It is human nature that both male and female grow hair on other parts of the body other than the
head. With this, to become the prim and proper Filipina, shaving hair under your arms and down there regularly
helps in keeping you clean underneath. Most females grow hair extensively, making it a need to regularly
waxing or shaving hair, while most just need to have the proper amount of hair on these parts of the body.
Below are just a few of the many solutions to hair problems.
From the Book “Hair Care a Complete Solution to Your Hair Problems” by Dr. Shiv Dua, the following are
proper tips on hair care:
•Eat those food which are rich in protein, carotenes, have essential iron, silica, zinc, vitamin B, C, E and fatty
acids.
•Do not take excessive cold drinks (carbonated). This acidifies the blood and starve hair of minerals.
•Do not tie hair-bunches too tight as done in making ponytails. Extreme tightening of hair may result in hair loss.
•Good sleep, gentle brushing and gentle combing make the hair live longer.
•Keep the hair brush and combs clean. Wash them with warm water and clean them with small steel brushes
available in the market.
•Massaging of hair with oil should be done regularly after or before washing the hair. It should not be with full
palm-pressure but using the tips of the fingers, separating the hairs at places turn-by-turn and applying oil.
•Select matching products for your hair type: dry or oily.
•After washing the hair, allow it to dry up normally. Too long use of hair dryer and blowing hot air near your hair is
harmful for the hair’s health.
•Better not try bleaching, perming, curling, waving, using of heated rollers and winding etc. at home. Help of
expert professionals should be taken for these jobs.
•Excessive greasiness of hair can be removed easily by rinsing hair with
distilled water and lemon juice.
The best care of hair is really done
with the help of home remedies. Unwanted
hair does not look good, especially
when it is not only seen on the head.
Too long hair does not look proper
at all.
Hope these tips and solutions
in maintaining hair care will definitely
release the Filipina confidence!
