Care of your hair

Shiny, clean-looking hair adds to your good looks. It shows the condition of your health. Poor health, lack of rest, or poor food can make your hair look dull. But more often, dull hair is due to lack of care. You can add to the luster of your hair by shampooing it often. Brushing will also add to its beauty.

Shampoo

The base of any good hair style is a good shampoo. There is no set time for a shampoo. Shampoo your hair when it is soiled. You may want to shampoo it every five days if your hair is oily. Every week may be often enough if it is dry.

Use plenty of warm water and a good shampoo when you wash your hair. Shampoos are made for oily, normal, and dry hair. Ask the beautician which one is best for your hair. Rinse thoroughly to remove the shampoo and to add luster to your hair.

Style

Since your hair is a frame for your face, a nice arrangement adds to your good looks. Hair worn in a simple style is easy to manage. Good hair styling is important. If your hair is shaped properly, it will take the shape of the cut. Your hair styling will then be beautiful and becoming.

Here is a trick for finding your hair style. When your hair is wet, mold it around your face and try several parts. Try curving your part. It is more interesting than a straight one. Always bring out your beauty spots. If you have a beautiful hair line, display it.

Hair is styled for the individual. Try new hair styles. There are many designed for girls your age.

Brush and comb

Brush your hair regularly with a boar-bristle brush for stimulation and to cleanse your hair. Brush your hair carefully. Too vigorous brushing may break the ends of your hair. The same is true of combing.

Set your hair in pincurls as often as is necessary to have your hair look well-groomed. Comb your hair thoroughly when it is dry. Set the waves or curls by combing through the hair slowly. This gives you control of your hair.
