Ever wondered if you are actually taking proper care of ur hair? Most of us don’t bother it as much as we do to our body. People are too busy thesedayz to find time for themselves.So whats the trend?? U just find an expensive shampoo or a top brand shampoo , wash ur hair off wid it and thats it..ur hair care is done! And the outcome would be… dull,dam...aged hair...huh!
95% of the members in Bloossoms group are working women.So lets look into some general mistakes that we do and the tips to avoid them on daily basis.
♥ Before you could step into any haircare tips, jus take 5 minutes time to look at ur hair deeply,ur hair ends, ur scalp,the texture of ur hair. This is very important since u’ll have to choose ur shampoos and conditioners based on this. So jus touch ur hair to know its texture,look onto ur hair ends to check if any splitends popped in, ask someone to look at ur scalp closely to check for any dandruff .
♥ If ur scalp is pinkinsh or red, urs is s sensitive scalp. You will have to opt for herbals or non-chemical products.
♥ If you have dandruff, DO NOT for godsake apply oil. It just multiplies it.
♥ Once you are aware of ur hair texture, dandruff yes/no and the sensitivity of ur scalp, now do take time to go through the products and choose the best one that suits ur requirements. Avoid chemical shampoos.
♥ Avoid going outdoors with oil on hair. This is a big no no.
♥ Avoid washing ur hair daily.
♥ For every hairwash, make sure the water is neither too hot nor too cold. It should be warm.
♥ Whenever oil is applied, make it warm so that it penetrates to the roots.
♥ Never let ur nails touch the scalp. Massage always with ur fingertips.
♥ When oil/conditioner is applied,wrap ur hair and scalp with a hot towel and leave on for 20 minutes. This deep conditions ur hair.
♥ Always let ur hair dry naturally. Avoid using dryers unless an emergency. In case of a dryer, make sure you use a diffuser without fail and place the dryer atleast 8 inches from ur hair.
♥ Always clean ur comb(s) each time u have a hairwash.
♥ DONOT switch combs with others….YUK!
♥ Change ur pillowcovers each time u hairwash, if u are dandruff prone.
♥ Donot let ur hair fall on ur face. The pimples and acne that you find on foreheads is caused by this.
♥ Once you touch ur hair or scalp, immediately wash ur hands. DONOT ever put the same hand without washing ,on ur face.
♥ Depending on the length of your hair, choose a scarf and cover ur hair whenevr you are stepping out, be it day or night.This is a must if you want to protect ur hair.
Any queries regarding what shampoos would suit you and which one to select, please do write to me or you can even post it down here.

Hi Shilpa ur post regarding hair is good but one doubt which oil will help for hair growth.
ReplyDeleteThank u :)
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on ur scalp sensitivity and the texture of ur hair. On a general basis, i suggest 'extra virgin olive oil' or 'coconut oil'.
Make sure u jus warm the oil a bit before applying and apply with ur fingertips.
thank u shilpa i m using coconut oil.....

Deletehi shilpa...this is lubna....my hairs are damaged and i have many split ends......i have oily hair and they are very thin also do suggest me some home remedy plz
ReplyDeleteHi Lubna. The very first thing i would advice you to do is goto a professional salon and get ur splitends removed. Once you are done ur hair is half way to be healthy.Since you have oily hair, make sure u rinse it atleast once in two days to keep ur scalp fresh. DONOT step out with oil ON. Cover your head when u step out.Choose a shampoo and conditioner that are best suiting ur scalp.U can even take the advice from the professionals in the salon about the shampoo suiting ur scalp. Take boiled eggs and carrot juice in ur daily diet.

hi akka..this is alekhya...how r u? i have a short,very curly and dry hair but my scalp is sweaty and oily.i tried several hair products, till now the best suited one for me is loreal paris smoothing shampoo and conditioner.as my hair is curly it smoothens my hair.i dnt have split ends or dandruff but the problem is severe hair fall. now i'm using himalaya anti hair fall hair oil.it was just terrible. plz suggest oil,shampoo or any other hair products for me.thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Alekhya. Your scalp is oily but your hair is dry? hmm..let me think. do you cover ur hair when you step out with a scarf/hat ? Do you leave ur hair open most of the times? Do you blow dry? Is your hair coloured?
DeleteMany reasons might pop when you have hair problems. It all depends on your routine and diet.
Measures :
-> Regarding your hairfal, STOP using different products on your already affected hair/scalp. I would suggest you to start using "L'oreal professional mythic oil shampoo and conditioner" which suits for all hair types. Am using the same one too.
-> Do not apply conditioner to you scalp. It is just meant for ur hair.
-> Use warm water. DO NOT use hot water which will damage the natural texture of your hair.
-> Use a soft towel and wipe ur hair gently.do not be harsh. Hair is at its weakest when wet.
-> Cover your hair whenevr you step out.
-> Include nuts,boiled egg and carrots in your diet.
Take care
