Someone once told you that your hair is the most beautiful accessory. It's 100% true. We all long for those hair-raising days to arrive. That's the charm and power of your hair. Beautiful and healthy hair is able to change your mood in a matter of minutes.

Through the years of recognizing the importance of maintaining healthy hair and coming up with a regimen for it after a few trials and errors my hair only got better. It's definitely taken energy and time, a bit of experimentation, some great products, a few changes in my lifestyle, and a lot of regularity, but I'm betting that you will be blessed with healthy, vibrant shiny locks if follow all the steps below. This is the ultimate hair care routine as well as some helpful suggestions, tips, and tricks.

1. Learn about your hair's style

It's vital to know the type of hair you have, so you can choose the appropriate items and take care of your hair in the right way. Be aware of whether your hair is too dry, or oily or is it just normal? Are your hair frizzy or straight? Is the hair wavy, and curly, there are split ends, or is it damaged? Once you understand your hair's condition, you'll be able to tackle it with ease. My scalp is normal and my hair is dry and it can become frizzy in humid conditions or when I am using the incorrect hair products.

2. Stay clear of all chemicals and styling products

It's a simple proposition! Chemicals-free hair = good hair. If there's a rule I adhere to, it's staying clear of all the chemicals found in these sprays for styling and other products that cause your hair stiff, curly, dense, etc. I don't apply one of the products and stay away from it unless absolutely necessary. In the short term, these products can create the hair you want but they're going to make it worse in the future. I personally love and enjoy my natural hair texture and prefer to keep my hair the same. I am not a fan of using any type of product in my hair. It's completely useless to apply any of them every day I'd suggest applying it only if you are celebrating a special event.

3. Maintain Good Scalp Health

Good Scalp Health

If there's a thing that is often overlooked it is the condition that your hair is in. It's as vital as any other area in your physique. The condition of your scalp is directly influenced by your lifestyle and food habits. Although regular washing is definitely an excellent habit, washing your hair regularly can cause damage to the quality and texture could cause your scalp to become dry, and can also cause hair fall. If you don't wash it enough, it could result in an oily scalp.

4. Shampoo & Conditioner

What shampoo should I apply? This is probably the most frequently asked question. We must realize that everyone has a unique hair type and quality. Therefore, what suits some may not be suitable for you, and in reverse. This is something you have to determine for yourself. Try a different brand to determine if it fits you. If it makes your hair shiny and full of volume the hair is good. However, if it becomes rough, frizzy, and falls, it's not the right choice for you. give it a few weeks before deciding. What I can tell you is to buy the best shampoo. Don't choose the foamy products in the supermarket, go for ones made for salons, and stay clear of chemicals or parabens in any way you can.

5. Blowdry or Airdry?

After washing, I usually let my hair air dry naturally. I don't comb my hair as it's wavy. Once combined, the waves break up and get frizzy. Therefore, I leave it to dry and then clip the fringes of my sides using a hairpin when they're wet. They will then become straight while the rest of my hair will be curly. I am in love with my hair's texture as it was and like keeping it that way.

Although hair dryers can be quite convenient for drying or styling your hair, it's recommended to keep their use to a minimum. Exposed to continuous and constant heat can cause a tampering the hair's quality. I try to avoid blow-drys in all circumstances except for a wedding or a shoot. I only do them once every 40-50 days. You can try to be yourself and embrace your hair naturally and don't need to depend on blow drys to ensure you look nice.

6. Food is the most important thing you consume, and also your hair!

Food

It's true that all mothers didn't play games when they linked eating a healthy diet with hair that is silky and long hairs. The impact on the condition and durability of my hair is mostly positive because of my healthful diet. I consume fish about five times per week and include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. I also consume healthy fats such as ghee, eggs, avocado, and coconut in addition to rice as part of my daily food regimen. It is vital to ensure good gut health in order to have attractive and healthy hair. If you're eating processed food or junk food, your skin and hair are likely to appear like it. Poor digestion can affect your scalp and skin. Make sure you get a balanced mix of protein, fats, and carbohydrates in your diet every day and notice a change in your hair's quality. And make sure you eat fresh, homemade meals.

7. Hair Supplements and Vitamin

In our fast-paced world, it can be difficult to get all the required nutrients and vitamins from food items, that's why it's essential to supplement our food intake with more nutrients. They can have a positive effect on your skin, hair, and to your overall health, I can attest to that. If you're thinking about which supplements are best for hair, here's the answer.

I've taken Vitamin C 1000mg, Vitamin E B Complex 100, Omega 3 (2 tablets) daily, and one tablet of Vit D3 (Uprise) every 10 days. This was suggested by my doctor and nutritionist a couple of years ago, and I've been taking them since then. If you're experiencing severe hair loss, Biotin 5 mg daily for three months could do miracles. I've tested it previously and noticed a noticeable change. But, remember, this on its own won't be effective, you must comply with the rest of this article to get the supplements to be effective.

