7. Choosing the right product for your hair

There are many products available in the market to help us take better care of our hair. Products designed for specific problems or to just help us a little every day. There are shampoos and tonics, conditioners and serums, dyes and oils. And the choice is overwhelmingly huge in number.    What helps us decide what product to choose over the others and which one is perfectly in sync with our hair type and its requirements?  Though using a lot of chemicals in general can be very harmful to the quality of one’s hair, there are some chemicals which are more harmful than the other while others actually do help us out.    For adding shine to fine hair look for a shampoo with wheat proteins and polymers as ingredients. Normal hair people should use more shampoos with silk amino acids. It helps by adding softness to the hair and repairs hair structure. Lecithin is known to restore hair texture. Pomades can help people with dry and coarse hair in taming their mane while lending it a beautiful texture and shine.   As far as oils are concerned look for products with maximum amount of natural extracts. Oil gets absorbed into the scalp. The more chemicals it is composed of the more harm it will do rather than helping out. It is often most advisable to use natural oils directly than any man made products for regular oiling.   In an anti dandruff shampoo look for the following ingredients as active ingredients - zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid or ketoconazole.    Prolonged use gets the scalp used to products so it is important to rotate products every month or so.
