Having a healthy hair care routine is a very essential step in the process. Clean scalp provides a healthy bed for hair growth. Include oil massage and appropriate hair masks (depending on your hair and scalp type) to ensure you give enough nourishment from outside as well. Washing regularly cleans the hair and scalp but excess is bad and that too with harsh chemical based cleansers or shampoos is even worse as they rip off your scalp of its superficial protective layer or sebum.

Sticking to natural or herbal products for all types of hair treatments including dyeing, conditioning, colouring, hydration masks and cleansing, works in most gentle way for your hair. Make a routine and follow regularly for better results. All chemicals in your hair care products also get absorbed into your skin so say ‘NO’ to them as far as possible.
