Natural oils such as coconut oil, castor oil, and olive oil are some of the more commonly used oils in hair care regimes. Coconut oil works to soften hair. Often used as a natural conditioner, coconut oil helps to restore dry dead locks into healthy moisturized strands.
Castor oil is favored by both men and women. Used commonly for thickening hair, this oil also helps to restore hair that has been lost. If used on thinning or bald patches, castor oil can help initiate hair growth. Olive oil serves as an overnight conditioning treatment. This oil is used to moisturize, nourish, and bring a healthy shine to the hair. Very beneficial for the scalp as well, olive oil is one of the favored natural oils to use in American hair care regimens.
Another tip in American hair care is to get regular trims. A quick snip every three or four weeks can help hair to grow faster as well as prevent dead locks and split ends. Along with this another trick is to use DIY hair masks. Utilizing raw natural ingredients such as eggs, honey, and natural oils, these hair masks are used to nourish the hair fueling it with essential vitamins and minerals it needs to grow healthy and strong.
The last hair care tip is to deep condition. By using a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week, the hair is given loads of vitamins and minerals essential for it to grow long, healthy and strong. American hair care is a mixture of using both organic ingredients as well as chemical products. Depending on an individuals hair type one may suit them better than the other. Now let’s take a look at Korean hair care.
Hair Care Regimens In Korea
Hair routine in Korea is much like their skin routine. Intense and followed religiously. There are multiple types of hair care regimens. Whether it is simple or complex the foundation of each regimen is the same. Korean hair products contain both chemical ingredients as well as organic, similar to skin care products.

-Scalp Massage
-Healthy Diet
-Scalp Mask
-Hair Mask
Scalp massages can be done on either wet hair or dry. In-shower massages require a specialized brush that aids in blood circulation and helps to promote healthy hair growth. Also performed on dry hair, this technique can boost hair growth and also fight dandruff.
Korean diets are based around fruits, vegetables, and healthy meats. With a rather healthy lifestyle Koreans tend to have healthy glowing skin, strong nails, as well as long luscious locks. What the body intakes often shows in your physical features.
The next step is to use both a scalp and hair mask. Scalp masks are similar to scalp massages in that they help fight infections that may be present on the scalp.
