Hair Care
The structure of hair is like the scales on the skin of a fish that has overlapping scales around a central core called the cortical. Smoother overlapping more shiny and smooth the hair looks. This also leads to easy combing while a tangled or roughed-up structure makes the hair look rough and dull.
Diet and lifestyle are two major factors that influence the health of the hair. Poor diet, illness and deficiencies of any particular vitamin and mineral affects the quality of hair and problems like dandruff, thinning hair, balding, premature graying etc. spoil the hair.
In an individual the condition of the hair is a reflection of the complete constitution of him. If the person is not healthy then the health of the hair will be deplorable.
Example: If a person has vata constitution, the hairs are dark, dry, coarse, wiry or frizzy and tend to tangle easily, are prone to dullness, split ends and dandruff. The constitution comprising of Pitta has hair that is light brown, blonde or red and tend to grow gray or thin prematurely and are fine and silky with a tendency to become oily. Hairs are thick, wavy and shiny if the composition is of kapha.
Regularly cleaning and brushing the hair is very important. When the hairs are brushed, oil-producing glands in the scalp get stimulated. This natural oil makes the hair glossy and healthy. To give extra shine to the hair, after washing rinse the hair with some lemon juice mixed in a cup of warm water.

Takes more than shampoo sweetie... And as for the beer and eggs... They do make your hair smell like a drunken Irishman with a flatulence problem... Just so you know!
Genetics...Nutrition... Rest... Hydration.
Try giving up on all the shampoo claims that say you need vitamins in your Pantene to have healthy hair.
As soon as your hair grows out from the scalp, it is relatively dead... Vitamins can only be absorbed through ingestion, they don't work if you dump them on your head.
Take a hair vitamin that contains proteins and amino acids... Drink butt loads of water, eat right and get enough sleep first, Then... wash it and take care of it and pray to God that your mom didn't carry the baldness gene!
