INTRODUCTION:Ever since childhood,I’ve been captivated by the allure of long hair and associated it with beauty,elegance or even a fairy-tale like charm.I get lot of compliments on my hair and often get asked about the secret of my haircare routine.Well the right products,gentle care and a little patience is required to maintain long healthy hair.In this blog i dive deep into the world of long hair sharing some tips,habits,and easy to follow techniques that can help you to maintain your hair.Whether you’re looking to grow your hair longer or simply keep it strong and vibrant,these insights will set you on the right path!
DIET:Healthy diet can significantly improve the quality of your hair.Protein-rich food like eggs,chicken,fish,nuts,legumes,dairy products are essentials.Omega-3 fatty acids,found in fatty fish like salmon and mackerel,are important for hair health and can help combat hair loss.Try to include berries,citrus fruits,excellent source of vitamin c,helps to produce collagen and strengthen hair follicles.
BRUSH HAIR REGULARLY:I brush my hair 2-3 times a day with wooden comb.Brushing regularly can help to distribute the natural oil through the hair length,also increase the blood flow in the scalp.I always detangle my hair from tip to root to avoid unnecessary hair breakage.Switching from plastic comb to wooden comb was the best decision ever,wooden comb reduces the frizz, making hair healthy and bouncy.
SCALP CARE:A well nourished clean scalp is necessary for hair follicles to grow,resulting it stronger,longer,healthier hair.I clean my scalp 2 times a week with Biotique Ocean Kelp Anti-Hair Fall shampoo, you can use any sulphate-free shampoo to rinse your scalp.Don’t overshampoo your hair,it can make your hair dry,brittle and prone to breakage.In winter i use Minimalist Anti-Dandruff Hair Serum and trust me it works like magic,reduces dandruff and itchiness in one wash keeps hair dandruff free for atleast 7days.If you are facing massive hairfall try Arish Hair Vita,spray it into your scalp,leave overnight and shampooing the next day.
HAIR OIL MASSAGE:Hair oil massage is more than just a relaxing ritual,it stimulates blood circulation,nourishes hair follicles,make them stronger and healthier.I use max care cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil on my scalp and coat the length of the hair to smoothen hair cuticles.I apply hair oil once a week 1 hour before hair wash.
HAIR MASK:After shampoo I apply Nykaa Fermented Rice Water & Bamboo hair mask from the mid lengths towards the end,leave it for 8 minutes and rinse off with cold water.You can leave the hair mask for 15minutes or more for better nourishment.
HAIR SERUM:Use 2-3 pumps of hair serum on clean freshly washed hair,I use Streax Professional vitariche gloss hair serum, it works well and smells so good.Hair serum will help tame frizz,add shine and also act as heat protectant.I use minimalist hair growth active serum if i face major hairfall and it does what it claims, promotes hair growth and reduce hair fall,another magical product from the house of minimalist.
REGULAR TRIMS:Overtime hair develops split-ends,trimming removes the damaged ends makes it easier to detangle and gives polished sleek look.Ideal interval for trimming long hair should be 8-12 weeks.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
1.Use cold water or lukewarm for hair wash.
2.Always use your comb from tip to root.
3.Never use dirty comb,and its better to use a separate one.
4.Use clean pillow case.
5.Don’t overshampoo your hair.
6.Use a heat protectant spray before blow-drying.
7.Don’t tie your hair tightly.
CONCLUSION:You don’t need expensive products or parlour treatment for healthy hair,simply follow the tips above and you will notice a big improvement in your hair’s condition.I hope my haircare routine helps you in some way.
