HAIR CARE TIPS:

Regular cleaning

 Shampoo your hairs atleast twice a week and atleast thrice a week in summers, so that your hair looks free from dirt and clean. The best remedy is to use a good cleaning shampoo 3 times a week, followed by conditioner. Use of conditioner is very important as it makes the hair manageable and easy for combing. While washing your hair, only lukewarm water should be used and never hot as it can make your hair brittle and dry. 

Apart from this the thing that should be kept in mind is for both women and men who braid their hair, braiding will cause too tight or too long can cause hair loss and baldness. One of the reasons behind this is Traction alopecia, a slow hair loss caused by pulling hair too tight by applying too much tension.

Natural Conditioners  

• Heena is a herbal treatment with good conditioning abilities.
• Egg white is a good conditioner for hair. 
• Deep condition with curd, beer and egg. 
• Mix a little vinegar in warm water and rinse your hair with this solution. This will add bounce to dull and lifeless hair.

It is necessary to understand the Difference between Dandruff and a Dry Scalp. Dandruff is a fungal infection, whereas a dry scalp is the result of the scalp not being moisturized adequately. Dandruff also causes reddish, itchy scalp, and flakes of dead skin that are oily/greasy and larger in size, and have an odor.

• Massage the Scalp with pure coconut oil. This will also help growth of hair.
• Apply a mixture of almond oil and gooseberry juice with finger tips on the scalp.
