Hair Care Tipz(new)

''Hair is nature's biggest compliment and the treatment of this compliment is in our hands.''

Healthy and beautiful hair is what every women wish for. It depends mainly on your genes, diet, lifestyle pattern etc. Any hair care routine basically includes a good diet and exercise. But due to rising levels of stress and pollution in the environment, many people have a tough time dealing with hair problems like dry or frizzy, oily hair or dandruff and hair fall. It is not just affecting the teenagers but individuals of all ages. Hence it has become important to take care of your hair so that it looks healthy and shiny.

Hair care tips:

1. Keep your scalp clean

Rinse your hair frequently with a mild shampoo to keep your scalp clean and free of dirt and dust. Scalp might become a breeding ground for bacteria if not cleaned regularly and leads to infections, as it contains dead cells, toxins released from the skin, oil and dust. Don’t select a shampoo with strong chemicals as too much of chemicals is not good for hair.

2. Condition your hair after every wash

Hair may become dry and frizzy after shampooing as all the oils are washed away. It also becomes difficult to comb and manage. Hence apply a light conditioner after every wash which makes your hair soft and shiny. Choose a mild conditioner which suits you.

3. Use wide toothed comb with smooth edges to comb

A wide toothed comb with smooth edges helps you comb smoothly without damaging your hair.

4. Do not comb wet hair

Combing when the hair is wet breaks it and you lose more hair. Your scalp is all soaked up and soft after shampooing and hair can be lost easily when you comb. Wait until the scalp and hair is semi dry or dry and then comb with a wide toothed comb.

5. Hot oil treatment twice a month is very effective

Hot oil treatment makes your dry hair shiny and healthy. It can be tried at home or you can opt going to a parlour or spa. Damaged hair can be best treated with hot oil.

6. Avoid chemical treatments to hair

Chemical treatments damage hair and needs extra care. Opt for home made and natural treatments to keep your hair naturally healthy and shiny. Regular coloring, straightening or perming damages your hair as tremendous heat and strong chemicals are applied.

7. Beer for hair

Beer contains proteins and vitamins which nourishes dull hair. Hence it acts as a good conditioner as it makes your hair soft, lustrous and adds volume. But make sure you use the beer without the fizz, i.e., wait until the bubbles escape and then use it for washing your hair. It can be used for any hair type. Use a beer which doesn't have a strong odour or else you will be walking with an odour all day.

8. Massages

Massages improve blood circulation to your head and rejuvenate. Try to avoid massaged if you have dandruff or any other skin infection as it will make the condition worse.

9. Good sleep

Get enough sleep as lack of it will add to stress and leads to hair fall. Make sure you get at least 6-8 hours of sleep for an active day.

How to wash your hair using beer:

• Shampoo as usual
• Pour beer (without fizz) or flat beer on your hair and massage for some time.
• Rinse off with warm water(do not use hot water as it will make the hair dry)

Beer can also be used as a shampoo or conditioner.

Beer as a shampoo:

For 1 cup of shampoo add ¼ cup of boiled beer and use it as a shampoo. It not only acts as a cleanser but also improves the hair shine and overall feel and look.

Beer as a conditioner:

Add 1 tsp of jojoba or lavender oil or any scented oil to 1 cup warm beer and use as a conditioner; Scented oil removes the odour of beer and adds to the shine.
