Hi, before we talk about hair care, I think it would be better if we know the different hair types and identify which one you have. The possible types are normal, dry, oily and combinations. To find your type, you need to shampoo your hair a day before and press a tissue paper against the center scalp area of your head and beneath the ears. If you see oil on the tissue, your hair is an oily type and vice versa for a dry type. If you see oil on the scalp area and no oil beneath the ears, then your hair type is a combination one. A normal hair is shiny, easy to manage and is healthy for about a week. An oily one is greasy, looks good for a day or two, have more dandruff and is non attractive. A dry hair is lifeless even after a shampoo treatment, more itchy and falls regularly. A combination hair inherits both dry and greasy textures, needs constant shampooing and does not set easily.

After figuring out your type, we need to know the basic routines that would make your hair look great. The routine contains

1. Sulfate free shampoo
2. Hair conditioner
3. Purifying shampoo
4. Deep Conditioner
5. Heat protector

While choosing a shampoo, make sure its sulfate free as it dries out hair, make it weak and cause damage over a long term use. People with colored hair need to be more careful as sulfate drip out moisture and in some cases even strip out hair color. After shampooing, applying conditioners aid in hydrating and repairs damaged hair. It is also best to skip the shampoo routine once a week and try out the purifying shampoo. It removes all the shampoo buildup and really helps the conditioner to soak into hair, saturate and will really improve the hair condition. Using a deep conditioner once a month is also highly recommended. The last and final routine is the heat protector which straightens and protects your hair from excess heat. So, if you are going to follow this hair routine, your hair is going to look much healthier and you will feel as confident as ever.

It is quite natural to see your hair shed off. Every follicle lasts long for some duration after which there is a new growth.

Make use of the natural way of drying them and you can use your fingers to style them. Do not brush them when they are still damp.

If you are fascinated about colouring your mane, make use of natural products instead of using chemicals. You can use henna (mehendi), beet root pieces ground well, tea decoction if you like a deeper bergundi colour. Mix all these three ingredients along with oil and apply it. When you use it for two -three times you will soon get a good colour naturally. This will keep your mane shiny and in good health. In addition to this, you also get a good colour without causing damage to your mane. If you have curly locks, you can make them soft by applying mousse or leave in conditioners.
