Angeline ... What Smog Can Do
- If you move to the city, don't be surprised if you have to wash your hair more often. You can blame it on the dirt that is in the air. And then there is the pollution that affects the hair's acid balance. To keep your hair in the best condition, choose a shampoo that is ph balanced and mild to compensate for the more frequent washing.
- So how much damage can a little pollution do to your hair? You would be surprised. Just for a moment, think about the chemicals and pollutants that are drifting on summer breezes. They tend to stick and that doesn't make for shiny, healthy looking hair.
- While on the topic, consider what your hair goes through when you spend a few hours in a club. Cigarette smoke not only sticks to the hair, it makes it smell awful and it stains it yellow!
- To help your hair look its best during the summer months, treat your scalp to a pre-shampoo scalp massage. A little warm olive oil can make a world of difference to dull, lifeless tresses. Warm oil can work wonders on limp lifeless hair.
- Whenever possible, protect your hair by wearing a hat, or even better, a golf umbrella will protect hair from over-exposure to the sun, wind and air pollution.
