While application of these hair masks can help you achieve your dream hair, but there are certain things you need to include in your everyday hair care regime to keep your hair healthy and nourished all the time.

Here are your hair care tips to getting sleek, shiny, and healthy hair by bringing about little changes in your everyday hair care routine:

  1. Wash your hair less frequently as excessive shampooing can rob your hair of its natural moisture and pH balance and make the hair appear limp and dry
  2. Use a cleansing conditioner post shampooing to lock in the moisture and add smoothness.
  3. Never raise your hair with hot water. It can damage the hair follicles and dehydrate the scalp. Result- dry, brittle & damaged hair. Washing with cold water, instead, to seal the cuticles as well as the moisture.
  4. Avoid excessive use of styling products and tools as they can damage the hair and lead to hair fall, split-ends, and dry & flaky scalp, among others.
  5. Hot oil head massage, at least twice a week, is a must. It hydrates your locks, nourishes the scalp, hydrates it from deep within, and makes the hair appear healthy, strong, and shiny.
  6. Stay away from brushing or combing too much as it weakens the follicles, and too much pulling can make the hair break and fall. Using a wide-tooth combine is recommended as it gives more room to the hair and avoids split-ends and hair breakage instances.
