You've always wanted to get those thick and luscious locks but were confused how? Or you have dreamed of silky, strong, smooth hair but missed out on the basics? Whatever the reason be, like an infant, our hair needs a lot of care and pampering.

Here are some steps for super healthy hair:

Some basic mantras

• As the saying goes, you are what you eat, so your hair is also the result of the diet you're having. Since your hair is made up entirely of proteins, eating a diet enriched with proteins is a necessity. Also, your hair needs some vitamins and a balanced diet to stay healthy.

• Saying bye to stress will welcome healthy strong hair in your life. All the physical and mental stress would deteriorate not only the health of your hair but won't let it achieve its full potential. Find some stress busters that suit you and follow those rigorously.

Some things to take note of:

• Avoid shampoos that contain sulfates or parabens. Find a shampoo which doesn't constitute these. Both of these chemicals are proved ill for your hair health. Use this.

• Choose the right shampoo for your hair. If you're the one with curly or coarse hair, use an anti-frizz shampoo. If straight or oily, defines your hair, then use a gentle shampoo.
• Dry and lifeless hair needs a shampoo with glycerin and collagens to restore moisture.
• If you're the one with treated or colored hair, stay away from amino acids or such extracts. Staying away from them would be a lifesaver for your hair.
• Trim your hair on a regular basis. It will clear all the split ends away that make your hair weak and dull.
• Try to style your hair naturally. Minimize the use of styling products or tools as less as possible. Not only will it save you bucks but your hair will be thankful too.

• Don't blow-dry your hair every other time. Let nature dry it for you.
• Never comb wet hair! Never ever! Neither rub your wet hair against the towel. All your hard work would go in vain and split ends will start popping out, out of nowhere.
• Use a detangler hair spray. Also use a spray that gives you a protective layer before you style.
