Brittle Hair – Causes, Solutions And Tips

Solutions To Brittle Hair:

• Do not wear rubber bands and clutches: When possible, do not tie your hair with rubber bands and clutches or put clip in your hair as your hair tends to get pulled and stretched when you remove the attachments.
• Do not use plastic combs: They can create an electric charge, especially during the monsoons, which in turn can harm your hair. Instead, use wooden combs.
• Do not leave any split ends: Hair should be trimmed on a regular basis to avoid breakage and damage.
• Hard water: Alum makes water soft. Add some to water and do not use well water to wash hair.
• Avoid shower baths: Use water which you have kept in the bucket. Let it settle for few minutes, the sediments will settle at the bottom then it will be free of hair- damaging particles. Use that water.
• Avoid frequent hair treatments: Do not use too much of chemicals on hair, keep them at least six weeks apart.
• Choose hair colour over henna: It is said that henna damages the cutiles of the hair by coating it. Using hair colour is safer and better.
• Eat a high protein diet: Soya is a good source of protein. Eat it in frequent meals.
• Take sulphur-rich food: consume more cabbage, cauliflower and asparagus as they contain sulphur that makes your hair healthier.
• Use hair packs: If you have dry hair, then use a hair pack once a week and if hair is oily, then once a month.
• Oiling hair: Light oil massage will help blood circulation to your scalp.
• Beer rinse: Rinse your hair with fresh beer. It should be used warm, not cold. It gives a shine to the cuticle.

Taking good care of oneself is first priority. Worry, stress, poor diet and repeated illness can affect your hair. Happiness makes your hair grow.
