You can never know if you will have a problem of these, when you are young the hair seems to have such a beauty and it grows even though you do not want it, that is marvelous but then you grow up and the hair is not as it use to be? that is very sad let me tell you
I’ve heard that exposure to the sun can damage hair. I wear a hat every time I work in the garden, and not only does it protect my hair, but it protects my skin too. I’m thinking of starting to make my own shampoo too, to avoid exposure to all those chemicals. But from reading this article is sounds like washing your hair every day isn’t such a bad thing!
