Discover The Secret To A Truly Great Hair Day

Every woman’s dream is to have a thick, soft, crowning glory with a rich sheen. This dream can come true with just some attention to proper hair care. Some quick ways to have a truly great hair day is by following simple rules like:
1. A nice head massage with warm olive oil or coconut oil or castor oil before head bath will make hair softer, shiny and stronger. If you don’t have time in morning, do the massage at night and let your hair soak in the oil.
2. Ensure that the shampoo you use is suitable for your hair type. After shampooing, use a deep, nourishing conditioner. One can also use following home made conditioner: take appropriate amount of mayonnaise (make sure it is real mayonnaise and not the one for salad dressing) and coat your hair in it. Massage it well for 3 minutes and then cover with a shower cap or a hot damp towel and leave for 30 minutes. Shampoo as usual and you have ultra soft shiny hair.
3. Make your own hair mousse to give that extra edge to your soft hair. Take 1/4th cup plain gelatin and dissolve it in 1 cup of boiling water. Let it set till to room temperature and then rub onto wet or dry hair. Blow dry as usual to give that extra bounce. The mousse need not be refrigerated and the shelf life is just one week.
4. Remember not to comb wet hair as it is at its weakest when wet. If needed, use a wide tooth comb but before using the comb detangle the wet hair with your fingers.
5. If you don’t like the idea of hair gels use apple cider vinegar as the final hair rinse. This will add shine and softness to your hair. The vinegar smell evaporates after some time. Apple cider vinegar has rich in alpha-hydroxy acids which make the hair softer and smoother. Use half cup in one quarter of water as final rinse after shampooing.
6. For extra moisturizing, you can also add a few drops of honey to your conditioner.
7. For giving extra fluffiness to the hair, use a hair brush to comb when hair is nearly dry. Repeat at intervals and use only the hair brush to comb.
8. There are different types of brushes to give different effects to your hair.n A round brush will flip the hair up from roots and give volume to hair.n Paddle brush is perfect for straightening the hair. n While a wide tooth comb is best to detangle wet hair, using narrow tooth comb will make the hair straighter on drying.
9. Another way of adding volume is to comb it backwards. Bend your head down and comb from roots to the tip. Then flip your hair back and use fingers to settle the hair down.
10. After the cake is baked what you need as the finishing touch is the icing. So after you are through with the basic steps, use hair accessories like hair clips, hair pins etc to jazz up the style and you are ready to hit the floor!!
