  2. ·        Washing your hair every day,

  4. ·        Using heated tools often,
  5. ·        Dying or bleaching your hair,
  6. ·        Not oiling your hair regularly,
  7. ·        Poor diet,
  8. ·        And sometimes it could be due to underlying health conditions like, Hypothyroidism and malnutrition.

How to get healthy hair?

You can follow these simple tips to restore your hair back to its original health.

Tip#1:

You probably would have heard it a lot of times already but try to avoid using heated tools often. Gently towel dries your hair instead of blow-drying all the time. And if you are blow-drying, make sure to use it in lowest heat settings.

Tip#2:

Wear a cap or scarf over your hair when going out in sunlight. Just like your skin sunlight and dust affects your hair too. The heat will absorb all the natural oil on your cuticle and make it dry and the ends brittle. So, make sure to cover your hair if you are going out in the sun for a long time.

Tip#3:

Do not wash your hair every day. It will stripe off all the natural oil from your scalp and make it dry and breakable. Wash your hair 2-3 times a week with a mild shampoo and use conditioner to lock the moisture.

Tip#4:

Oiling your hair regularly is more important than you think. It is the best way to moisturize your scalp and nourish the roots. Oil your hair at least twice a week before washing your hair. Brushing your hair after applying oil can help to spread the oil evenly and the oil acts as a lubricant to remove tangles which can save your hair from breakage. You can also use herbal oil especially if you have any hair conditions like hair fall, split ends, and premature greying since they contain extract from different herbs.

Tip#5:

Your diet plays an important role in determining the health of your hair. So, try to include more protein and omega-3 in your diet. This can give your hair a natural shine.

“Healthy hair is a reflection of what you put in your body and on your hair”

So, be careful about what products you use on your hair and what you eat. Remember Hydrate, condition and cleanse are the three tricks to get healthy, shiny hair.

How many of you avoid oiling your hair because it makes your hair “greasy”? On contrary to what you’re thinking oil doesn’t make your hair greasy, in fact, it moisturizes the scalp and gives your hair the nourishment it deserves. Why should you oil your hair regularly? Just like our skin, our hair needs oil to stay moisturized. Without oil, our hair looks dry and brittle. Hair oil also lubricates the outer cuticle and moisturizes the roots which make your roots stronger and stimulates hair growth. How often should you oil your hair? This depends on your hair type. If you have dry hair then it’s safe to oil your hair three to four times a week. And as for people with normal hair, oiling twice a week is enough. What is the best hair oil?
