A good hair day is what each of us desires, right? But, how often do we actually experience the perfect hair day, sans any frizz or dryness? Well, that’s not a regular scenario for most of us.
One of the shortcuts that we usually opt for is to quickly visit a salon, spend some good bucks, and get the perfect hair spa/hair treatment to attain shiny, lustrous locks. But, that’s just a temporary solution. In fact, undue exposure to heating tools can damage your hair in the long run. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain the natural health of your hair. And, that can be done with the help of some tips and tricks, which, if followed correctly, will result in soft and silky smooth hair. So, if you’re wondering ‘how to get silky hair naturally?’, we’re here to help!
One of the most crucial things to remember is to protect your hair from getting damaged and coarse. While it may not be possible to completely give up on heat styling products, you can coat your hair first by applying a heat protectant which adds a secure layer over your tresses, and then proceed with using the hair straightener/curler. Ensure to use these products at the right temperature and do not use them too frequently or for an extended period.
While this may seem like an outdated one, it is extremely effective. A good champi session goes a long way in providing the right amount of nourishment for your hair. Depending on your hair type, indulge in a warm oil massage at home twice/thrice a week. For soft, smooth and nourished hair, use an oil like Parachute Advansed Aloe Vera-enriched Coconut Hair Oil. Frequent hair oiling maintains the natural oils in your hair, keeps your hair free of dryness and damage, and keeps your hair in good health.
We know that a hot water bath feels soothing and energizes your mind and body, but your hair doesn’t agree to that! Washing hair with hot water can strip off the essential oils and moisture from your tresses, leaving them dry and brittle. Instead, rinse with lukewarm or cold water that will retain the moisture content in your hair and help in strengthening your hair strands.
While a good dose of sunlight early in the early morning is good for your body, overexposure to sun rays can result in hair damage and dryness. The UV rays can damage the hair cuticles so ensure to cover your head with a scarf, whenever you step out in sunlight.
Some simple habits can actually bring a good change to your hair. One of them is upgrading your pillow cover to a satin one. A cotton pillowcase absorbs the moisture from your hair and also reduces the natural oils from your scalp, which leaves your hair dull and dry. A good silk pillow cover helps reduce the friction while also maintaining the oil balance in your hair.
Rinsing your hair every day can suck up the natural sebum from your hair. So, ditch the daily hair showers and wash your hair with a mild shampoo/conditioner for twice or thrice a week.
To lock in the moisture and silkiness in your tresses, a good conditioner is a must in your hair care regimen. After shampooing your hair, always ensure to apply a conditioner to the hair tips (do not use it on the scalp) and leave it on for 3-5 minutes. Then, rinse it with cold water. You can also indulge in deep hair conditioning by using leave-in conditioners overnight. This adds a protective layer to the locks, preventing radical damage.
By making a few adjustments to our hair care routine, we can achieve healthier, more desirable hair. A key step is introducing a great hair oil. Choose a hair oil that suits your hair type and follow the proper application techniques to obtain soft and smooth locks.
