Handy Tips

1. Heat That pin straight hair? Perfect. Those curls? Ravishing. But if you are using too much heat constantly to achieve these looks, your hair isn’t going to thank you. Instead, limit your hair styling and use non-heat techniques. Put in curlers first thing in the morning and you will have a great style by the time you are ready for work. Or braid your hair before going to sleep. And remove the braids next morning to see gorgeous waves.

2. Know your products Often we just use those products our friends recommend, forgetting that they have different types of hair and scalp too. Know the product thoroughly before subjecting your mane to it. Also, make sure you use the heat protectant products before you use heat on your hair.

3. Colours and chemicals We love colouring our hair when we want a change. That brings about an instant effect. But you once you colour your hair, you’re supposed to use the right products and take extra care of it. The same goes for chemical relaxers and straighten­ers. If you can’t take good care of it, you are going to be facing breaking hair and even scalp infections.

4. Shampoo An extremely common mistake we all make is that we rarely choose products that suit our hair and scalp. And even when we manage to find some that are good for us, we use them in the wrong way: using shampoo directly and in more quantity or too frequently. 5. Conditione­r What’s the worst thing we could do to our hair? Not conditioni­ng it. Conditione­r makes all the difference. It acts as a layer between your hair and the external elements like humidity, pollution and sun. It will prevent your hair from going dry and brittle, which will ultimately lead to hair breakage. So make sure you get one according to your hair and scalp type.
