Haircare Routine

Hair care Routine

Hi guys! your welcome to SkinSam . Today’s post is all about hair care by that I mean, you will get to know anything and everything about by hair care routine.

First, I’ll tell you about the condition of my hair:

·        I have really frizzy hair

·        Scalp is on the oilier side

·        Lengths are drier

·        Never color treated my hair ever

·        Never done chemical treatment as well

·        On the longer side

·        Wavy in nature

That’s pretty much everything about my hair type. To be specific I have never really followed any sort of hair care routine but that really reacted negatively. I am very lazy, I feel really lethargic to oil my hair because oiling isn’t something I prefer.

Avoiding oiling really caused me excessive hair falling and roughness. The shine of my hair just vanished. Then, I decided and made my mind to just start it anyway.

 Oiling

For oiling you can use any oil that suits you but for me a single oil doesn’t work because I have multiple issues, such as; hair fall, dry length, frizz, etc..

I apply a mixture of three oils:

·        Castor Oil – for hair growth

·        Olive Oil – for nourishment

·        Coconut Oil – for moisturizing

This mixture is my go-to hair oil but if you don’t have it, you can apply mustard oil and turmeric (haldi) mixture.

Hair loss is something I have been facing since past 3 years but back then, my hair stopped growing hair. Now, I do face hair fall to a certain extent but CASTOR OIL has really helped me grow my hair. I have baby hair in forehead area and my bald spots are also covering up really well.

Olive oil really nourishes your hair. If you have really dry hair then you should definitely try it out as it is the best.

Coconut Oil is known for its goodness. But now-a-days there are “n” number of brands coming up with different products but still none of them can really be compared to an EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL. If you have a normal coconut oil, I would ask you to finish it up and then buy an extra virgin coconut oil as you will see a visible change in the texture of your hair.   

Best time for hair oiling:

Now that all of us are at our home, I will suggest you’ll to oil at night. Oiling your hair at night helps your hair get all the benefits of the hair oil. Keeping the hair oil on for good 7-8 hours will give you miraculous results.

If you have extremely oily hair only then you should apply in the morning and keep it for 2-3 hours, unless keep it overnight.

After oiling, I braid my hair and for my length I just fold it upwards and tie it with a rubber band, this process promotes hair growth.

Making

Any hair care routine is incomplete without this step. For masking I love the Aloevera DIY Hair Mask. This is a hectic process to be very honest, but it is worth every effort to make it.

Process:

·        Pluck the aloe leaf from the plant

·        Wash it twice to make sure there’s no dirt left

·        Cut it into small pieces

·        Take a single cut piece and cut out from both the sides to get rid of the spines

·        Cut the remaining piece in two parts

·        Scoop out the gel with help of a spoon

·        After your done collecting gel, blend it in a mixer

Now, its done. The mask will have really runny consistency, make sure you apply it nicely. Keep it for good 2-3 hours and then go to shower.

If you will be applying the hair oil in morning, you can add the packaged aloevera gel in the oil itself.

This hair mask really helps softening and smoothening of hair in one wash.

Shampoo & Conditioner  

Before stepping into the shower make sure you comb your hair to detangle the frizz. This is a very basic step but it is equally important. While shampooing your hair, you hair should be flipped. Start shampooing from the backside and make sure your scalp is done and then move towards the length.

I like to apply shampoo in two steps, first I dilute it in water and apply it all over my scalp and length, then rinse it off with plain water. After that I apply a second round of shampoo but this time I take a pee size amount, and its done.

Now, apply conditioner and keep it for 2 minutes and then rinse it off.

I don’t apply any serum as my hair doesn’t need it after all this process.

Don’t comb your hair after your done washing because it leads to breakage of hair.

That was all about my hair care routine.
