Keep Healthy Hair

White men who visited Native American tribes throughout the U.S. and Canada in the last couple of centuries had always remarked on just how fond these people, especially the men, were of their hair. In 1970 T met an Indian couple named Adolph and Carol Hungry Wolf. "Combs were not known in the Old Days, but the hair was often brushed," Adolph told me. Our ancestors also cut off a handful of horse hair from the tail end, wound it tight and then doubled it over to make a soft hair brush. We still like to brush our hair with this.


Sweet grass and common bear grass were the two most often used. They would be boiled in water, cooled downs and then rubbed into the hair every day. Such grasses leave the hair smelling sweet, almost like clover. Along more disgusting lines, they talked about the use of bear grease, buffalo dung, and deer urine for the hair, that many braves in "the Old Times" were in the habit of using in their hair. One thing which Mr. Hungry Wolf emphasized, that is worth repeating here, is "to always brush or comb your hair every day," because that seems to "keep the hair from getting old and gray and falling out."

Who wouldn't love flaunting shining and bouncy tresses that speak of good health and quality hair?

* Take care of your health: Remember that your hair reflects the health of your body. Intake of biotin, B complex, amino acids, folic acid, iron, pantothenic acid, zinc, black currant seed oil, flax seed oil, and silica are found to be good for the health of your hair. This holds true even when you are growing your hair longer. Trimming your hair regularly will keep it looking healthy and helps you steer clear of hair care headaches in the long run.

* Use proper hair care products that contain sunscreen: Take the advice of your hair care specialist while buying hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners etc that will suit your hair texture. * Choose the right comb: You should use a wide-toothed comb on your wet hair to avoid breakage.

* Finger comb your hair into a low disheveled bun.If you have oily hair squirt water at the roots. Water adds lift to the hair roots. For dry coarse hair condition the ends of your hair well every
time you wash them.

* Do not shampoo your hair everyday. Infact washing your hair once every two or three days will actually make your hair healthy. Washing your hair everyday robs hair of essential oils and dries your scalp and hair.
