Healthy Hair and Scalp

Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp and good nutrition. Eat two to three servings of protein daily to maintain normal hair growth. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your scalp from sunburn and sun damage. Treat your hair gently by using wide-toothed combs and brushes with smooth tips. After shampooing, use a cream rinse or conditioner, and towel-dry wet hair lightly to avoid breakage. Dont rely on ponytails or braids, which tug on hair constantly and can cause hair loss. Limit your use of heat-styling appliances such as hair dryers and curling irons, as well as chemical treatments such as dyeing.
