Want your hair to look healthier?

The American Academy of Dermatology suggests how to achieve healthier locks:

• Wash oily hair more frequently.
• Wash chemically treated hair less often.
• As you age, your scalp should make less oil, so you may not need to shampoo as often.
• Watch for flakes — which may indicate dandruff or another scalp condition.
• Concentrate shampoo on the scalp instead of washing the entire length of hair.
• Use conditioner after every shampoo, or use a 2-in-1 product that cleans and conditions.
• Apply conditioner on the tips of hair.
• Choose a shampoo and conditioner formulated for your hair type.
• When swimming, wet and condition hair beforehand, or wear a tight-fitting cap.
• Use a specially formulated swimmer’s shampoo and deep conditioner after swimming to replace lost moisture.
