Hair Tips: Looking for thicker and stronger hair strands but confused on how to get your perfect hair cleansing journey started?
For most of us, hair care often takes a backseat in our busy life schedules. Thankfully, healthy hair starts with the basics: washing method and frequency. Over-washing could strip your scalp of natural oils while under-washing could lead to buildup and scalp issues.
In this piece of information, we would be reading about some time-proven, essential hair washing tips and precautions for lustrous hair locks without using harsh chemicals.
Perfect Hair Tips-How To Determine Your Ideal Hair Washing Frequency?
The golden rule of hair washing depends on your lifestyle, hair type and scalp health.
DON'T MISS
- Oily Hair: Ideally, you should cleanse every 1-2 days. This is because excess production of sebum could clog pores, resulting in acne or dandruff. You must always avoid hot water as that stimulates more oil.
- Dry Or Curly Hair: You should wash your hair every 3-5 days. Natural oils (sebum) helps in protecting curls and hydration. Over-washing hair helps in drying them out, resulting in breakage and frizz.
- Normal Hair: Wash your hair twice or thrice a week so balancing of natural oil is maintained without stripping moisture.
- Fine Or Thinning Hair: You should wash your hair every other day. Hair volume gets boosted by gentle washing as it removes residue that weighs strands down.
Washing Hair Naturally
Say goodbye to hair shampoos and cleansers with sulfates and parabens! Embrace natural washing with baking soda and apple cider vinegar rinse. To get started, mix one tablespoon of baking soda in 1 cup of lukewarm water. Now, massage the blend into wet scalp for 2-4 minutes, focusing on hair roots. Thereafter, you should rinse thoroughly. Follow it with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in 1 cup of water as a final rinse. Leave it for 2-4 minutes and then rinse with cool water.
You could even try out blending 2 tablespoons of besan (gram flour) with yogurt or water into a paste. Apply this paste to damp hair and scrub gently for 3-6 minutes before rinsing it with lukewarm water. Optionally, you may use a natural aloe vera gel conditioner.
