When it comes to your mane care you will come across all kinds of advice. find all kinds of advice. Mothers will tell you to resort to good ol’ oil massage, whereas your hair dresser will recommend the trendiest hair spa, Moroccan oil, strengthening not rebonding, etc. etc. But fret not. Wedding Affair brings to you all the things that you need to keep in mind to keep your mane healthy, wealthy and shining this season.

The first really important step in your mane care routine is your diet. Hence, the two most important things in your diet are iron and protein. Your hair cells are the fastest growing cells in the body. Also, they are also the first ones to be affected if you don’t eat correctly or suffer with deficiencies. Iron and protein are extremely crucial for your hair growth.

Hence, try and include iron-rich foods like leafy vegetables, fish, pumpkin seeds, beans, chickpea, soybeans and cereals in your diet. Try your best to consume approximately 12 mg of iron daily. You also need protein because that’s what strengthens your mane. Include whole proteins which are also rich in amino acids. For example: cheese, milk, soy, lentils, peas, quinoa and yogurt.

Maintaintaining Healthy Hair: A Few Basic Tips

  1. It’s normal to lose 100-150 strands of hair a day. So, don’t panic when you see a small bunch crawling across your tiled floor.
  2. Comb wet hair with extreme care. They are fragile and more prone to breakage. Take a broad-toothed comb and run it from the roots to the ends of your hair as gently as possible.
  3. Make sure to trim your hair every few weeks to get rid of those brown and rough split ends. Cut about 1/4th an inch of your hair every six to eight weeks to avoid the split ends to grow out again.
  4. Try not to shampoo your hair every day. Whenever you do, apply some conditioner on the ends. Prefer using the same brand of shampoo and conditioner.
  5. Rinse the conditioner off with cold water as it is good for both strength and shine.
  6. Try using sulfate and paarben free shampoos, especially if you have curly or dry hair. If you’ve got dry hair then it’s best to avoid colouring. However, if you can’t resist that gorgeous shade of brown, use lemon, chamomile tea or honey as they work as great hair lighteners. You can add lemon juice to water and spray it over your hair when you are heading out. You can rinse your hair with brewed chamomile tea after you wash them with shampoo or add honey to the water you use to wash your hair.
  7. Nothing quite works as good as deep conditioning. Witness the wonders of a deep conditioning. Squeeze out the extra water and towel dry it. Then take generous amounts of conditioner and apply it right to the root of your hair. Use a broad toothed comb and run it through your hair to make sure the conditioner reaches everywhere. Now, pull them up and clip them together. Leave the conditioner in for anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour.

Say No To HEAT

If you want gorgeous curls or perfect waves, then there are a few ways you can get those without taking the help of a dryer, straightener or curler. Heating tools not only damage your hair but also make it dry. Hence, avoid applying heat to your hair. If you really want to use heat, make sure to use heat protectant.

Oils & Hair Masks

A conditioner might work wonders for your hair. But oil gives it certain minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids that don’t just strengthen your roots but also boost overall health of your hair. You can also use a host of hair masks available in the market or make one at home.
