Hair Care

Long, vibrant, thick and shining hair are supposed to be beautiful. Every girl, every woman longs to have such hair. From times immemorial, long, lustrous and thick hair had been the envy of every beautiful lady. How so ever beautiful a woman be, if she lacks in hair-beauty she can’t be classed as a beautiful woman.

An Austrian saying says, “A woman without good hair is like a doe with squint eyes”!

Changing Trends in Hair Styles

With the changing time, the coiffure in vogue has undergone tremendous changes. Gone are the days when Indian women took pride in hip-crossing hair made lustrous with a generous dab of hair oil.

Now the working women go for close cropped hair, shampooed and tied loosely. Still, the old style has not gone completely out of the vogue. So, there is a great variety of the coiffure now prevalent in India.

But all agree on one aspect that the hair should be full of life, not a dead shredding bristle-like mass on their head.

The Importance of Healthy Hair

But any style will suit you when you have thick, healthy and lustrous hair. There are many kinds of hair now visible, normally they can be broadly classed into four varieties: normal, oily, dry and curly.

Normal Hair

Characteristics of Normal Hair

This category of hair are lustrous without any greasy look. Even for days together they maintain their shine and lustre without any washing.

These can be washed with light shampoo, or with a glycerine soap or with Reetha or Shikakai. In selecting shampoo one has to choose her favourite brand by trial and error. After the wash the hair should look clean and lustrous.

Shampooing Tips

It is better to comb your hair thoroughly before washing them with shampoo, then they would break much less.

Always apply shampoo or shampoo water solution on to the roots of your hair by the tip of your fingers. Rub the roots by your finger but the end of hair should never be rubbed or stretched.

Always comb your hair when they are partially dry. Combing the wet hair results in considerable hair loss. For normal hair, Shikakai shampoo is ideal.

Characteristics of oily hair

This category of hair looks shiny but often feels greasy soon after washing. The scalp produces excess oil, making the hair limp and sticky. Such hair attracts dust and dirt easily, so it needs frequent washing. A mild herbal or lemon-based shampoo works best to keep it clean and fresh. Avoid heavy oils and conditioners on the scalp, as they can make the hair look even more greasy.

Characteristics of curly hair

This category of hair is naturally wavy or tightly coiled, often appearing dry because the natural oils from the scalp don’t spread evenly along the strands. It tends to get frizzy and tangled easily, so it needs extra moisture and gentle care. Use mild, hydrating shampoos and always follow with a rich conditioner to keep curls soft, shiny and manageable.

Conditioning Tips

There are lots of hair conditioning solutions available in the market. Some shampoos too have this quality.

Wash your hair well with shampoo and then apply hair conditioning solution. Wash your hair, after five minutes, thoroughly with water, preferably lukewarm and then dry your hair.

Importance of hair serum in daily life

Hair serum plays a vital role in keeping your hair smooth, shiny, and protected from daily damage. It acts as a shield against pollution, heat styling, and dryness. Regular use helps reduce frizz, adds instant gloss, and makes hair easier to manage.

Applying just a few drops after washing can transform dull strands into silky, vibrant locks. For the best results, always choose a best hair serum in Pakistan that suits your hair type and nourishes it deeply for long-lasting shine and health.
