Washing hair in correct manner is very important for hair care treatment. Firstly remember that do not wash your hair daily.

Apply and rub the conditioner from the direction of hair tips to roots of the hair. Keep the conditioner on your hair for few minutes and rinse it off to get soft and shiny hair. Do not use hot water always to wash your hair. Use cool water to maintain the oil balance of your scalp.Drying your hair
Drying of the hair is as important as washing of the hair. Blow drying your hair in a correct way can prove beneficial. Hold the dryer in a specific distance and set in cool mode.

Do not rub your hair harshly with towel or cloth. Avoid combing or brushing hair when they are wet. If you are using any type of styling product then be careful that you use it only on hair and not on the scalp. It can make your scalp dry and damage the roots of your hair. Do not over use the styling products on your hair to save them from breakage.
Hair brushing and accessories
