I will be offering some hair management tips so that you can maintain a healthy head of hair, whether or not you are male or female:
Wet hair is more brittle than dry hair. Brushing wet hair is detrimental to your hair and may cause more breakage and loss. Freshly washed hair doesn't have your natural oils dispersed protecting themselves from damaging heat, touching or stretching. In addition, when you are getting out of the shower and your hair is all wet, don't take your towel and scrub the water out of your hair. Place the towel on your head and absorb the water as you gently press like a sponge. The scrubbing motion on wet hair is an invitation to pulling hair out of your scalp.
Don't use hot water when washing or rinsing your hair and scalp. Hot water will remove more of the natural oils that coat your hair to protect it. In addition, some people believe that hot water opens the pores and possibly allows your follicles to expand releasing more hair than necessary. Keep water closer to your body temperature and you will be fine.
Get the right shampoo and conditioner. You have to get the foundation right and the TFH line is formulated for your hair issues. If you do not want to have other people see what you are using at the fitness club or at home, get a few travel bottle containers at Wal-Mart or Target to pour your products into them. I know when I have guests stay over; I put out the "other" shampoos.
If you brush your hair, get the right brush. Buy a brush with natural bristles. When brushing, lightly sweep from the root to the tips. That will help with the proper distribution of oils. Another benefit of brushing is that it will stimulate your scalp. If your hair is long enough to tangle, work those out carefully with your fingers. Brushing through them will pull the hairs right out of the scalp. Hold the pieces that have the tangles and work with those pieces only so the rest of the hair does not get pulled and yanked.
Acquire a hair dryer. The one I use daily is a $10 travel hair dryer that shoots warm air only. I must be clear - use WARM air and not HOT. You are drying the water out of your hair; once most of the water is out, stop with the hair dryer. If your hair gets over-dry, it will become brittle. With the right product routine, it will add much, much more volume than air-drying. I would go as far as saying that it is imperative for you to use one.
