse your hair with the juice of a lemon in 1 litre of distilled water. 12. Another good conditioner is tea essence diluted in water. Use this once every month. 13. To avoid premature grey and dull, lifeless hair, use a parasol or wide-brimmed hat during summer. 14. Wash your hair with luke-warm water. 15. While sleeping use a medium-sized pillow. A hard, towering head rest can actually hamper with the blood glow to your head and scalp resulting in weak hair.
