Love is in the Hair

 (No, this is not a promoted post)

This is just my experience of what I did to finally be happy and in love with my hair. And this is coming from someone who has had dry, curly, heavy volume hair and recently even got her hair colored. So I have had to learn a thing or two about taking care of my hair. 


Lesson 1: Get smarter about your shampoo.

I keep trying various shampoos to see which works better for my hair, and I now definitely know the typical store available brands just do not work. You need shampoos according to your scalp and hair type. Also, try not to over-wash your hair. People with dyed hair are advised not (STRICT NO) to wash it every day to prevent premature color fading and dryness. Ideally, you just need to wash your hair twice or thrice to keep your hair clean. Invest in a good natural shampoo to help add strength, volume, and texture to your hair. 

I am just adding some shampoos on the basis of my research and experience according to the issues I have faced:

>> Dandruff -  This shampoo does wonders, you will start seeing the result in 1-2 washes itself.

>> Frizzy hair - I started using this after I got my hair color-treated because I wanted a good sulphate-free shampoo but I really like how it works on my hair. Recommended especially for color-treated hair. 


>> Hairfall  - I use many products of Biotique and I have had no complaints about any of them. This is a nourishing shampoo and works pretty good. 

Lesson 2: What goes well with shampoo? Conditioner.

A lot of people skip this step thinking it's overrated and unnecessary. When shampooing your hair (even with all-natural products), some essential oils are removed leaving the hair in need of moisturizer, this is where the conditioner comes in. I would recommend using the same brand as your shampoo. 

Lesson 3: Oil is the answer

A conditioner can work wonders for your hair but oil gives it certain minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that not only strengthen your roots but also improve your hair's overall health.

Coconut oil comes highly recommended by mothers and hair experts! It will protect your hair from exposure to the harmful UV rays of sun and dandruff.


If you experience hair loss then olive oil or castor oil (mixed with coconut oil) will be a better choice.



And for color-treated hair (I personally use this one right now) -


Lesson 4: Rice water is the secret to longer hair

Regular use of rice water has many advantages for hair – it helps remove dandruff, strengthen the strands, stimulate their growth, give vitality, and improve their appearance significantly.
There are thousands of videos and articles available online proving this. I am attaching a video for reference on how to use it:




Lesson 5: Experiment and Personalize

It can take a few days, if not a few weeks, to work a hair care routine out. But you are well on the way to getting the hair you deserve; once it's sorted. You may need to change the routine at a certain time of year as well. Many will need to opt for products with extra hydrating properties when the winter months hit. But in the warmer summer season, you might want to choose lighter formulas to help hair stay bouncy in the face of moisture.

Adding some other products I use and really like-

5 Tips to instantly feel better

I wish that life was merry 100% of the time. Life is, sadly, not always enjoyable. But does this mean that it's got to be bad? I hate to feel down; I know that it's a part of life, and there's no escape. However, I seem to feel depressed for no reason or remain sad sometimes. There is no shame in feeling down, so there's no reason for you to stay down. I find it unreasonable to stay in a bad mood for more than 5 minutes. Your acts are the only thing that you manage. This means that you can choose to do something that cheers you up. Here are 5 things that I do, and you can try to instantly feel better- 1. Watch Something Funny I watch something funny every day because it's good for you. What laughing does to you is this: Relaxes the whole body Strengthens the immune system Reduces the hormones of stress Causes endorphin release Protects the heart Just open up YouTube and watch the funny stuff. I love some channels like Kanan Gill , Rahul Dua , Nishant Suri , Vir Das ...

F-It list

 I have realized that I have always been an “I want to do it all,” kinda person. But there are moments when I don't want to hustle; instead, I want to lie the fuck down. Take it from someone who has consumed chamomile tea, tried meditation, and booked me-time in the calendar in an attempt of being her 'best self'. Balance isn't found at the bottom of a pricey tea or as the conclusion of a yoga lesson. Instead, it's a state of mind. And something that has really been working for me is - ' A Fuck-It list' We spend a lot of time checking things off our to-do lists, creating aspirational Pinterest boards, and pondering our next big goal, dream, or plan. Then we wonder why we've burned out. Answer honestly- How much time and effort do you put into stuff that doesn't really matter? Or activities that you think you "should" do rather than those that you really want to do? STEPS TO MAKE A FUCK-IT LIST -   Make a mental or physical list of all the t...

Unfinished

We were friends before the story actually starts. We met in college. I told him stories of my awful ex-boyfriend, and he indulged in my fantasies of murder. We would sit in his car, talking about how easy it would be to sneak poisonous leaves into their burgers. He told me about his school life; the obsession with movies and shows. And all this seemed impressive to the girl with no friends. Our friendship took years to turn romantic, but it did. He was fun and wild, and he really seemed to get me. He made me feel special, like a femme fatale, like I was in a movie. We had a lovely start - all intense connection and creative collaboration. For the first time, I felt heard and seen. He made me feel safe and special. An intoxicating combination.  It was different right away. I didn't want to date him, I wanted to be his partner. I wanted to skip all the awkward dating (we did) and arrive at the comfortable, compatible thing, always things. I had found my guy. Part of th...
