Its all about treating your hair in the right manner. They are a delicate part of our body and add beauty to our looks, so they should get what they deserve – “Care”.

Here, we tell you how to avoid hair hazards and thereby improve its quality and texture:

Combing/brushing – It is not only essential to use a good quality comb or brush, but it is also important to keep them clean. Good quality brushes/combs will not poke your scalp while combing, the strokes will be gentle. Moreover, it won’t pull your hair or cause static. Good quality brushes will prevent breakage. So never compromise on the quality of your hair accessories. Also try to keep it clean by washing it with warm water and soap once in a fortnight.

Heated instruments - Use branded heated instruments and not without heat protecting serum or spray. Avoid using heated tool excessively, heat damage is the worst damage that can happen to hair. If you cannot avoid its usage, then at least take care not to use the blow dryer at one place for long, always use the diffuser attachment, blast cool air once you have set the hair, do not use a dryer on wet hair, use it on damp hair. This way you will minimize the damage caused to your lovely locks.

Hair wash – Wash your hair with cold water or lightly warm water. Cold water is best for your locks since it does not open the cuticles, which doesn’t make your hair vulnerable to damage. If you cannot tolerate cold water, use lukewarm water. Avoid hot water baths, they can dry up the scalp and open the cuticles.
