Get your tresses right for a gorgeous you

Are you heading for your favourite salon for a cropped and neat look just because you think it will get you through the sticky summer days and become gorgeous? Well, isn’t it more important to have healthy hair than long or short ones? Here, we have a few simple tips that can help you gain a stunning look instantly…

mega-3 rich diet

By now the words ‘healthy diet is must for healthy hair’ could be literally coming out of your ears. But the fact is still the same. Research proves omega-3 fatty acids keep your hair strong, healthy and shiny. So, have enough of spinach, almonds, walnuts sesame seeds, chia seeds, eggs and fish.

Get ‘carefully careless’
Using fingers and hair dryer diffuser attachment dry your straight hair by twisting sections or few strands. This will give you an easygoing look. Do not blow-dry completely.

Please your wavy hair

The texture of wavy or curly hair often feels like a curse. It lacks the bounce of curls and the luster of straight hair. Curly or wavy hair needs extra hydration. But waves can still look shiny and gorgeous if you use leave-in moisturiser and hair milk based shampoos and deep condition at least once a week.

No hot water please

Hot water opens the pores of the scalp and removes the moisture while cold water closes the pores, cuticles and seals the moisture. Also, the mantra is ‘more moisture -less frizz’. Just incase you still are averse to using cold water, warm water might could be more suitable for washing your hair.

Tips before a swim

During summers, most of us prefer to swim –at least occasionally. But chlorine water can leave your hair limp and damaged. Before you step into the pool, treat your hair to deep-conditioning mask and then tie it into a bun before covering it. Not only will it bar the sunlight, saltwater at the beach or the chlorine, but also give your hair an extra boost of softness and shine. For those wanting natural-looking highlights, just leave a few strands.

Avoid sprays
Hair sprays take away the moisture from hair leaving them brittle. Alcohol and ethanol have the same effect. Still if you must use a hair spray, opt for ones with natural ingredients and conditioners. They are more conditioning and neutralizing.
