6 Hair Care Tips for Shiny and Lustrous Hair.

Good Skin and Healthy Hair always leave a good impression. They always get noticed especially on women, and come on besides our outfits & shoes we end up working equally on skin & hair with make – up and styling respectively for any given occasion in our lives.

So let’s talk about Hair care today … it is just as important a regime as eating healthy or exercising. We are all gifted with genetically different hair types and add to this weather and lifestyle conditions sometimes create serious havoc in hair maintenance … so what must we do to follow a good hair car regime? Fashion Tourist Lists a few pointers:

1.    Nourishing the Hair

• It is very important to nourish the scalp and one of the best and popular ways of doing it is by oiling our hair regularly (once a week is good enough). Oiling helps in increasing the blood circulation & needless to say how relaxing it makes one feel. There are a variety of Oils available in the market, right from the basic ones at General stores to fancy ones in Salons. However what is important is that oil should not be kept overnight or for more than 2 hours in one’s hair. If done so it can lead to excessive scalp drying after shampoo. Hence milder oils such as Mythic Oil are highly recommended which can also be used as daily serum nourishment.
• There are other home – remedies too for scalp nourishment like applying egg, curd, lime etc … basically anything organic that comes from our kitchen is healthy for the hair and safe to use

2.    Hair Hygiene

• Sweat & Pollution make our hair dirty just as much as they affect our bodies and therefore washing hair regularly is very important. Get rid off the dirt & grime settled on your head by shampooing and following it up with some conditioning will give your hair the much needed care
• Just make sure that you use the appropriate shampoo that is designed for your hair type, so for example you are facing hair loss issues, use a shampoo that will combat that problem

3.    Avoid excessive styling

• Yes we agree that those dryers, irons, curlers will just transform you into Jennifer Lopez in minutes but the harsh reality is that excessive styling damages hair; they come with side effects like hair fall, drying, split ends etc so go for these tools only when necessary. Also ensure that you apple a heat protecting serum or a similar spray to minimize the heat these tools bring on the hair

4.    Trimming

• Regular trimming helps you get you rid of any split ends & damaged hair thus making room for the healthier hair to blossom … so make it a point to make that customary visit to the salon every 2 months. Sometimes just slight trimming can make you feel great about your look as well as hair.

5.    Be gentle

• Be nice to your locks; comb your hair gently with all the love. Combing & brushing harshly or in a rush will result in breakage and damage and particularly more when you have just washed them; so never comb hair immediately after a hair wash as hair are at their delicate and vulnerable best at this stage

6.    Eat & Drink Healthy

• The advantages of eating Healthy food reach the human body right from head to toe. Consumption of Eggs, Milk products, Green Vegetables is great for hair. Also make sure that your body receives the important components it needs for example Iron deficiency can lead to major hair loss so make sure that your body receives these vitamins in adequate proportions
