HABITS TO SWEAR BY IF YOU LOVE YOUR HAIR
Imagine your hair is a real person. She’s there for you through thick and thin. She stays put no matter what you throw at her. She takes all of the harmful chemicals you might have slathered on her over the years. You don’t even acknowledge how precious her presence is and you take her for granted.
And there comes a time where she decides she can’t take it anymore. She decides to leave you. That’s when you realize you didn’t take good care of her and its time for a lifestyle change. Thank heavens that she is generous and forgiving in nature. Taking the right steps, consistently, you still have a chance with her. Here are some steps that you can adopt as a lifestyle if you want your hair to stick around.
THROW OUT ALL THE CHEMICALS
By chemicals, we mean SLES, sulphates, parabens and petrolatum. These chemicals used on a daily basis gets absorbed into your bloodstream and get stored in your scalp, sometimes causing dangerous ailments. Sulphates are the most common element found in most hair care products as they ease the cleansing process.
Those shampoos that lather lusciously and keeps the foam intact? You might want to read the labels to see what ingredients are. Triethanolamine, DEA, TEA, cocamide DEA, cocamide MEA, DEA-cetyl phosphate, diethanolamine, DEA oleth-3 phosphate, lauramide DEA, linoleamide MEA, myristamide DEA, oleamide DEA, stearamide MEA, TEA-lauryl sulfate, methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben. The above chemicals are used as emulsifiers, for fragrance, pH adjusters and preservatives. Certain combinations react and form carcinogens which are absorbed through your skin.
Looking through the labels, every time you buy hair care products helps in remembering those names of chemicals that could be harmful to you. Once you memorise it, the next time it gets easier. If you come under the group that buy hair care online, you can read through labels there too. Websites now provide clear and precise images of each product and their compositions so that it’s just as easy reading them at a store.
CHOOSE ORGANIC & NATURAL
There are innumerable brands devoted to producing hair care products that claim their efficacy. True that it might be effective but are they doing any good in the long run? They might be harming you in the long run.
Organic and natural products use ingredients derived from plants. Natural ingredients are being used over the centuries to address skin and hair issues. Ancient Indian recipes still prevail their efficacy not only in function but by causing no harm to our bodies.
The power of nature-derived ingredients are that they don’t treat a certain spot, they enhance the overall health and well-being. For example, bringaraj is a common ingredient found in ayurvedic hair care recipes. Bringaraj treats and prevents baldness by increasing blood circulation in the scalp and driving more nutrients from the blood to the hair follicles and thus promoting hair growth.
Whereas chemicals artificially address issues whenever applied, gets absorbed into the bloodstream. It may cause allergic reactions and wear away for some, but for some, it may accumulate in their bodies causing diseases.
WHENEVER POSSIBLE, AVOID HEAT STYLING
In a world where hot tools are available everywhere and professional ranges are being made available to end-users, it may be hard to resist. People are always on the look-out for the next best styling tool. When everybody is at their gorge-hair day, you may think twice to go au natural. We get it, sometimes it can stop you from bringing you’re A-game.
If you care for your hair’s long and healthy life you might have to sacrifice on the blow-outs. You are aware of how damaging heat styling is. And it takes forever to recover from the wear and tear. If you think it’s absolutely necessary for you to heat style, prioritise this for the most important occasions or events. This way, your hair has the time to regain its natural state.
Even when done occasionally, make sure to use heat protectors before you apply heat. This reduces the damage to a great extent.

LIMIT WASHING HAIR
Avoid religiously washing your hair. It strips off natural oils produced by scalp that your hair needs for a healthy life span. Go for a hair wash when you feel it needs one. It may differ for different people. For an oily scalp, the excess oils may clog pores and may need a gentle cleanse once in two or three days. For a dry scalp, a wash is necessary when the natural oils have accumulated enough that you start to feel sticky. This may be once in three to four days.
In a week wash your hair two to three times depending on your physical activities. If you sweat a lot and live in a warm and humid climate, wash accordingly. Whereas if you live a cold place, the frequency at which you need a hair wash is comparatively less.
Buy hair care that uses only mild and gentle ingredients. This way you can make sure your hair doesn’t lose its moisture and stays hydrated. A healthy diet and drinking plenty of water also plays a vital role in hair health. Combine using natural care with a nutrition-rich diet and you can convince your hair to stay strong and healthy.
