Your hair care is divided into four parts -
salon activities
self-care activities
food intake activities
lifestyle activities
Let's dive deep into each part.
Salon Activities
Salon activities basically include three things - your haircut, hair spa, & hair therapy.
Haircut - we mean getting your hair trimmed every three months. Yes, there is a scientific reason behind it & it's not a scheme of salon owners to increase their haircut appointments.
WHY - this removes your unhealthy hair. The split end, uneven, dry, dull hair, thus making your hair look healthy too.
Hair Spa - our hair needs its proteins. And a hair spa is the best way to give our hair the required nutrients. Hair spa is followed by a massage & steam that makes sure the product penetrates deep into your hair.
WHY - It adds shine & life to dull, lifeless hair. Making it look smooth & fresh.
Hair Therapy - tackles the different kinds of issues the hair has on a deeper level. These hair treatments help reverse the damage caused to your chemically or color-treated hair.
WHY - helps repair the damaged hair & adds life to it.
REMEMBER
These three activities are best performed at the salon.
The professionals there could help you with the best treatment that your hair requires.
Remember, hair cut, spa & therapy differs from person to person depending on the hair quality, length, structure, etc. So it's best to leave it in the hands of the professionals.

To maintain the result, it's advisable to keep a monthly salon ritual which means getting the service done often as per your hair needs.
Self-care Activities
Self-care activities basically include hair habits that one must follow & practice on a daily basis.
It can be categorized into three things - wash habit, afafter-wash habit & maintenance habit.
Hair wash habit
Never overwash your hair. The basic rule is, once if your hair is dry, twice if oily.
Shift to sulfate-free shampoos & conditioners.
Apply conditioner to your hair after the shampoo.
Use cold to mild-warm water to wash your hair.
Do not rub your hair when wet or when washing or applying products.
Remember to choose shampoos having less than a 5.5 pH level.
After wash habit
Dry your hair naturally.
Shift to a microfiber towel (or an old cotton t-shirt) to wrap your hair instead of a harsh cotton towel.
Avoid using heating appliances on your hair regularly. Let your hair breathe. If you can't completely stop, at least minimize the use.
Use a diffuser when blow-drying your hair.
Choose a good quality hairbrush to comb your hair and avoid combing wet hair.
Maintenance Habit
Do not overdo chemical treatments. If not required, please avoid it.
While sleeping, tie your hair in a high ponytail to prevent hair damage from detangling.
You can also try switching your cotton pillowcase with a silk or satin pillowcase.
Avoid places where there is dust, a lot of pollution, etc.
Use scarves or caps to cover your hair from extreme heat & pollution.
Avoid standing directly under the sun for an extended period. Wear hats if possible.
