-
Brush your hair regularly before going to bed each night.
-
Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Use very
little but enough to cover hair completely with lather. Use a conditioner to
keep hair manageable.
-
Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the
hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb
instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.
-
Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process
of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.
-
Avoid dyes. Use mehandi (henna) instead as a conditioner
and colouring agent.
-
Take a calcium supplement or drink two glasses
of milk a day.
-
Always hold hair dryer away from your hair.
Direct air from the hair dryer down hair shaft and not directly into the
roots and keep it moving.
-
After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead
comb hair gently.
-
Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid
split ends.
-
Avoid pulling back your hair tightly.
-
Never use a rubber band on your hair as it
can pull and damage hair considerably.
-
Never go out in the sun without having your
head covered.
-
Stimulate circulation by massaging your head
with oil to which some vitamin E has been added. This will make hair soft
and silky.
-
Never wash your hair with very hot or very cold
water.
-
Learn to relax. Hair loss can happen because
of stress. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B, C and E.
-
Add iron and minerals in the natural form in
your diet.
-
If your hair is oily, cut down on fried food
and fat. Drink plenty of water.
