Is your hair rough and frizzy? 5 reasons to get soft, shiny hair like silk
Hair loses its natural moisture and shine for many reasons. The factors that help your hair always stay ‘smooth’ are:
Using conditioners: When you use shampoo, the natural oiliness is also lost along with the dirt in the hair. Using a good conditioner after shampooing helps to smooth the outer layer of the hair (cuticles) and make the hair smooth.
Hot oil massage: Once a week, slightly warming coconut oil or almond oil and massaging it on the scalp will increase blood circulation. This strengthens the hair roots, removes dryness, and gives the hair a good shine.
Control heat styling: Excessive use of hair dryers and straightening machines can completely lose the moisture in the hair. This is the main reason why hair becomes rough. Avoiding such tools or using a ‘heat protection serum’ can help protect your hair.
Protein-rich food: Hair is made of a protein called ‘keratin’. Including eggs, milk, nuts, and legumes in your diet helps to strengthen and soften your hair from within.
Washing with cold water: Washing your hair with hot water can open the cuticles in your hair and make your hair rough. But using cold water closes these layers and makes your hair smoother and shinier.
