Athlete Jyothi Yarraji, India’s fastest 100m hurdler, is a shining example of what one can achieve with grit and persistence, and is ready to give her best this year in Paris. Parachute Advansed Jasmine Hair Oil has partnered with the renowned athlete to discover and celebrate her various avatars beyond being a sportswoman.  In a recently released YouTube video, Jyothi is seen donning many hats as she races on the track,poses for a selfie with a little fan, paints, and spends quality time with her loved ones. The video ends with her saying “I #ShineBejhijhak,”, a testament to her own high spirits, and of women like her. And what else is shining in the video, is certainly her long, strong, gorgeous hair!

Like Jyothi, there are many more female athletes who practice hard and slay it at their games. As their hair undergoes sun damage, weather-induced damage, and more, a good hair care routine to prevent damage is imperative. Let us look at a hair care routine that can do the job for female athletes and their hair withstanding different situations. 

The Ideal hair care Routine for Female Athletes 

A nourishing pre-shampoo oil massage with a lightweight hair oil, thorough cleansing of the scalp, and sealing hydration post wash are important hair care steps for anyone but especially for women who are in sports and have higher chances of sweat accumulation on the scalp, sun damage, and damage due to different weather conditions. 

Pre-wash Hair Care: 

• Owing to intense physical movements, an athlete is likely to sweat more. Opt for a lightweight yet nourishing hair oil which provides the essential nourishment, and can be easily washed off. This is an important step to get manageable hair which can be easily tamed while you train. The Parachute Advansed Jasmine Hair Oil is an ideal pick, due to its lightweight nature. Pour some oil onto your palm, massage your scalp and through your hair, leave it on for 30-45 minutes, and wash off with a gentle shampoo. 
• The goodness of coconut for hair is known to all. The Parachute Advansed Jasmine Hair Oil is a coconut-based hair oil, and is capable of penetrating upto 10X deeper into the hair, providing intense nourishment. Another key ingredient in the Parachute Advansed Jasmine Hair Oil is Vitamin E, which is known to repair hair damage, restores hair health and makes hair shiny.       
• While a female sportsperson might not have the time for a long hair care ritual, applying a quick DIY hair mask before shampoo once a week will help with soft, strong and nourished hair. Consider easily doable and effective recipes such as a curd and honey mask, or an egg and curd hair mask. Mix a teaspoon of Parachute Advansed Jasmine Hair oil for some added nourishment, and to make your hair mask smell amazing.

Hair Wash: 

It is wise to choose a gentle shampoo which will clean the scalp without leaving hair dry and brittle. 

Post-wash Hair Care:

• After a hair wash, using  a conditioner to seal the hydration and smoothen the hair is of utmost importance, especially for a sportswoman who is set to get back to her routine training or exercise the very day or next day. Not missing your conditioner will ensure your hair stays manageable throughout. 
• To undo hair damage caused by UV rays, chlorinated water, or extreme weather conditions, using a deep conditioning mask once a week after hair wash is a great habit. This is also handy for busy athletes who might not be able to devote enough time for weekly  DIY masks before hair wash. These masks fulfill the hair’s hydration needs, nourish hair deeply, reduce chances of breakage, and make hair healthy and strong. 
• The Parachute Advansed Jasmine Hair Oil is a good option to use on washed hair as well. Apply a few drops on the length of your hair. This not only makes hair soft and keeps it frizz-free and manageable, but also makes hair smell great. Whether you are training, playing a match, traveling, or attending an invite, manageable and beautiful-smelling hair is always a plus point. 

Good Hair Beyond Just Haircare

Women in sports are physically active, which is quite a boon for hair. Regular physical movements boost blood circulation in cells, resulting positively in hair growth. Outside of that, a diet rich in protein, fiber, good fats, and minerals ensures that one’s hair health stays at its optimum. Not to forget, effective stress management, good sleep, and regular scalp massages with a good hair oil go a long way too!

While women break norms and #ShineBeJhijhak, Parachute Advansed got their hair care needs covered!
