🌿 1. Oil Your Hair Regularly

• Use coconut, almond, castor, or bhringraj oil.
• Massage into the scalp 1–2 times a week to promote growth and reduce dandruff.
• Warm the oil slightly for deeper penetration.

🧴 2. Use a Mild, Sulfate-Free Shampoo

• Harsh shampoos can strip natural oils.
• Wash 2–3 times a week depending on your scalp type (oily vs. dry).

🥣 3. Apply Hair Masks Weekly

• Try natural masks:
  • Banana + honey (for dry hair)
  • Yogurt + fenugreek (for dandruff)
  • Aloe vera + coconut oil (for smoothness)
• Leave on for 20–30 minutes before washing.

✂️ 4. Trim Regularly

• Trim every 6–8 weeks to prevent split ends and keep hair looking healthy.

🌞 5. Protect from Sun & Pollution

• Use a scarf or umbrella when outdoors.
• Apply a leave-in serum with UV protection if you’re out often.

💧 6. Stay Hydrated & Eat Right

• Include protein-rich foods (eggs, lentils), omega-3 (fish, flaxseed), and iron (spinach).
• Drink plenty of water — dry, brittle hair is often a sign of dehydration.

🧼 7. Don’t Wash with Hot Water

• Use lukewarm or cool water. Hot water strips natural oils, leading to dryness.

🚫 8. Minimize Heat Styling

• Use heat tools only when necessary and always with a heat protectant spray.

✅ Bonus Tip: Silk Pillowcases

• Sleeping on a silk pillowcase reduces hair breakage and frizz.
