Being Beauty Conscious: Do's and Don'ts of Hair and Nail Care

However, call it a curse of our daily, hectic lives or just sheer negligence, we unknowingly take many a missteps every day and take our beautiful body parts toward lifelessness and withering. It is time to wake up. Save your tresses and fingernails before the damage becomes impossible to mend.

What you need to stop and start doing with your mane right now:

• Never over or under shampoo:

You will you end up ruining the scalp. Too much shampooing can cause the strands to become frizzy and too little will lead to dandruff. Let an expert study the scalp. Try not to keep it oiled. If you are in the habit of using shampoo regularly, wash your tresses every alternate day. Also, if you live in a humid area, try to at least wash away the sweat every day.

• Never comb wet hair:

Water makes the strands susceptible to breakage. Let it dry before you comb it. Do not use a blow dryer or vigorously rub your mane with a towel. The best way is to dab it and let it dry naturally. Of course, you must not expose your tresses to too much sunlight; the original, rich colour might fade away. Once dried, don't tie your hair in tight braids. Let it breathe.

• Try to stay away from flat irons and harsh chemicals:

Nothing damages your mane like these products. Flat irons impart heat, which can turn the strands brittle. Chemicals will eat up the natural quality of your tresses, leaving you in woes later. If at all you wish to resort to these processes, get hold of a good hair salon in Bromleythat makes use of high quality chemicals and employs experts in this field. Also, keep your mane trimmed regularly to avoid split ends.

Things you need to stop and start doing with your fingernails:
Stop tampering with the cuticles:

Cuticles save your fingernails from microbial infections. If you remove them, you are only allowing microbes to gnaw at your fingernails. If at all you want to get rid of them, consider pushing them toward the back. Use manicure tools to keep fingernails in good shape. Always sterilise these tools before using them.
Never chew fingernails or use them as tools:

Biting nails can be harmful for health. You are ingesting dirt and contaminants that might cause a tummy upset or infection. Other than that, the smooth texture is lost when you chew fingernails. And, if it has become an addiction, consider consulting a doctor. Here's a quick tip to get rid of this bad habit: apply bitter gourd juice on your fingernails and you will never want to gnaw at them anymore.

Other than that, curb your desires to use your fingernails as mechanical tools. Stop taking out pins, opening letters and peeling off stickers with them. They will break, eventually. Also, get your fingernails occasionally manicured. A nail technician in Bromley would be perfect for this.
Never peel off polish:

You will only end up peeling off the a few layers of your fingernail, too. The luster will be lost and the nail bed will be destroyed. Always use a nail polish remover to get rid of old and cracked polish. Also, never apply polish just after you have removed it. In this way, you will be saving the sheen, which is a natural part of fingernails.

Most importantly, eat a healthy diet to keep your tresses and fingernails in good health. Drink plenty of water to keep them hydrated. Beauty does not come without extra effort from your side, and an occasional pampering session is only good. Take proper care of your mane and nails to flaunt them like the princess that you are.
