Hair care products FAQs

How often should I change shampoo?

The answer to this question depends a lot on other things that are going on in your environment. For example, differences in water conditions can play a large role in the kinds of shampoos that you may use. Soft water requires different kinds of shampoos that may not be best for hard water. Also, if you are taking prescription drugs, this can affect how your hair looks. If you change prescriptions, you may find that the look of your hair changes also. You may also need to change shampoos to find the shampoo that best suits your hair. The seasons of the year and the climates in which you spend your time may also require you to change shampoos for healthy hair.

I read that mayonnaise can be a good conditioner for hair. Is this true?

Well, it might make you hungry, so that may not be good. Aside from that, using mayonnaise as a conditioner is still probably not a good idea. This is one of those “home remedies” that some people swear by, but by and large not putting anything that should go in a salad on your head is probably a good rule to live by. Mayonnaise is primarily made up of vegetable oil, vinegar, eggs, and lemon juice. None of these ingredients can really help your hair. However, they can cause matting, tangles and knots. Unless you want these things, you’d be better off using a traditional conditioner. There’s a reason that you don’t find Miracle Whip in the hair care aisle at the store.

Can I do anything about my cowlick?

Aside from shaving your head, there are not a lot of options. Cowlicks grow from the follicles in the scalp and the direction cannot really be changed. One way to help tame the cowlick is to not cut your hair in that area less than two inches short. This definitely alters the way that you can style your hair, but it is one option. Another option is to have a lot of hair gel on hand. This can keep the cowlick from sticking out.
