Caring for Your Hair at Home. Everyone wants healthy and shiny hair, no matter their hair type or texture. That is why it is important to follow a flexible proper routine to take care of your hair. The basics of having healthy hair tips are universal and apply to all hair types.

Here are some simple tips you can follow to take care of your hair at home, even if you have a busy schedule!

 

Wash your hair with lukewarm water

Hot baths may seem relaxing but they can strip your hair of naturally produced oils, making it drier and duller. That is why it is important to make sure to adjust the water temperature to lukewarm as it will not only clean your hair but will not be harsh on the roots.

Condition the right way

Everyone knows how important hair conditioning is, but very few know the right way to do it. When your roots get greasy, it’s a definite sign that you need to condition your hair.

Make sure you just don’t condition your roots, but cover the mid-length area till the bottom. Try to spread the conditioner equally by using a wide-tooth comb.

Hair mask

Hair masks are much stronger as compared to conditioners, especially for those who have frizzy and curly hair. Apply the mask after washing your hair as it helps retain the hair’s natural oils.

However, over usage of hair masks can damage your hair, so be careful.

Rinse, Rinse, Rinse

Be extremely thorough while rinsing your hair to get rid of any leftover product, as it can cause damage to your hair.

Dry your hair using a towel

It is natural most of us use a towel to dry our hair after washing it. But using a cotton t-shirt lowers the chances of your hair falling, as it is less harsh.  Press down any excess water and gently wrap your hair with a t-shirt.

Styling and Coloring your hair

If you like to color and style your hair often, they may become rough and damaged. That is why you must special care of your hair than usual.

• If you like to style your hair daily, make sure your hair is dry and not wet as it will lose its natural moister and easily become frizzy after applying heat to it.
• Try to reduce the application of heat as it damages hair.
• Colored hair is fun and looks great, but it comes with a price, chemicals! Let your hair breathe before you get the treatment done again.

Oils

This is one pro tip that everyone swears by!  Oiling your hair is extremely important as it regains natural oils and nourishment that has been lost by straightening or dying your hair. You can select the right oil for your hair by checking out its ingredients.

Change up your hairstyles

Tying your hair in a ponytail or bun might be relaxing, but it can be damaging. The process of pulling and tightly tying your hair up breaks your locks and makes your roots weaker. So try wearing your hair down and let your roots breathe!

If you feel that your hair is rough at the bottom, look for split ends. Your hair may need a trim, which you can easily do at home as well.
