Water Hazards

While swimming it is important to prevent the hair from the severe effects of the chlorine compounded by the effects of the sun, by wearing a cap, silicone caps are best as they don’t pull despite wearing a cap, the hair tends to get wet, so washing and conditioning the hair after every swim is necessary. Don’t hesitate to wash hair whenever it gets dirty, even if it means doing it everyday. Use a mild shampoo and condition the hair each time.

ON THE DIET

No amount of care will make a difference until your kid’s diet is healthy. Plenty of proteins and carbohydrates should be present in the food. Fresh fruits, vegetables and milk all contribute to good health, which is reflected by the skin and hair. Your child should avoid very greasy food, too many sweets, and refined carbohydrates. And she should drink plenty of water.

BRUSH WITH CARE

Wet hair is extremely weak and breaks very easily, so use a wide toothed comb to untangle hair.

Never use a brush on wet hair. Don’t forget to wash the combs and brushes every few days, or else the dirt and oils that accumulate on them will get back into the hair. Allow the hair to dry naturally as a hair dryer tends to dry out the hair from within and the hair gets brittle. If the hair is long, keep it loosely tied during the night to prevent it from getting knotted.

None of the care suggested should take up much time, effort or money. Use mild products, which contain the required ingredients. You can also use ingredients from your kitchen.
