Hair Care: You Are Doing It Wrong!

Hie Lovelies,

I have a very important and interesting topic for you today. Everybody wants Beautiful, long, lustrous, shiny hair. But it is very difficult to achieve.

Right???

NO..

Beautiful hair is actually very easy to achieve.

Here are some few easy peas steps that I have gathered for you from my Own experience.

But first, here are the before And after pictures I want to share with the readers so that you can believe that you can achieve the same to.

Now coming back to the topic Here are some few steps that we do every day but in a wrong way.

1 . Hair oiling- Everybody gives the advice to oil our hair because it is good for hair, This and that but most of us are doing it in a wrong way.

If you put oil in hair and let it be there for 2-3 days you are actually making your hair prone to breakage and you are suffocating your hair roots.

You are supposed to put oil in hair and massage it very softly with Finger Tips (never massage your scalp with nails). And leave it on for 2 Hours to Overnight. But make sure you wash it next day.

Reason- When you have oil in your hair, dirt and debris is more likely to get attracted towards your hair which in result make the hair week and clogs your scalp pores from where hair grows.

So, Never Go out with oil in hair.

2. Shampoo- We think that using same shampoo will make our hair great and help us for better hair. NO, it will make your hair dry and rough after certain period of time.

The right thing is you should keep on changing the brands or variants of the shampoo.

Same applies for conditioner also.

But after a period of time you can get back to the same shampoo. The Idea is to Inter switch the shampoo.

Reason- If you use anti hair fall ( Or any other variant) shampoo for a month and keep on using it, your hair will get use to the shampoo and ingredients of it and eventually they will stop reacting to the shampoo.

After all we also get bored from the same food every day. :p

Always massage the shampoo for good 5 minutes in hair then rinse.

3. Hair Cleansing- You should use ANTI DANDRUFF shampoo every once in a week. Anti dandruff shampoos have deep cleansing ingredients and are very strong in nature, they clean the scalp properly hence they remove all the debris and dirt from hair roots so that the scalp can breathe and hair can grow. It removes the blockage in the hair which accumulates because of Oil And dirt.

4. Hair Rinse- On hair cleansing day, ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) Rinse is also recommended before shampooing.

Mix 2 parts of ACV in 1 part of water and either spray or apply it with cotton ball on the scalp. Message it for 2 Minutes then leave on for 15-30 minutes and wash with shampoo.

Reason- ACV will make the dirt and debris week and make it swallow so it would get easy to take out with shampoo.

5. Combing- Now, you must be thinking, what about hair combing??

It's obvious that we have to comb our hair slowly and we should not be harsh with our hair when combing.

Yes, That's true but most important thing in combing your hair is “Hair comb”.

We should Never Ever use Plastic or metal hair comb. We should always comb our hair with wooden hair comb You can get it at any cosmetic shop for Rs. 20 - Rs. 150. It should be Made of wood that's the most important thing. Brand name is not important.

Reason- The Reason is, plastic and metal hair comb creates electric charge in our hair which makes our hair prone to split ends and breakage. Whereas, Wooden comb is a bad conductor of electric charge hence, It won't make Electric charge in our hair. Safe Hair! :)

Also we should comb our hair when they are damp not wet not dry.

6. Drying your hair- Never dry your hair with hair dryer even with cool settings. It is making your hair week and brittle in every manner.

let your hair get air dried.

If you have to rush to the office you can wash your hair in the evening.

Also, Stop using Hair towels to dry your hair.

You don't even know but you are torturing your hair.

Hair as a whole are very sensitive and fragile. You should never rub them with towel instead just pat them and squeeze them gently. Also try your best to use cotton T-shirts for drying your hair. You can use your T-shirt or your brother, husband, father, friend anybody’s T-shirt basically.

Reason- Cotton T-shirts are maker of soft fabric and they are not harsh on our hair as the towel fibers are.

Tip- If your hair are dense and heavy And don't get dried easily. Pat dry them with a T-shirt then Put the same T-shirt on your shoulders and open up your hair. Do other important work while your hair are getting semi dry. The remove the T-shirt and let the hair be open till they get dried.

7. Styling wet hair- You must have heated of this tip from every other person. Never Ever make your hair in any sort of style when they are wet.

When your hair is wet they are their highest sensitive point and they are very much prone to split ends. Always make your hairstyle when they are completely dried.

8. Hair Message- You should Massage your hair every night for 5 minutes, It is not compulsory to use oil. Just massage your hair with fingertips for 5-10 minutes. You can also lie your head down to the bed as shown in picture and give yourself a nice relaxing massage at least for 5 minutes.

Reason- This will increase the blood flow in your scalp and it will make the nutrients and proteins flow through your inside scalp hence, it will promote hair growth making your hair healthy looking.

( Pregnant women, Nursing Women or people with Blood Pressure/ Heart problems are not recommended to do this with bend head. However you can just give yourself a nice relaxing hair massage while sitting.)

9. Sleeping Hairstyle- Never sleep with Hair Buns or open hair. BAD BAD BAD. Always make a nice very loose braid while sleeping.

Reason- While you are sleeping your body is rejuvenating itself. Hair and skin also rejuvenates itself. Hair grows while you are sleeping  If you tug or pull or style your hair tightly they will not grow, instead they will break And you will have hair fall problem.

10. Sleeping Pillow- This one is very important tip friends. We think that using a cotton pillow is good for our hair as using a Cotton T-shirt is . NO, It is not at all good. Because, When you sleep you change your sides and move your head. You hair creates friction with pillow and hair gets thin and split.

Always use satin or silk pillow cover to sleep as it doesn't creates friction. You will have beautiful skin And beautiful hair too.
