Hair is the glory of our personality. Isn’t it?  Well, no doubt, it is important! It should be essential to take some time from our priorities and give it to nourish the hairs.

We, the teenagers, working women, along with homemakers generally can’t make time to look after our hair, and obviously we think that we already got a lot to deal with, plus this hair thing also! Am I right?

As mortals, we think that our hair will grow naturally and get nourished even after we do not take care of it. No lies, I used to think so before I surfed a lot on the internet. So, I must say our hair is as important as we give preference to our skin.

Nevertheless, we can’t put a stop to environmental factors which affect the cuticles of hair such as strong sun, temperature variations, and changes in air humidity. Because of this environmental and global pollution, the hair changes its properties, such as it loses its shine and suppleness, becomes dry and brittle, and in some cases its strength is impaired. All we can do is that we can mend our hair again after being damaged, and can stop being harmed.
