Haircut - style trendsetter, yep that's Chase

Living on a horse farm Chase gets really dirty, really fast espeacilly his hair and scalp. Below are some tips to keep your hair clean, healthy and looking good. 

You should wash your hair and scalp regularly. Make sure you are not just washing your hair but you're also cleaning your scalp, thats where your hair grows!  The best way to get your hair and scalp clean is to:

  1. Get it really wet.
  2. Use a small squirt of shampoo about the size of a quarter, thats all you need. 
  3. Massage the shampoo into your scalp but don't scrub your scalp too hard.
  4. Rinse really well, until you don't see any more bubbles on your head or going down the drain.
  5. Gently dry your hair with a towel.
  6. Comb or brush it out carefully, especially if it's curly. Don't yank or tug on it, because that can break the hair or pull it out.
  7. Let your hair air dry whenever you can. Hair blow dryers can be fun but they can dry hair out.

If your scalp is itchy, dry, and flaky, it could be because you aren't rinsing all of the shampoo out. Or it could be because you have something called dandruff. If you have dandruff, when you scratch your head, the skin flakes off and lands on your clothes. It's really noticeable if you're wearing dark colors. You can use a special shampoo that your parents can buy at the store. 

Getting a haircut can be a fun and exciting especially if you are trying out a new style. Chase likes to get his haircut at a professional barber shop, he likes the special attention he gets!

Have fun, enjoy and keep your scalp and hair clean!
