Wipro Shikakai Hair Care tips:

Good diet: Nothing can substitute a good balanced diet for healthy lustrous hair. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach are known to promote hair growth. Drink plenty of water and have a diet with sufficient proteins. Eating an egg is better than applying it on hair!

Hair Cleansing: Hair should be washed at least every alternate day with a mild cleanser such as Shikakai soap to get rid of dirt and microorganisms, which cause hair fall and dandruff.

Wash Water temperature: Hot water hitting the scalp directly (which happens typically in a hot shower bath) is bad for hair follicles. Best is to use luke warm water from a slow/gentle shower. In fact one should first let the water run on ones back (as a temp test) and then direct it to one’s scalp.

Hair Oiling: Oil conditions hair naturally by coating it and also helps in moisturizing the scalp. Apart from that, oiling also helps improve blood circulation in the scalp strengthening hair roots. Oil should be gently massaged into hair about 20 minutes before washing it off. It should not be left on the scalp overnight (as practiced by many) since this promotes microbial growth. A good hard champi is not a great idea as hair follicles might get damaged.

De-stressing: Most hair problems are linked to stress and ones genetic make up. Yoga has helped a lot of people in re -growing hair or reversing graying. So go ahead and relax by taking that much needed vacation or spending time with your loved ones for a head full of thick, strong healthy hair.

No Hair Abuse: Never abuse your hair by pulling it back too tightly or putting a tight rubber band on it. This strains hair, causing hair breakage and split end
