Solving your queries regarding lockdown hair care
As we get stuck indoors and the worries surrounding our hair get us too stressed, our minds get flooded by questions of what and how we need to take good care of our hair so that the period of self-isolation doesn’t take a toll on the condition of our hair.
Here are some expert answers to your many queries of how to keep your hair fabulous until you have access to hair care specialists and saloons -
Is it OK to wash hair each day?
While washing hair every day is no harmful and a necessity considering the usual hectic schedules and our exposure to dust and dirt, but during the period of shutdown when we find ourselves indoors most of the time, it is unnecessary to clean hair every day.
Everyday washing could prevent natural oils of the scalp to nourish the roots and strands. Thus it is suggested that you wash on an alternate basis or twice a week so as to allow your hair and scalp some natural rejuvenation.
How should I trim my hair while stuck in home?
As you stay indoors for the time period, your fringes will overgrow and this could mess up your style. While you have no party or function to be at, still the occasional Instagram clicks could lose a couple of likes if you don’t seem your best.
If your hair is in desperate need of a trim, we suggest that you resist the temptation to reach for a pair of scissors and chop your fringes, instead you could experiment with certain hairstyles and use sprays to set your looks.
Should I tie my hair when sleeping?
It is mostly up to your personal choice whether you prefer sleeping with losing hair or tying it in a braid. Anything you feel comfortable in is suggested. However, we must avoid tying hair too tightly as it could cause breakage of strands.
We must avoid all ways which tighten the hair and actually pull on the roots. The rest is all fine as long as you are comfy!
I have a lot of dandruff, what can I do to prevent it?
Dandruff, itchiness and hair loss mostly occurs when we leave our hair unattended for longer periods. As the lockdown has made most of us lazy and bored, the expert for dandruff treatment in India suggests that you must regularly wash your scalp as well as hair with off-the-shelf anti-dandruff products or try basic natural remedies for the same.
My hair color is starting to fade. How can I control it?
If your hair color is fading, we would suggest that you lower the frequency of washing even though it is something that you have to compromise on. With the use of mild conditioners, cold water, and gentle scrubbing you can balance cleanliness and prevent color fading as well.
