Hair Care Tip 01: Oiling Your Hair.

“It’s important to oil your hair” – you might have received this advice from a ton of people, right from your grandmother to your beautician!

Nourishing your hair with oil will help strengthen your hair, stimulate growth, hydrate the hair, prevent frizz, and protect your hair from heat damage.

Well, it’s true only when it’s done in the right way. And, how can it be done?

Follow these simple steps:

• Choose the right oil for your hair type and scalp.
  In case, you have a greasy scalp, using a light oil is recommended. Whereas, heavy oils can be used if your scalp is too dry and needs more moisture. Some of the popular carrier oils include Coconut oil, Almond oil, Olive oil, and Jojoba oil. And, gently massage your scalp for 10-15 mins.
• Post-application of oil, avoid immediate combing of hair.
  Your hair is fragile enough to break easily at this point as your scalp is relaxed. How? The simple answer is the oil can weigh your hair down thus, combing your hair right after oiling it will only cause it to break.
• Avoid letting the oil sit for longer hours.
  There’s a constant debate on this, however, based on different hair types and oils are required to be left on for different amounts of time. But, generally, leaving the oil on your hair for too long has its downside. It is recommended to keep it on your hair for 6-8 hours, when you extend the period, there’s a high possibility that it can cause the oil to form a layer on your scalp, thereby clogging your pores, accumulating dandruff, and attracting dirt. Also, it will make your scalp feel greasy and dirty.
• Not recommended to tie your hair up in a tight bun or ponytail.
  When oiled, your hair is in a vulnerable state, tying it up in a tight bun or ponytail can add pressure to your oiled hair and can make your hair prone to breakage.
• Rinse it off well
  Post oil application, it’s essential to wash it off with shampoo while using normal/cold water to rinse your hair and ensure that you clean it thoroughly.

Hair Care Tip 02: Swapping Your Hair Care Products With Weather

Sticking only to one range of shampoo and conditioner is an ideal hair care routine for you, isn’t it? But, you are mistaken. The fact is changing weather leads to a change in your hair condition.

So what exactly do you need to take?

• In WINTERS, not only your scalp is dehydrated but it also needs extra conditioning. Your hair can also become extremely frizzy and therefore, you need to have a smoothening and softening shampoo in addition to something that locks in moisture to your hair.
• In SUMMERS, extreme sun rays can make your hair rough and immensely dry. In this case, it is recommended to have a shampoo that’s intensely moisturizing, detoxifying yet something that repairs a sunburned scalp and helps protect the hair from UV rays.
• MONSOONS are known to cause hair breakage and hair fall as the rains bring with it a new set of issues thanks to the humidity. Also, leading to oily scalp, dull hair, and dandruff. That’s why it is suggested to have a clarifying shampoo that is sulfate-free and also a hair cleanser that helps make your hair strands stronger and nourished.

Generally, it is advised to go for a sulfate-free shampoo and a conditioner that works for you and stick to it depending on your hair type, texture, and scalp.
