Also, the WAY YOU BRUSH contributes to the health of your hair. Use a brush which is gentle and soft on scalp. Instead of starting from roots, start section wise.  

TIPS: One should usually comb hair 3/4 times a day.. once in the morning, evening and once before going to bed. Excess of brushing might lead to hair breakage.

And for the girls with CURLY HAIR :

Spray some water or run wet fingers through your hair once you’re done brushing.

Its utmost important to detangle and remove dead hairs.

LOOSE, Leave your hair loose

Whether you make a messy bun in a party, or a Boho-Style-braid with your girlfriends on a lunch.. But don’t ever forget to keep them loose, when you’re relaxing or chilling comfortably at your home. The hairstyles which includes tying up too tightly often gives you stress!!

Generally, on daily basis 50-100 hair strands sheds daily. This might not only give you tension.. but can make your head go round..but do not.. I repeat..do not freak out !!!

Just relax … its the part and parcel of natural hair growth.

TIPS: Whenever you get back from work or office, get into your favorite cotton pajamas and t shirt.. and just loosen up your hair!

Avoid taking very hot showers

Taking shower in hot water, opens up the pores and cuticles of your hair.. causing it to be brittle, frizzy and dry.

Also, it will remove “sebum” (natural oil) which strengthens and gives shines to hair.

No matter, what your hair texture is, it needs MOISTURE to stay frizz free.

TIPS : Always, wash your hair with normal, warm or room-temperature water. Once a month, steam hair-spa is also a must.

Avoid certain colors and fabrics

Choose your fabrics carefully girls! Rougher and static-y fabrics will protract your agony and will make the hair stick. Also, silkier and soft clothes helps them to roll off.

If your hair is dark, stick to dark shades and vice-versa. 

Already your hair sheds daily, so avoiding this will add on to more shedding!

TIPS :- Like if you have any scalp infection or dandruff problem.. avoid wearing dark colors.. because it will fall on your shoulders and will be clearly visible!!

Protect your hair from sun exposure

Girls, excess of sun exposure might damage your hair. The way you protect our skin from harmful UV rays, in the same we need to save our hair as well! Those rays will steal your hair of their moisture and will make them dry and brittle. Hence, it will lead to breakage and shedding.

TIPS: Carry a scarf always. Cover you hair with it, when you’re exposed to sunlight or while driving two-wheeler. 

Handle wet hair carefully

After your shower, let your hair dry naturally. Wrap your wet hair in a COTTON T-SHIRT (yes, perfect!) Towels area made of rough fabric which causes frizziness and split ends.  Don’t brush them when they are wet, as it makes them brittle and dry. Always, use a wide toothed comb to brush out the tangles.

TIPS:- If in case you take a shower at night, repeat the same procedure as mentioned above..put your hair up in a bun, and let it dry naturally in the  overnight. It avoids breakage.
