Hair Care Tips

  • Brush your hair on a regular basis before going to bed every night.
  • Never brush wet hair. This might cause the hair to stretch and thereby break off. Dry it with your fingers or try using a wide-toothed comb in substitute of a brush to remove the knots smoothly.
  • Always use a mild shampoo while washing your hair. The quantum should be very little but adequate enough to cover the hair entirely with lather. Don't forget to use a conditioner to keep the hair manageable.
  • Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.
  • Never use dyes. Try using mehndi (henna) as a conditioner and a coloring agent as well.
  • Go in for a calcium supplement or else try to have two glasses of milk in a day.
  • Always hold hair dryer away from your hair. Direct air from the hair dryer down hair shaft and not directly into the roots and keep it moving.
  • After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead comb hair gently.
  • Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid split ends.
  • Avoid pulling back your hair tightly.
  • Never use a rubber band on your hair as it can pull and damage hair considerably.
  • Never go out in the sun without having your head covered.
  • Stimulate circulation by massaging your head with oil to which some vitamin E has been added. This will make hair soft and silky.
  • Never wash your hair with very hot or very cold water.
  • Learn to relax. Hair loss can happen because of stress. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B, C and E.
  • Add iron and minerals in the natural form in your diet.
  • If your hair is oily, cut down on fried food and fat. Drink plenty of water.
