• How To Prevent Rough Hair

When your hair loses moisture, it becomes dry, rough, and lifeless, making it difficult to style and manage. Split ends, on the other hand, indicate the end of your hair strand splitting into two or more parts, as a result of exposure to extreme weather, chemical treatment, excessive heating, etc. But split ends can’t be reversed, they can be prevented. Rough hair, on the other hand, is addressable with the right hair care.  In this blog, we'll address these two common hair issues caused by insufficient hydration and hair damage. This Independence Day, as we celebrate our hard-earned freedom, also take a step forward in eliminating split ends and rough hair for healthier, more manageable locks.

How To Prevent Split Ends 

• Use Deep Conditioner

Deep conditioning is an effective way to moisturise hair. It smoothens hair length, sealing in moisture, eventually making hair strands supple and nourished. Make sure you pick a deep conditioning mask which isn’t heavily loaded with proteins.

• Consider Trimming

Trimming is not limited for visuals but also for hair’s maintenance especially when it’s split ends. Removing split ends is the only way to get rid of it, and also to ensure that it doesn’t damage your hair further. A tiny bit of trimming once in a few months will make sure your hair stays free of split ends. 

• Limit Heating Tools

Straighteners, blow dryers, and curling irons are good but can do more harm than good with split ends. It’s best to avoid or limit their use as the heat can worsen your split ends. Consider drying your hair naturally. In case heat styling is inevitable, use a heat protectant before going ahead. 

• Don’t Rub Your Hair Vigorously

Once you are out of the shower, wrap your hair gently in a microfiber towel, and squeeze out excess water. Avoid rubbing your hair harshly, as this can cause breakage. Remember, while drying your hair, gentleness is the way to go. 

They say, prevention is better than cure. Consistent hair care, which includes regular oiling of hair, using a gentle shampoo and conditioner, and regular trimming, ensures you stay away from hair woes such as dryness and split ends. A hair oil containing the goodness of coconut oil and argan oil is a great product to use for nourished, smooth, and healthy hair. It penetrates your hair deeply, leaving it strong and healthy.

How To Prevent Rough Hair

• Avoid Frequent Hair Wash

Frequent hair wash should be avoided, especially when your hair’s becoming dry and rough. It’s advisable to wash your hair twice a week, and if it’s done more times than usual, it’s likely that your hair will run out of natural moisture, which results in brittleness and lifelessness. So avoid feeding the culprit, which in this case is dry scalp that leads to problems like rough and coarse hair. 

• Use Silk Pillowcase

Use a silk pillowcase, which is a game-changer compared to cotton or any other fabric. It gives your hair a smooth surface to glide over, reducing friction and the resulting damage. Plus, you'll notice your hair stays better hydrated and moisturised since the silk doesn't contribute to frizz, tangles, or brittleness.

• Apply DIY Conditioning Mask

Conditioning masks are essential to nourish your dry and rough strands; it’s the best answer to all those roughness caused by pollution, humidity, styling tools, chlorine water, etc. You might find countless DIY hair mask recipes which can be applied from the comfort of your space; a very effective DIY hair mask is a blend of raw honey and coconut oil. This blend makes hair smooth, soft, and hydrated.

• Hot Hair Oiling

Using hot oils can work wonders on dry and rough hair. Coconut and argan oil are especially amazing because they absorb quickly, spreading evenly and sealing cuticles with care. A hot oil treatment is a lifesaver if you're struggling with brittle and unmanageable strands – it never disappoints!

So this 15th August, say bye-bye to rough and split ends! Consider the techniques, tips, and opinions which are being shared above and keep dry hair concerns at bay. In both scenarios, proper oiling plays an instrumental role; in the end, healthy and shiny locks are a result of great hair care practices. So you better be equipped with the right hair oil, which addresses the issue on your face and keeps your hair stress away!
