Welcome to femaleya! Today we will discuss hair care and healthy hair care tips. Hair plays an important role in our appearance and elegant looks. Although you may be a well appealing person look wise if your hair’s health is not in place then it won’t make you a complete person which can ultimately hamper your personality. 

Hair fall, thin hair, frizzy hair and hair greying at young age and mid-age, has become the biggest problem nowadays.

In this article, I will try to throw some light on these problems and how they can be dealt with.

Hair Care Tips:

1. The first important and foremost thing for healthy hair is to take a healthy diet that nourishes our health and invigorates our hair roots, therefore our hair becomes strong, shiny and lush and also controls the hair fall and prevents hair greying at a young age.

2. Keep your hair clean and make sure to clean it twice a week reason being in many moderate climatic conditions there is a lot of dust and one sweats a lot which makes your hair dirty and if not cleaned at regular intervals will ruin its health. During winter, use the shampoo once a week, and to keep your scalp clean washing your hair with lukewarm water is recommended.

3. Those people who have dry hair should use shampoo once a week and should rinse their hair with warm water twice a week. The benefit is that this will save your hair from drying out.

4. For those who are suffering from mild dandruff issues the best way to get rid of mild dandruff naturally is by mixing a half tablespoon of lemon juice in one litre of water and applying it to the scalp. Allow it to remain on the scalp for a few minutes and then wash your hair with water at room temperature. This will not only clean your scalp and hair but will also be useful for the control of dandruff.
5. As a kid, my mother used to wash my hair with a soap named kesha nikhar. That time my hair was so silky and lush even in my teens, I used to wash my hair with soap but after getting into college I stopped using it and switched to shampoo. The shampoo had many harsh chemicals such as sodium laurel sulfate, paraben, formaldehyde, sodium chloride and fragrances and artificial colours which is very harmful to your hair. So try to use any mild shampoo which has these chemicals in limited levels like using baby hair shampoo, transparent shampoo etc.
6. it is better to use soap to wash your hair. As soap is made from oils and cause less damage to the hair, but there is one of the biggest problems in using soap is that soap does not foam with hard water and also coagulated on the hair. Therefore if in your area where your residence gets soft water then use soap otherwise shampoo is advisable.
7. If you experience sudden hair fall then it’s high time to change your shampoo. Firstly shampoos contain so many chemicals which can make your scalp sensitized and that can cause hair fall. Earlier in our country, everyone used natural substances for their hair care for instance reetha (soap nut),shikaki to wash their hair. From my viewpoint, even today’s era should use these natural ingredients to wash their hair.
8. Hair conditioners – hair conditioner contains oil as well as other chemicals for making the hair soft, if you want to make your hair naturally conditioning then right after washing your hair, take two drops of coconut oil or olive oil or almond oil into your palm and apply on a strand of the hair, leave it for 2 to 3 minutes and after that wash your hair with warm water. Your hair will not only get untangled but also will get strengthened.
9. Hair dye- the person who uses hair dye on their hair should keep in mind that it should contain ammonia in it as ammonia causes bleaching of the hair then the artificial colour present in dye causes hair damage.
10. Avoid using hair drier or hair iron frequently as it causes split ends over a period of time.
11. Comb- always use a big-toothed comb to untangle your hair. As a result, it can reduce your hair break. Always buy the best quality comb and brush that you can afford. Don’t use a cheap nylon brush or metal brush as it damages your scalp first then it causes hair breakage due to friction and moreover it develop static electricity in the hair which is the reason hair gets damaged. Try to use a wooden comb.
12. Never share or let others use your brush and combs because they transmit head lice, fungal infections, dandruff and bacterial infection from one person to another person.
13. Those who have long hair should get their hair trimmed every two months.
14. finally, yet importantly, many people are ignoring that sunlight can damage your hair so always cover your hair properly while out in sun. UVA rays in sunlight, penetrate into the skin and destroy the colour forming cells of hair called melanocytes which damage the hair. So always cover your hair with a hat, cap or any cloth for that matter.
