Hair hacks we swear by!

With the kind of unpredictable weather that Mumbai is sporting nowadays, one of the biggest struggles that girls are going through is maintaining their hair! The team at HP have thus compiled a list of hair hacks for both boys and girls to use to get healthy, nourished hair in no time!

• Oil

We know most of the people do not choose to apply oil in their hair, but trust us when we say this, you really need to oil your hair atleast twice every week! Your hair requires the oil for it to become stronger!

HP recommends – Anveya Moroccan ColdPressed Argan Oil

Parachute Advanced Aloe Vera Hair Oil

Bajaj Almond Drops Hair Oil

Kate Blanc Cosmetics ColdPressed Jojoba Oil

• Hair Masks

1. Eggwhite and lemon

2 egg whites whisked well + half a lemon cut – Use the cut lemon to apply the egg white onto your scalp, rubbing it well. Leave on for 15 minutes and then wash off with cold water. 

1. Yogurt, honey, oil

Mix 2 tbsp yogurt, 2 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp coconut oil into a smooth paste. Apply evenly onto hair (including scalp). Leave on for 30 minutes and then wash off with cold water. 

HP notes – This mask is really helpful in not only nourishing your hair but also gets rid of dandruff, leaving your hair shiny and healthy!

• Shampoo+Conditioner

It is so crucial to decide the best shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. A tip while washing your hair (recommended by our stylists as well) is to first apply a little bit of shampoo onto your scalp only, rub it well and wash off. Then, apply shampoo and conditioner to the rest of your hair like you usually do and wash off with cold water. Try using Sulphate-free shampoos for best results!

HP recommends – Mildy shampoo (It is an every day shampoo and honestly one of the best we have tried!)

Body Shop Rainforest Radiance Shampoo (Coloured Hair)

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Shampoo with Argan Oil/ Nourish and Replenish

OGX Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo/Thick and Full Biotin and Collagen Shampoo

• Do’s 

1. Oil your hair at least twice a week. Trust us, it is necessary.
2. Get a haircut that you will be able to maintain, not one that fits the norm. You’re responsible for your hair, not the society or the current fashion trend.
3. Do allow your hair to dry naturally as often as possible. Using dryers, hair straightening and curling tools only damage the hair further.
4. Trim your split ends regularly for healthier-looking, bouncy hair!

• Don’ts

1. Don’t keep running your hand through your hair (especially for guys). Your hair will become greasy.
2.  Don’t tie your hair back too tightly and never when it is wet. It not only results in hair fall but also damages the roots severely.
3. Don’t use warm water to wash your hair. It results in frizzy hair.
4. Prolonged sun exposure also damages the hair. Try to avoid staying in the sun for too long or protect your hair with a scarf or a hat!

 

It is not necessary but using hair serums add shine and locks in the moisture keeping the hair healthy and nourished!

That’s about it for hair hacks! If you’ve tried any of the above or know of any other hacks, let us know in the comments!