8. Use your Grandmas Hair Oil Mixtures

As you age discover that everything your grandmother and mother told you was accurate as was the great oil massage that you received every Sunday when you were a child. I still attempt to give my head a massage every 10 days, using an oil mix made of coconut oil that is hot and olive oil, topped with castor oils (do not overheat the mixture too much) In other instances you can mix coconut oil and curry leaves, then heat it until the curry leaves become black, and then apply the oil on my scalp. This is great also for hair that is gray. My grandmother and mother would insist on massaging hair once a week to ensure that blood circulation improves. It is also possible to use simple coconut oil old ghee, or whatever you like. Apply it for an hour or so let your hair absorb it, and then rinse it off. Try this at least once a month for 3 months to observe the change.

9. Hair Colour

Coloring your hair is a fascinating experience but be aware of the massive damage it can cause. If you're trying to maintain healthy hair, keep your hair color as far as possible. I had it done two years ago because I was dissatisfied with my appearance. I must admit that my hair was so dry, and my ends were completely damaged. It took me a while to restore my hair's health and health. So if you're looking to color your hair make sure you take proper treatment, including hair treatments and oil massages to ensure that you are repairing the damage.

Do I want to dye my hair a second time? Absolutely, but most likely every two years.
If you're looking to how to cover your greys, go for any color that is ammonia-free. I enjoy Dia Richesse, a brand from Loreal.

10. Hair Spas and Treatments

Hair Spas and Treatments

If your hair is damaged from coloration or other reasons, there's not an appropriate time to avail treatment for your hair. Of course, these treatments have to be performed continuously over a long period of time (one session won't make a significant difference) but they've shown positive results. There are many alternatives available at salons today and you should explore them to see which one you like best. Personally, I don't enjoy treatments that leave your hair always flat or straight, so I stay clear of these treatments. Actually, I've recently tried Olaplex several times and noticed the change. I usually have this done in any beauty salon located in Dubai as well as Mumbai.

You can also try Olaplex treatments at home(buy it through the below links) and then get the first one in a salon to check out the results and you can test it at home, too. It is also possible to purchase their conditioner and shampoo (I've heard that it's fantastic). I've also tried an appointment for their filler treatment and was impressed by the results. They were much better than Olaplex and I had it done in a hair salon located in Mumbai and I will certainly have another session in the near future. The important thing is to experiment with different options and find out what works best for your hair type, once you've found the right solution, you should take a couple of sessions and stick to it. I highly suggest these two methods.

11. Dandruff

It's crucial to realize that dandruff's cause is an itchy skin that has fallen off the scalp. It's super dry and itchy. It's not something that is serious and can be certainly treated. First of all, the primary reasons for dandruff are poor diet or lifestyle, skin irritation bad hair products, or hygiene problems (not washing hair too long) as well as dry hair, stress, and fungal infections. It is therefore essential to take care of all these things and also apply these home solutions. If you are still not able to improve, then you must see an expert dermatologist.

Home Treatments (be constant and test these often for a month or so to see a change):

  • Pure tea and coconut oil head massages using tree oil

  • Massage lemon juice on your scalp, and allow it to sit for five minutes. I would suggest testing a small amount of lemon juice onto a tiny portion of your scalp to begin to determine if it really hurts you, dilute the juice by adding water.

  • Make a mask for your hair comprised of yogurt, and leave it on for a few minutes before taking a shower.

  • Combine half a cup of Apple Cider Vinegar with half a cup of water. Massage it gently on your scalp, and let it sit for approximately 10aEUR"15 minutes. Rinse it off using cold water. Repeat this procedure regularly over the course of several days until you start getting the results.

  • Mash two bananas using one avocado. Apply it all on your scalp, where itchy. Allow it to sit for a minimum of 30 mins. Rinse it off by using cold water. Repeat this every day until the itchiness disappears or diminishes.

12. Premature Greying

This is among the most pressing issues of our time, but because it's irreversible, I've decided to stop being concerned about it. A large portion of us particularly within regions like the Middle East face the problem of premature graying. In some instances, it may be due to genetics an autoimmune condition stress, or perhaps none of the above. Whatever the reason there is nothing you can do to hair that is already gray. For the ones that are not, try and put on a water filter, check your vitamin levels, especially B12, zinc, and copper, do headstands/handstands every day so that the blood flow increases and try home remedies like:

  • Cook curry leaves with coconut oil until it turns dark. After that, put the mix aside and let it sit for a bit to cool. After the oil has cooled down, you can massage your hair with the oil beginning at the roots, and working up to the tips. I like to apply this every week, at a minimum.

  • Mix 3-4 tsp in onion juice with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Massage it into your scalp and wash it off in 30 minutes.

  • Take a spoonful of Blackstrap Molasses mixed with warm water every morning. it's thought to be the most effective way to prevent premature graying and hair loss.

  • Massage your hair using amla oil every 2 days.

  • Massage your hair using pure Ghee.

  • Between two and three every week, you should eat one teaspoon of sesame seed black each day to reduce and possibly reverse the process of graying.

