As I have explained earlier, hair reflects one's general health. Tension. overwork and iUnesscan effect your hair. Short hair is normally healthier than long hair. Breaking hair or hair which split at the ends has usually been badly treated. This may have been caused by over-exposure to sun, over-perming,amateur bleaching, too frequentand inexpert use of tints, rinses or other colourants or too mucb hair lacquer.

Begin by finding the - cause of the bad condition of your hair and correct it. A good hair conditioner available in the market will help you enormously. You may easily makea conditioner yourself. This should be used after shampoo and before the final rinse. Leave it on for five minutes, combing it through the hair repeatedly, then rinseand set. The best conditioner is massage. All the recipes given below will show better results if well massaged into the scalp.
