Hair Care

Following are some of the hair care tips which can help you get healthy and bouncy hair.

Daily Hair Care Tips
Brushing: Brushing improves blood circulation in the scalp. Brushing also stimulates hair cells to produce more hair follicles. However, you must remember not to brush wet hair since you may tear your hair in the process.


Oiling: In the early days, oiling hair was an important part of hair care. Oil keeps your scalp moistened and also prevents the pollutants from damaging your hair. Even the hair care experts of today would suggest one to oil his/her hair at least once a week and apply a turban therapy. Add Vitamin E to your hair oil and massage your hair with it. Vitamin E would help in improving the health of your hair.

Shampooing: Shampooing regularly should be an important part of your daily hair care regimen. Daily dirt, pollutants and oil settle on your scalp which can lead to dandruff, itchy scalp, smelly scalp and other such problems. Ideally one should shampoo in every alternate day. While shampooing you must however use only lukewarm water. Too hot or too cold water can damage the hair follicles and accelerate hair fall.

To shampoo your hair you must use a mild shampoo. You can also settle for Ayurvedic or medicated shampoo since these don’t contain harmful chemicals. It is important to choose a shampoo that is suitable for your hair condition.

Conditioning: When you wash your hair don’t forget to condition it since shampooing would leave your hair dry. With washes the hair loses its natural moisturizer and hence it becomes dry and rough. Conditioning would prevent the hair from losing moisturizer and give it a smooth, bouncy texture.
