Now that the festivities are over, it’s very possible that you’ve neglected your hair and not given it proper nourishment. To maintain your hair, it is essential to have a good hair care routine that keeps the hair nourished, healthy, strong, smooth, infection free, non-greasy and frizz free. You should set your routine according to the requirements of your hair texture and scalp type. Creating a hair care routine may be simple, but if you follow it closely, you will get the best results. Here’s How To Maintain Your Hair-
Dust protection
When you go outside, make it a point to protect your hair by tying it up. The more it is exposed to dust and wind, the drier it gets. To prevent the dust from settling on your scalp and clogging the hair follicles, tuck your hair under a hat or headscarf.
Washing hair
You do not need to wash your hair daily. Depending on your hair type, make sure to wash your hair when it is dirty, otherwise daily washing can strip your hair of its natural oil. Fine and straight hair should be washed often. Dry hair should be washed every third day. For an oily scalp, opt for alternate days of washing. Keep an eye on your hair and wash it if you feel product build-up or if your hair becomes oily.
Hot water for hair wash – a big no
Whatever happens, make sure you never wash your hair with hot water. Hot water strips your hair of oils that act as a natural conditioner. Use lukewarm water instead of hot water to prevent loss of shine and dullness of the hair.
Natural products
Use homemade remedies to solve the problems instead of choosing harsh chemicals. Use warm olive or coconut oil to moisturize your dry hair. To bring back the lost shine, rinse your hair with brewed tea that matches your natural hair color. For deep hydration, mix equal parts honey with shampoo and wash your hair to strengthen the hair follicles.
Serum
Make sure to add an extra layer of nourishment by applying serum to your hair. You can apply it on your damp hair. You should use hair serum before styling your hair with a heating tool. Before going to bed, take a few drops of the serum and scrunch your hair for an even application.
