1. Wash your hair on a regular basis
Washing your hair on a regular basis keeps your scalp and hair free of dirt and excess oil. However, the appropriate frequency is determined by your hair type and personal preferences. Limit your washing to twice a week if your hair is extremely dry. Washing your hair on alternate days can help if you have an oily scalp.
2. Make use of chemical-free shampoos
You can't control all of the environmental factors that harm your hair, but you can control the shampoo you use. The fewer chemicals in your shampoo, the healthier your hair. Choose gentle shampoos that are appropriate for your hair type. Shampoos contain sulphates and parabens for lathering and preserving, but they can cause skin irritation and increase the risk of hormonal disruptions over time.
3. Correctly condition
Your conditioner contains ingredients that help your hair to fall straight and be manageable. It shields your hair from environmental irritants and heat styling. However, it should only be used on the tips of your hair and not on your scalp. Also, after applying it, thoroughly rinse it off.
4. Natural Hair Drying
We are aware. Blow drying your hair makes it look as good as your on-screen idol's. However, overheating your hair can cause damage to the scalp. If you must style, keep it to important occasions only. After shampooing, air drying or towel drying is the best option. Never sleep with wet hair or comb it. Rubbing your hair with a towel too hard can damage the cuticle. Be gentle with yourself.
5. Use Proper Hair Oil
Pre-shampoo treatments such as oiling and massaging the scalp increase blood circulation, relax the muscles, increase shine, and nourish the hair. It also replenishes moisture, promotes hair growth, and repairs split ends. You can use coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, castor oil, and other similar oils. Mineral oil should not be used on your hair.
6. Make Use of a Wide-Toothed Comb
Wet hair is brittle and easily broken. Allow your hair to dry before brushing it with a wide-toothed comb. This type of comb protects your hair from damage.
7. Trim your hair on a regular basis
Split ends should be removed from your hair every 6-8 weeks. Split ends occur when the hair is damaged by heat styling, pollution, smoking, stress, and other factors. Trimming does not cause hair to grow faster. Hair grows from the scalp, but trimming ensures healthy hair.
9. Consume More Water
Internal and external hydration are essential for well-balanced and healthy hair. Even if you use hydrating hair care products and oils, drinking at least 3 litres of water daily ensures good hair health.
10. Consume Healthily
We'll keep saying "you are what you eat" as long as we write about hair and skin care. Proteins and amino acids make up your hair. It requires proper nutrition to grow and maintain itself. Some of the many great foods for healthy hair include eggs, berries, nuts, fish, green leafy vegetables, and sweet potatoes.
11. Wear hair caps or hats
The same way that sunlight harms your skin, it also harms your hair. Sun rays can strip moisture from your hair, leaving it dry, brittle, and damaged over time. When going out, wear a hat to protect your hair from the elements. When swimming in a pool, cover your hair with a cap. Chlorinated water is damaging to your hair.
12. Make use of hair bands
We like to show off our open hair, but we use hair bands to protect it from environmental aggressors. Instead of using plastic hair ties, use fabric ones. When making a ponytail or any other hairstyle, don't pull your hair too tightly.
