If you have curly hairs then it is advised that you use these kind of conditioners on your hair to smoothen your curly locks.

  • Comb with care – Never ever comb your hair when it is wet as it damages,the above layer of your hair. Let the hair dry and then comb, but make sure you do that using a wide toothed comb. Always untangle your hair from below and then move upward so that you don’t face the problem of losing hair.untangle your hair - comb with care                                                                                                                                                                                                                Image by © A. Inden/Corbis
  • Avoid heat – Stay away from straightening or curling or perming for that matter as it is quite harmful for your hair. If you are going out for this type of styling daily then before you realize your tresses will lose out on all natural components and will be damaged to such an extent that it will take a long time to repair it. In case if you have to use these techniques, then make sure that you use proper serum first so that it helps in saving your hair from extreme damages.
  • Stay away from chemicals – You must stay away from products which contain Ammonium Laureth Sulphate and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate as it is generally very harsh on your hair as they are industrial waste. It will be thinning your hair and you will also suffer from hair loss if you are using these products.
  • Make sure to visit the salon for trimming – Trimming is important because it cuts off your split ends so it is always advised that go for trimming every 4 to 6 weeks religiously.trimming hair - hair dressing in salon                                                                                                                                                                                                       Image by © I Love Images/Corbis

If you want some home remedy for your hair, then here are some options for you –

  • Hot oil massage – This one is a real old trick of getting a nice smooth hair and it is simple too. You just have to heat some oil and massage it 20 minutes prior to taking a bath.

Gently but firmly massage your scalp with fingertips so that the oil penetrates deep into the scalp and then keep your head covered with a shower cap or towel. Now wash your hair with some mild shampoo.hot Oil massaging 20 minutes before bath                                                                                                                              Image by © Imagemore Co., Ltd./Corbis
