Hygiene of Hair

Similarly to the skin, the hair as well covers and provides protection to your body. The hair fragment is made up of several tubes called Keratin. Keratin is a protein which is produced by the body for its protection. Hair, as most of us know, is a dead issue and grows at the base or root of the skin, called follicles. Hair can be straight, curly or wavy, depending upon the hair follicle. It can also be dry or oily, depending upon the sebum that collects on the base of the skin, typically scalp. The sebum collects as a natural conditioner to make the hair shiny and healthy. Excess accumulation of sebum causes the hair to become oily. When sebum is naturally decreased, the hair seems to look dead and dry. Shampoos are a good means to control dry and oily hair. Keeping your scalp hair clean will ensure good hair smell and help you in avoiding future scalp related problems.
