Good hair is not an impossibility - all you need to do is take care of it. Here are some pointers
- De-frizz! On weekends or once in a fortnight, dab an intensive conditioner or coat your hair with protein liquid (available at beauty salons as a power dose treatment for hair). Applying good Jojoba oil at the ends of your hair or the frizziest parts of your hair is another good option. Pin up your hair or wrap it in plastic and sleep on it. This will restore the absent moisture and control the frizz.
- Ensure your hair is completely dry before you step out When wet hair is exposed to direct sunlight, it can get damaged. It might result in hair fall and discolouration.
- Avoid hair dryers and hot curling tools. Try a desi trick! Hair dryers and hot curling tools heat up your hair and tend to make it dry. If you really want to go for the curly look, braid your hair when semi-wet. This will settle into beautiful waves when dry.
- Be careful with those hair serums Do not overuse shine products to control frizzes -- they often contain silicone that can coat your hair after just a few applications and can prove harmful.
- Swim safe and use the sun to your advantage! A summer swim can be blissful. But chlorinated water can play havoc with your hair. To prevent damage, wet your hair with tap water before you swim. The more wet your hair before you swim, the less salt water and chlorine it will absorb. After the swim, rinse out the chlorinated water. And comb a dollop of deep-conditioning treatment on your hair. Let the heat of the sun help the treatment penetrate.
- Stay dandruff-free Not washing hair properly, frequent use of hair sprays and gels, excessive use of hot curling irons, poor hair-friendly diet or even stress can cause dandruff.
So stay clean and nourished and steer clear off dandruff.
