• Do not use combs with metal or plastic prongs, instead go for wooden ones as those work best on the hair. They do not create static with the hair and are gentler on the skin and do not cause damage to the follicles.
• Go for air-drying your hair instead of using a blow dryer. Air drying is much better for hair health and strength as using heat-based products on the hair weaken them and cause issues like breakage and hair fall.
• Get enough rest as that has effects on your looks all over the body. If you are not getting enough rest and tired all the time, your hair will also signify this state. They will look dry and dull and will be weaker and much more prone to breakage. So, get around 8 hours of sleep every day to get your rest. Also, try to be mindful of your mental state.

• Instead of hot showers, take cold ones as those are better for hair as cold water can close the cuticles of the hair and eliminate stuff like frizz and help maintain the health and integrity of the hair strands. Rinsing hair with cold water will give them a sleek and shiny look whereas washing them with warm water dries them out which can undo the work of conditioners, etc.
