For beautiful hair, you need a bit of luck but above all take care. But often in the care of our hair, we have bad reflexes that are actually cons-productive. Here are some valuable advice ...

Therefore alternating their use with that of a mild shampoo for hair and does not contain potentially aggressive, like a baby shampoo. This advice is especially true if you use a dandruff shampoo, fall, or intended for oily hair.
Standard No. 2 for the beauty of hair: Rinse Evil
It is very important to rinse her hair when washed. Indeed, the silicon content in the vast majority of shampoos and other beauty products for hair tends to weigh them down if much remains in the hair after shampooing. Furthermore, these products also increase the tendency of hair grease. So have carefully hand in your hair after rinsing your hair. If you find a place sticky or not, a little too slippery, do not have to go in the shower! Be especially careful if you use lots of different products.

We eat too soft!
We eat too soft! With changing food habits, we eat and nibble more food and sugary soft. Finally, we chew enough, leading to adverse consequences on our weight and our teeth.
Less chewed, the more you eat
When we eat soft food, chewing is unimportant. But chewing strengthens our feeling of satiety. Thus we tend to eat more food when they have a soft consistency (hamburger, for example) because they swallowed more quickly but also because the satiety signal arrives later.
Chewing too little teeth alters
In the long run, jaws working less and less and the bones are no longer stimulated. Accordingly, the teeth become less resistant.
And who says eating soft, says eating sticky, sugary and fatty foods. Result, caries and tartar grows, and the gum is assaulted.
And finally, since chewing is reduced, the production of saliva is reduced. N
ow it has a self-cleaning.
