Since you all are home due to the lockdown, you all must really pay attention to self care. This is the time when you can really indulge in all things nice and healthy for your skin and hair. We're going to emphasize more on hair care for this one time. Your hair is very fragile and needs utmost attention. And maintaining hair hygiene during the hot months of the year becomes very important.
Hence, we've got you some ways in which you can keep your hair smelling and looking fresh while you sit in the comfort of your home.
- First and foremost, wash your hair. Don't delay washing your hair. Even if you have a designated day of the week to wash your hair, do it on that day itself even if you're too lazy. Delaying hair wash can only cause more irritation in your hair as well as germ build-up which could also weaken your hair from the roots.
- You can take any shampoo of your choice and gently apply it on your scalp, section by section until you've covered all parts of your hair and scalp.
- Make sure you massage your scalp until the lather builds up. Be very careful as your nails can scratch the scalp skin and you might end up getting injuries. Use the tips of your fingers for a well-rounded massage.
- Rinse your hair well and if needed use another round of shampoo if you think your hair is greasy or if you've oiled your hair.
- Before you start to apply conditioner, you need to get rid of all the excess water from your hair by squeezing them. Many people apply conditioner on the scalp which is very wrong and damaging for the scalp. You're only supposed to apply conditioner to your long locks and leave it on for a few minutes for it to do its magic before yo wash it all off.
- You need to rinse your hair quite well each time you use a conditioner so that the product doesn't sit on your scalp and make it flaky.
- Once you come to the drying part, you need to ensure using a soft towel or an old, clean t-shirt to squeeze out all the water and pat them dry. Don't touch your hair too often during the drying process. Again, make sure your nails don't leave scratches on your sensitive scalp while you run your fingers through your hair.
