I recently got a haircut after 7-8 months. The little discovery I made was that if you don't get a haircut every now and then, you're gonna have a tough time dealing with your hair.
As my hair is straight and silky, I go gaga when they get sticky or start having split ends.
So I tried to do these things:
Haircut:
This word is the key to managing good hair. Do not wait for years to get your hair chopped up. They can grow again. You need to keep them in condition. So when split ends start showing, go for a haircut.
Chemical Conditioners:
I'm a straight lover of conditioners. They have magical powers in them which softens the hair and makes them smooth. But do not add conditioner to your hair frequently. Twice a week would do. After all the little chemicals, the better.
Natural Conditioners:
Try putting an egg or beer on your hair. No kidding, this will work. Leave the beer or egg for 30 minutes on your hair and then wash them off. Then use shampoo and you will get silky hair.
But do not put them often. Twice a month would do.
Oiling:
When I was 6, my mom ruled over my hair. She oiled them thrice a week and I just cried. I'm not a big fan of oil but I can tell you one thing. After that time I'm grateful to mum for oiling my hair. If you want heavy volume for your hair and not thin strands like noodles, oil your hair once a week. The smell is gonna be intolerable but try to manage.
Avoid Hairsprays, Gels and Other Chemical Products:
Your hair is not a testing pallet. Yes, there are some interesting products which attracts you but once you're in this product trap, forget the shine of your natural hair.
Only on special occasions put hairsprays and never opt for gels.
P.S- For people with colored hair or streaks, ONLY use shampoos and conditioners for colored hair. Also those who are planning on getting your hair colored, try avoiding the red color as they loose the color in no time as mentioned in Wella Bloggers Meet: Ammonia Free Is Not Damage Free
