Article: There are many different kinds of shampoo on the market, but choose a shampoo that specifically contains moisturizing properties aimed at restoring dry hair. Look for shampoos that are labeled as "hydrating," "moisturizing," or "replenishing." Shampoos that contain oils hydrate hair really well. Some shampoos contain cleansing ingredients such as alcohol and sulfates that can effectively clean your hair, but can also cause your hair to dry out. Try to avoid shampoos that have sulfate ingredients or buy shampoos that specifically are labeled "sulfate free" and "alcohol free." You could also try using a gentle shampoo made for babies. Baby shampoo has a gentle formula that can cleanse your hair without washing away your natural hair oils. Frequent shampooing can wash away the natural oils from your hair that keep your strands moisturized. If you wash your hair every day, try washing your hair every other day, or even every couple of days. This will allow your hair to naturally retain its oils and stay hydrated. If you're concerned about your hair being oily looking, consider using dry shampoo in between your washes. Dry shampoo can liven up the look of your hair without having to shampoo it. Conditioning your hair after you shampoo is an easy way to add extra moisture to your hair. Conditioners, by nature, are meant to add hydration to hair, but look for conditioners that are specially formulated for dry hair. Be sure to focus adding the conditioner to the ends of your hair; the part of your hair that is most likely to be dry and damaged. Using a deep conditioner a few times a month can add even more moisture to your hair. Deep conditioners contain natural ingredients like oils but also contain man-made ingredients like proteins and polymers that help hydrate hair. Before shampooing, add a deep conditioner to your hair, and use your hands and fingertips to completely cover your hair, especially the ends. Leave the deep conditioner on your hair for at least 15 minutes, then rinse out the conditioner. Deep conditioners work especially well for adding shine to previously dull and damaged hair. A hair mask works much in the same way as a deep conditioner. The mask is used to coat the hair for a period of time, adding moisture and nutrients to your strands. Hair masks can be made out of all sorts of natural ingredients like eggs, yogurt, bananas, mayonnaise, avocado, and pumpkin, just to name a few. Coating your hair with different natural oils, butters, and teas can also help hydrate and soften hair.

Article: Place a small amount of these anti-chafing products onto your fingertips and rub them into any areas of possible chafing. You want to lightly coat the entire area, not heavy enough to go through fabric but not light enough to wear off quickly. The lubricating quality of these products will provide a protective barrier over your skin. Some people also use a thin layer of antiperspirant in the same way. Get a container of body powder and gently dust it over any skin that could chafe. The powder will help to absorb any moisture coming off of your skin. It will also create a barrier between skin-to-skin contact. However, be warned that body powder can stain and come off on clothing. This is another reason to only apply it sparingly. Chafing often occurs while exercising due to the rubbing sensation of skin against skin or fabric. Wearing clothing designed to pull wetness away from the skin will help to eliminate or reduce the severity of chafing. This is also a situation where tighter-fitting clothing may be better than loose cotton. These are lace or light-fabric bands that are held onto your upper thighs with elastic edges. They are meant to prevent chafing on the thigh and can usually be worn throughout the entire day.
