General Hair Care Tips:

Let us have a glimpse at the general hair care tips you should follow besides these home remedies.

Food and Hair:

  • Eat all the protein rich and nutritious food you can.
  • Vegetarians can get all the protein from pulses or supplements.
  • Ensure that you drink a lot of water at regular intervals to keep your system clean, thus helping boost hair growth.

Hair Packs:

Sun Care:

  • Make sure you wear a hat or scarf on your head in strong sun, thus helping it protect from harsh sun rays, while keeping you hydrated.

Right kind of Water to rinse the hair:

  • It also is very important to wash your hair with slightly warm water over hot water. Boiling hot water tends to snatch away possible nourishing natural skin oils, leaving the skin high and dry.

Use of Electrical Appliances for styling:

  • It also is important that you avoid the use of hair dryers, straightners and curlers, as they leave the hair dry, dull or even lifeless. Sometimes over using of these electrical appliances for styling burns the hair, which further remains difficult to repair.

Combs and Brushes:

  • It is very important to know what kind of combs and brushes are used to manage the hair. High quality combs and brushes are suggestible over low quality products as they help you massage and relax your scalp.
  • Combs would be more suggestible than brushes. However, paddle brushes available in the market are better than the other brushes.
  • Ensure that the combs and brushes you use are clean and neat.
  • Avoid sharing combs and brushes as it increases the chances of transfer of dandruff and other skin infections.

Avoid over use of chemicals:

  • It is better to avoid over use of chemical shampoos and conditioners as they also are possible ingredients that leave the hair dull and dry. Ingredients such as parabens are said to be dangerous.
  • The chemicals apart from doing no good to your hair, do no good to the environment. So its better to use products that are naturally obtained or herbal in nature.
  • We also could do a little more to yourselves and environment by using products that are free of animal testing.
