Secret 1: Do Not Shampoo Too Often
No matter how much you like steaming hot water in winter, it is a complete no-no. Boiling hot water can leave your scalp dry and flaky and your hair brittle. Wash your hair with lukewarm water. Also, do not shampoo your hair too often so that your natural hair oils are not depleted due to excessive washing. Use a mild, alcohol-free shampoo.

Secret 2: Conditioning Is A Must
Be sure to condition your hair every time you wash it to increases elasticity, strength and shine of your hair. Also try using a pre-shampoo treatment or mask. If you do not wish to opt for readymade ones, coconut milk is a great natural conditioner. It penetrates into the hair shaft, sealing the cuticle. If you have curly hair, don’t rinse out all your conditioner. Re-apply a very light coat after towel-drying. Use a leave-in conditioner if you intend to use hot styling equipments like a curling iron or a blow dryer. Using flat beer or vinegar for the last rinse is another way to bring shine to your hair.

Massaging your hair with coconut, almond, olive, jojoba, jaborandi or rosemary oil is a good way of replenishing the natural nutrients in your hair and scalp.

Secret 4: Cover Your Crown

So a balanced diet with lean proteins, fruit and vegetables, as well as healthy fats such as olive oil, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and avocados and eight glasses of water a day, all help to thicken and increase luster in your hair.
