Don’t DIY, wait for the salon

Avoid cutting your own hair during lockdown. You may do more harm than good. Wait till you can visit the salon.

No bleaching

Regular bleaching and highlighting can causes breakage and makes hair harder to grow out.

Go for clarifying shampoo or scalp scrub

Scalp condition is crucial to growing your hair, faster, healthier and stronger. Experts recommend scalp scrub formulas with salicylic acid and glycolic acid.

Use hair-care products with targeted ingredients

Look at the ingredients and choose what you need.

Space out shampoo days

Daily use of cleansers can cause dryness and scalp irritation.

Treat yourself to a deep-conditioning treatment

Like the scalp, the rest of your hair needs nourishment. A deep-conditioning treatment should be part of your regular regimen.

No bath towel, go for snag-free

Use an old cotton T-shirt instead of the towel, which pulls at your hair.

Less heat damage

Less heat damage cuts down dryness and split ends.

Careful brushing

Brushing your hair detangles it, releases dead cells, improves scalp circulation and distributes oil throughout your hair shaft. Brush gently.

Go for a silk pillowcase

Cotton pillowcases can pull moisture from your hair overnight. Silk ones keep hair healthier.

Gua sha for your scalp

Try gua sha now on your scalp to stimulate hair follicles.

Use easy hair ties

Wear a ponytail lower for less stress. Use scrunchies or hair ties that are easy.

Biotin, iodine and zinc

These supplements help hair health.

Iron, protein and healthy fat

Eat foods rich in these nutrients.

Less stress

Stress and hormonal shifts are the main factors behind hair loss and thinning in women. Feel good inside. That’s where good health really comes from.
