By Olivia Rahim | July 24, 2019

It is not an easy job to wake up every day with a perfect lustrous hair. Nowadays, it is quite a rare thing to have because of the increasing pollution in the air. Also, our lifestyle affects our hair negatively such as excessive drinking or smoking.

But there are still a few things you can do, and a few things you have to stop doing to make your dream of healthy, shiny hair come true. 

Here is a list of things you can do to achieve a healthy, lustrous hair:

1.     Nourishing with oil:

Take two teaspoons of hot coconut oil and massage your scalp with it giving a bit of extra pressure with your fingertips, or you can also use any essential oil on your scalp as it is safer than the commercialized hair care products out there as per https://hairinsights.com/. You can leave it all night and rinse with plain water and mild herbal shampoo in the next morning. Oil Massaging in your scalp stimulates the blood circulation in your scalp.

2.     Verify your hair type and go to parlors regularly:

Get a perfect haircut from a licensed salon. Verify the type of your hair and scalp, whether it is excessively oily or dry. If your scalp is dry, then focus on nourishing it more than shampooing, and if the oil secretion rate of your scalp is higher, then choose a moisture-drenching shampoo.

In case you are not sure enough, take an expert’s suggestion. Also, focus on conditioning the lower ends of your hair.

3.     Brushing is beneficial:

Brushing or combing your hair for numerous times a day will help it shine and grow more by stimulating the blood supply and distributing sebum along the hair shaft, and try to use a wooden comb instead of a plastic one. Tie your hair in a single knot before going to bed.

4.     Apply a hair mask:

Prepare natural hair mask in the home with readily available products found in your kitchen.

Mix up two tablespoons of yogurt, one tablespoon of honey, and one teaspoon of olive oil in a bowl, after that, apply it on all over your hair. Leave for 30 minutes and rinse with mild shampoo and water.

Break an egg in a bowl, whisk it with few drops of lemon, one tablespoon of honey and milk, and you can also add two tablespoons of shea butter. Apply this pack on hair and leave for 30-40 minutes and rinse with mild herbal shampoo.

Green tea is enriched with antioxidants and prevents premature greying. Thus, take some hot water, soak green tea leaves or tea bags in it, and let it cool down. Rinse your hair with this liquid right after shampooing; it will work like a natural moisturizer for your hair.

Now, have a glance over the things you should not do with your hair:

1.     Stop experimentation:

There are tons of hair products in the market that come with various promises and huge price tags. Do not fall for their fake promises. Instead, try to take a specialist’s suggestion.

2.     Prohibit chemicals:

Say no to the chemical hair colors, and hair spa is never really beneficial for the health of your hair.  Say no to a dryer or straightener.

3.     Don’t expose your hair too much to the sun:

Sun rays can damage your hair and leaves it frizzy dry.

4.     Don’t tie damp hair:

Don’t lie down or tie up wet hair, and don’t use a dryer to dry it sooner.
