We shampoo all the time, but are we doing it correctly?

We all have got a hair wash at the saloon and we love it!! Do you want such an amazing saloon hair wash at home?

No matter how many times you washed your hair it never felt THAT soft? You even tried different shampoos!

Don’t worry..Keep reading

If you really really want the saloon type hair wash you have to be patient! I know how tiring it can get to wash our long hair patiently!!

First of all try to find out your hair type..Is it straight,wavy,curly ? Is it dry,oily,normal? dense,thin? Understanding your hair type goes a long way in having healthy hair!

Once you know your hair type, choose a shampoo and conditioner that best suits your hair type.

Now you are ready to start..

Step One: Oil your hair at least an hour before you plan to wash! I usually oil it at night and wash it off in the morning.. Choose an oil which suits your hair type. Experiment to find out what is best for you! Oil for hair = Food for Humans…all the nourishment and care your hair needs comes with oiling! Make sure you apply enough quantity and massage the oil properly into your scalp.

Step Two: Shampoo!! Take little quantity (yes, little quantity) of shampoo and massage into your wet scalp. A coin sized amount can lather a lot and maybe enough for your hair. You may have to wash again to get rid of the oil. Do not wash too many times, we don’t want to get rid of the natural oils! Rinse properly.

Step Three: Squeeze out all the water.

Step Four: Use a conditioner and apply it starting from the mid length to the tips. A conditioner is not supposed to be massaged into the scalp! Use a wide toothed comb and comb out any tangles formed. Do not over comb as your hair is fragile when wet. Leave the conditioner on for 2 minutes.

Step Five: Rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry naturally. Do not use hair dryers all the time..it makes your hair frizzy! When your hair is damp you can opt to use leave – in conditioners such as Livon. Allow it to dry and style as you like

Do not tuck your hair behind your ear when it is wet.It will cause unnecessary bumps.

That’s it! Soft and tangle free hair is ready

Hair care:

How can I protect my hair from harsh chemicals?

Oil your hair properly, or you’ll end up with badly damaged hair! You can use from a variety of oils like coconut oil, mustard oil, almond oil, awla oil, etc ..

How do I get rid of holi colours from my hair?

Wash your hair with a mild shampoo.. preferably a herbal shampoo. Use a conditioner..You cannot get rid of the colours in a single wash so try this, Apply some curd on your hair after a single wash. Mix curd and lemon juice and apply properly. Leave for 45 minutes. Wash with a mild shampoo. Use a good quality hair serum (excessive washing makes hair dry and brittle, a hair serum will really help! Trust me!)

Skin care:

Moisturiser is a must before you step out of the house on holi!

How to remove holi colours from skin?

First of all try to wipe off colours on the skin using a dry waste cloth.(some colours stick to skin when mixed with water)DO NOT RUB! Then take a cold water bath using a mild soap or shower gel. Moisturise your skin immediately after bathing..Do not have a facial or use facial bleach at least for a week after holi!

Other Tips:

Cut your nails short! Do not cut your cuticles ever (especially not before holi) or you will increase the chances of getting an infection.

Don’t forget to drink water..Yes in midst of all the fun we forget to hydrate ourselves causing more damage to our skin!

Do not wear contact lenses.

WISH YOU ALL A COLOURFUL AND SAFE HOLI
