* Oil your hair: Massage your hair with hydrating or hydrating oils like argan, coconut, and jojoba. “Remember, don’t be aggressive with the massage (mushroom). Be kind,” she wrote in the post.
*Don’t shampoo your hair too much: We think more is better and often end up applying a lot of shampoo. But according to the expert, too much shampoo can dry out your hair. “I should use small amounts of shampoo, dilute it and use it only on the scalp. Even those who oil their hair should not use too much shampoo to wash off the oil,” she added.
* Leave the conditioner on a little longer: Apply the conditioner only to the ends of the hair and not to the scalp. “Some days, when you have time, you can even leave it conditioner for a little longer than usual, about 30 minutes or so and then wash it off with cold water. Avoid excessive washing after applying conditioner. A quick rinse to remove the conditioner is all you need,” she mentioned.
* Use soft, microfiber or bamboo towels while drying your hair: These are not harsh on the hair and also do not cause friction and breakage.
* Let your hair dry naturally: You can even use an anti-frizz serum. If you must use a dryer, use cool air instead of hot air. Dry only the scalp with the hair dryer.
Dr. Rashmi suggested supplements like RA Skin Hydration and Primerase+ to hydrate hair from within.
