gorgeous hair because it makes us feel beautiful on the inside. But the
predicament remains: How do we get there? The process is too tedious, isn’t it?

• It all comes down to the right shampoo
Rule no #1 is to avoid
all kinds of cheap and unreliable shampoos and only opt for shampoos that
guarantee damage control, because that’s when they really work wonders on your
hair. Dandruff shampoos make a bigger difference as they cleanse your scalp,
even if you don’t have any dandruff. So you know what to do. An bonus would be
a shampoo that doubles up as a conditioner and hence does all the work that you
don’t have to worry for later!

Speaking of conditioners,
not only are they essential for heat protection, but they make your hair super
shiny and take care of it as they are a better source of coating hair. Great
conditioners are the secret to voluminous and lustrous locks. Shh. Don’t tell
anyone.

• Oil
One of the most basic yet
most underrated liquids that keeps our hair alive from the within: Oil! They
make everything better- improve hair growth, result in shinier hair, reduce
dandruff and get rid of the unwanted dry skin as also other unnecessary
particles. Ayurveda, as most of us are aware is the idea of a balance in bodily
systems which uses diet and herbal treatment. Luckily for us, there are hair
oils in Patanjali, ranging from Coconut,
Amla, and Almonds, that can also be used for dandruff to make the process
easier!

• Cold water
Simply put, heat or hot
water can reduce the volume of your hair. If cold is too cold for you, go for
lukewarm water that doesn’t tear up your strands, even if you end up with a
cold later! As for conditioning after the nourishing shampoo, it works best
with cold water to leave you feeling like a princess and utterly satisfied with
your hair.

The next time you don’t
sleep well or are stressed out because of something’s been bothering you: think
again. It might be the reason you’re losing hair. Literally. Not everyone knows
that our hormones also play a vital role in hair growth, which can ultimately
be poor, if the hormones stay unbalanced. So, work towards your health and have
a balanced lifestyle that is easy for you to maintain and beneficial for your
locks.

might hurt: Avoid heat styling.
The first tip to heat
styling goes: don’t do it. It’s a common phenomenon that it affects and damages
hair to a certain extent and no matter what your hairdresser may tell you, it’s
always a good option to avoid it so you don’t have any permanent damage to your
hair. If you absolutely must, use heat rollers and ones that have the heat
protectant spray to protect your lovely tresses.

• Trimming
Ugh, the very thought of
this is excruciatingly painful. It’s difficult to chop off hair when you
literally live with, and have grown (with) it all by yourself, however, this
only brings you a step closer to fuller and shinier hair. Trimming a little of
those unwanted split ends help hair prevent breakage and hence maintain a
healthy balance without all those split ends living with you throughout the
years.

It’s going to take some
work, yes. But it’s going to be worth it, because we’re all worth it!
