Hair Care Tip #1. Oiling
Our hair go through a lot of wear and tear on a daily basis and thus deserve some love and pampering at the end of the day. Oils act as a moisturizing agent and help keep the hair soft and shiny and at the same time is great food for your hair. The best time to apply a hair oil is at night before you go to sleep. You can choose any oil of your choice the most preferred ones being coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil and sesame oil. Depending on the length of the length of your hair, pour out the oil in a bowl and warm it up either on a stovetop or in a microwave. Massage your scalp with this warm oil for few minutes gently. Tie your hair up in a bun or ponytail and go to sleep. By oiling your hair at night you give the oil enough time to get absorbed by the roots as well as repair the shaft. Next morning shampoo your hair and you have the most luscious, shiny and soft hair.
Hair Care Tip #2. Apply serum
If you are not a huge fan of oiling or you don’t have enough time to massage your scalp then you can choose serum as an alternative. Serums are the thick elixir that coats the hair strands and normally used to reduce frizz, treat dry hair and shine to your mane. Pour out a pump or two of your hair serum on your palm and apply it on just the lengths of your hair concentrating on the ends. Make sure not to apply any on your roots as this will make your hair look greasy. Also, avoid using too much of it.
Hair Care Tip #3. Tie up your hair
Tying your hair before going to sleep ensures that your hair do not get tangled or create a lot of friction which might lead to breakage and split ends. You can either make a bun out of your hair or put them in a braid. Whatever hair style you choose, don’t tie your hair too tight as this may lead to sore roots and hair fall.
Hair Care Tip #4. Cover your mane
If you have long hair it is better to cover them with a muslin cloth to reduce friction as it may lead to split ends. Tie your hair in such a way so that the cloth does not come out while you are asleep. This prevents split ends and treats them at the same time.
Hair Care Tip #5. Don’t sleep on damp hair
Damp or wet hair are more prone to damage. When you sleep on wet hair your hair gets crushed and crumbled in a damaging way, leading to breakage and spilt ends. And you also wake up with a hairstyle that you definitely don’t want to flaunt.
Hair Care Tip #6. Don’t sleep on dirty hair
If you are not washing your hair on a regular basis then you are probably blocking the pores on your scalp which can lead to serious scalp and hair related problems such as dandruff, hair fall, etc. dirty hair can also become a possible cause of acne. Therefore, make sure to wash your hair regularly and to save some time you can wash them at night.
Hair Care Tip #7. Brush your hair before going to bed
It is always a good idea to brush your hair before going to bed as this will ensure that your hair is free of any knots and tangle. The brushing will also improve the blood circulation to the scalp encouraging a healthier hair growth.
Hair Care Tip #8. Use vitamin E
Vitamin E is one nutrient you want to include in your diet if you want to achieve healthy hair and beautiful hair. You can either take vitamin e supplements or you can use vitamin e capsules for topical application as well.
