5 Best Hair Care Tips for Every Hair Type
Our hair experts formulated some curated tips that can be applied to every hair type. Whether you a straight hair, wavy hair, or a curly hair type, these unique tips are universal, encompassing your every scalp and tip need. While you may want to tailor your specific hair type, the basics of hair care are often forgotten and are just as important to know, if not more!
Tip #1: Double Rinsing
Many of you have heard the double cleansing technique of the Korean skincare routine. But have you heard of the double rinsing method? I guess not. What most men and women do not realize is that the moment you step out of the shower, you must not leave behind any shampoo or conditioner residue on your scalp. Any product build-up can lead to dandruff, flaky scalp, or even sebum formation, which is just bad for your scalp health.
Tip #2: are you using a towel to dry off. Don’t do that.
Most of us Indians, are familiar with the image, when mothers and ladies of the house, carry their wrapped heads while they come out of the shower. While this image has a cultural implication on our society, let us just say, that it is bad for you. The weight of the towel is extremely bad for your hair causing hair to break at its roots. Instead, we suggest using a microfiber towel or an old cotton t-shirt as a head wrap.
Tip #3: Always protect your hair before heat styling
We all love the effects of a heat styling session or a full-on blow dry. Although the results are amazing, excessive heat can cause considerable damage to your hair. Every time you blow dry or do any heating session, make sure to use a heat-protective spray. This is one of the most important hair care tips that you must not forget.
Tip #4: Read your shampoo and conditioner composition.
Many of us don’t bother to read the tiny small fonts at the back of the bottle, which states the main ingredients and directions for use. We cannot stress enough the importance of that small read that can contribute to saving your hair loss. Words like, ‘paraben free’, ‘sulfate free’, or even ‘Vitamin C’ indicate the type of shampoo or conditioner that you should be using. SLS is also an important ingredient that you must avoid, which literally translates into Sodium Laurel Sulphate and is one the most common cancer-causing ingredients according to the EU Commission.
Tip #5: Royal Hair Care Secret
The most secretive technique for hair care tips is using a silk pillow while you sleep. You heard it! A silk pillow can save your hair from breakage and unnecessary split ends and is one of the most used techniques by Royal families around the world and even the newlywed Paris Hilton. Paris swears by it and has been revealed to be the number source for maintaining good hair health.
