But let’s get to know a few general tips for developing a hair care routine:

  1. Determine your hair type and texture: You need to figure out some general knowledge regarding your own hair such as hair type (curly, wavy, straight etc.), texture (smooth, silky etc.) as these are the basic traits of your hair which help develop a haircare routine
  2. Wash your hair regularly: Depending on your hair type and preference an individual can go for washing their hair once a day, semi-regularly etc. It also depends on factors such as how sensitive your hair is to products. Try not to use harsh products for your hair
  3. Use a deep conditioning treatment to nourish your hair: To help nourish and moisture your hair you can go for deep conditioning treatments which will help keep your hair soft and silky.
  4. Protect your hair from any sort of heat damage: Do not use flat irons, curling irons, hair dryers etc. as these heat styling tools damage your hair over time. If you do want to go for them, use heat protectant sprays and avoid using high heat settings for the tools.
  5. Avoid usage of harsh chemicals: As we mentioned before, avoid using harsh products at all costs. Bleach, relaxers etc. are a few of the examples of harsh chemicals damaging your hair. If you want to reduce hair damage due to hair dandruff and are looking for a shampoo for hair fall, try going for sulfate-free shampoos
  6. Protect your hair while sleeping: Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent breakage while you sleep. You can also tie your hair up in a loose bun or braid to keep it from getting tangled.
