Budget Friendly Daily Hair care Routine Steps

Scalp Massage: I massage my scalp 3-4 times a week for about 5 minutes. This promotes blood circulation and keeps my scalp healthy.
Hair Washing: I wash my hair every 4-5 days in winter and twice a week in summer. Always brush your hair before washing!
Conditioning: Apply conditioner from mid-length to the ends of your hair. Never apply it on your scalp.
Drying: Pat or squeeze your hair with a towel instead of rubbing it. Let it air dry before styling.
Styling: Use heat-free methods, like curl bands or socks, to create curls overnight.

“The primary reasons that your hair are dry and frizzy are – hot water showers, excessive shampooing, over-styling, using the wrong products containing sulphates and alcohol that causes the hair ends to dry up, and brushing the hair incorrectly.” -Dr. Rinky Kapoor

To make this spray, you’ll need:

5-6 sprigs of rosemary
2 onions
2 cups of water

Boil the rosemary and onions in water for 15 minutes. Let it cool, then strain and bottle it. Spray once a day on your scalp.

Flaxseed Gel Mask

This gel is great for softening and adding shine to your hair. Here’s how to make it:

30g flaxseed
1 liter of water

Boil for 5 minutes, then simmer for 20 minutes until it thickens. Cool and apply to your hair for 30-60 minutes before washing it out.

Understanding Your Hair Type

Before starting, it’s crucial to know your scalp type. Here’s how to determine it:

Do a gentle shampoo test before bed.
In the morning, check a tissue placed on different areas of your scalp.

Results:

If the tissue is oily, you have an oily scalp.
If it’s a mix of oily and dry, you have a combination scalp.
If it’s completely dry, you have a dry scalp.
If your scalp is red, it indicates sensitivity.

Diet Matters!

Your hair is primarily made of keratin, a tough protein. A balanced diet rich in:

Biotin
Vitamin E
Omega fatty acids

Common Hair Care Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid these common mistakes that could be damaging your hair:

Smoking and excessive consumption of fried foods and sweets.
Ignoring scalp health and overusing products.
Using high-fragrance shampoos that may contain harmful chemicals.

Washing Routine

Here’s how I wash my hair:

Wet your hair with cool water (or lukewarm in winter).
Apply your homemade shampoo, massaging gently with your fingertips.
Rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue.
Condition from mid-length down, and rinse again.
Pat dry with a towel and let air dry.

Shampoo and Conditioner Use

How often to wash your hair? It depends on your scalp type:

3-4 times a week if you sweat a lot.
2-3 times a week is sufficient for normal scalps.

Always remember to:

Shampoo gently in a circular motion.
Condition primarily the ends, avoiding the scalp.

Oiling and Application Techniques

Oiling your hair once or twice a week is beneficial. Here’s how to do it right:

Warm the oil slightly for better absorption.
Apply it gently without pulling or tugging at your hair.
Use a warm towel over your hair post-application for added effect.

Choosing Hair Products Wisely

When selecting hair products, avoid these chemicals used in shampoo and conditioner:

Parabens
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Artificial dyes

Instead, look for medicated herbal shampoos that are gentle on your hair.

Styling Hacks for Volume

For those with thin or curly hair, consider these volume hacks:

Use hair volumizing powder, like Urban Gabru, which contains natural ingredients.
Always apply styling products on dry hair to avoid damage.
Keep hair short if you frequently wear a helmet to avoid breakage.

Maintaining Length and Health

Regular trimming is essential! Here’s the guideline:

Cut every 5-7 weeks for fast growth.
Every 10-11 weeks for slower growth.