  • One of the simplest methods of coloring the hair you have is to make an intense cup of coffee and let it cool and then, pour the coffee into your hair, and then massage it using your fingers. Allow it to sit on your hair for around 20 minutes, after which it will make your hair dark brown. Then, wash the coffee out with water that is cold.

  • Heat organic Amla powder in coconut oil, stirring until it begins to smoke. Allow the mixture to cool. Massage it gently onto your scalp, then spread it throughout the long length.

  • Heating Curry, leave it with coconut oil until it is black. Massage your hair using this oil on a daily basis.

13. Do you have to cut your hair regularly?

Cut hair

It is essential to maintain your hair's health and that is why you have to cut it regularly. How often do you need to cut it? It all depends on the texture of your hair and growth. If you're looking to make your hair grow longer, wait approximately 4 to 5 months before you cut. But, it is important to monitor the quality of your hair. As an example, my hair is growing very quickly but my bottom isn't as thick, so it begins looking like a thin tail and appears to be unhealthy. So yes, I love growing my hair, however, when I start to detect the thin ends, I have a trim of approximately an inch. A little trimming can make huge changes, as you eliminate split ends and hair appears healthier and better. I have a trim every 4 months and it appears healthy and begins to increase in size. Therefore, I would suggest any time between 3 and 6 months based on your hair's condition.

14. Homemade Hair masks

Home remedies are the most effective. Every 15 days, I experiment with some homemade hair masks depending on the ingredients I have at home. I am constantly trying different hair masks and ingredients that I have in the fridge.

  • Yoghurt + Eggs + Honey

  • Olive Oil + Avocado + Honey

  • Coconut Oil + Honey

  • 2 egg yolks + Coconut Oil

  • Mashed banana, olive oil + honey

  • Wash your hair with alcohol, rub it around, and then rinse using cold water (after shampoo and conditioner)

15. Hairfall

Hairfall

The most delicate subjects and also crucial.
Hair loss is the most frequently referred to issue by everyone in the present. However is very normal to shed a bit of hair each day. So don't worry even if you discover some hair strands scattered around. The issue is when there are many more. There are many factors that can cause hair loss and they must all be addressed to achieve outcomes.
  • One of the most common causes of hair loss is stress. Therefore, first try relaxing and living a more relaxed lifestyle, being less stressed. Practice lots of yoga, meditate, and try to keep your mind calm every moment. Make frequent trips outside of the city and take a break.

  • Get your blood tests done. You may suffer from iron and magnesium deficiencies, which is why your hair loss is accelerating. As well, hormonal issues such as PCOD and thyroid could trigger hair loss. Look for these issues and get them treated immediately.

  • Change your diet. Include plenty of nuts, fruits vegetables, ghee avocado, coconut eggs, fish, etc. A good diet helps in hair growth.

  • Do not wash your hair using hot water. The pores are left open and hair is sucked out. Clean it by using cold water each and every time, and at the very least your last rinse should be done with cold water.

  • biotin is considered to be one of the most effective vitamins for hair growth. Try it three times a month and you'll notice some improvement. However, you should consult your doctor prior to using it. I've tried it a number of times, and I'm sure of it.

  • Other supplements and vitamins that help promote the growth of hair (list is given in the previous paragraph).

  • I've also been told the idea that Black Strap Molasses can be a fantastic solution for all of these issues. (I never tried it, but it was recommended to me by a dermatologist)

  • Massage your scalp regularly to boost the flow of blood to the scalp. I'm currently testing the well-known Bringraj oil by Forest Essentials.

  • Make use of a water filter if you live in the Middle East.

  • Make sure you tie your hair during the night when you are sleeping. I typically braid them.
    Drink a glass of Celery juice each day as well as a juice containing amla in it. It's good for your hair and skin.

The solutions listed above in combination will perform, but don't anticipate instant results. The most important thing is to stay conscientious. Test this in three consecutive months, and you'll surely be awestruck.

18. Don't wash your hair using hot water.
The most important point to keep in mind is that you should not wash your hair with hot water! It's the most typical error we make. We don't know that hot water can leave your pores wide open which weakens hair strands, results in direct hair loss frizz, and reduces the volume of hair while leaving your scalp dry. However cold water can close your pores and bring shine and luster to your hair.

Be Happy & Grateful

Sometimes, in all of this, we can neglect to appreciate things that we are blessed with within our lives. If you're concerned about hair issues, take a moment to be grateful that you have the hair you want on your head. most people don't and would like to be in your shoes. Make sure you're well and forget about the smallest issues that are solvable effortlessly. Enjoy your life with a positive attitude and it will show on the outside. In the end, you should be yourself and accept the way you are and your hair, and body, but don't forget to take good care of it. We're all gifted, and fortunate in every way. So ensure that you take care of the things that God provided us with. Make time each day to be awestruck by the things you've got, and to solve the issue since everything is able to be fixed in the end, isn't it?
