Oil your hair. Coconut, Olive Oil, Castor Oil or even Jojoba Oil should be applied to your hair 20 minutes before you start playing Holi. It helps in smoothing the texture of your hair, and doesn’t let the colours to stubbornly stick to your hair strands. It makes it easier for the colours to be washed off later on. It also prevents your hair from getting too dry because of the powdered colours. No matter what kind of colours your hair gets splashed with, oil will prevent it from getting damaged. This is a very integral precaution because oil almost does 90% of protection by building a thick layer around your hair. 2. Lemon drops on your scalp. If you have a sensitive skin, then make sure to put a few drops of lemon juice to your scalp to make sure no infection finds its way onto your scalp. Lemon is composed of citric acid, which kills any kind of bacteria which may irritate your skin or trigger a negative reaction. 3. Roll your hair into a bun. If you keep your hair open, it will be easier for the chemicals to find shelter within your hair. Tying your hair into a tight bun will act as a barrier against the colours. 4. Don’t wash your hair. There’s no point in washing your hair before Holi because after playing with the colours, you’d have to wash your hair again, and washing your hair so frequently will lead to your hair looking dry and lifeless. It will strip your hair out of the necessary amount of oil and moisture that is required for lustre. 5. Wrap a dupatta around your head. If you’re interested in taking severe precautions for your hair, you can always wrap your head with a dupatta/scarf. It will not only save you from colours, but it will also protect your hair and skin from the sun. Holi always takes place in the scorching heat of summer, so wearing a dupatta will definitely prevent your skin from getting a tan, and also act as a camouflage for your hair. 6. Hydrate yourself. The combination of dehydration and the chemicals present in the colours can be deadly. So make sure, you drink an ample amount of water before and during Holi. Here are the tips you need to keep in your mind, after playing Holi: 7. Rinse your hair with normal water. The powdered colours need to thoroughly get out of your hair, or else you’d have to use the shampoo more than once in a single day, which will make the hair look shrivelled and worn out. Expose your hair to running water and let all the colours flow away first. 8. Wash your hair with a strong shampoo. The shampoo needs to be intricately massaged onto the scalp, to avoid any remnants of the colours to stay stuck near the roots. If they’re not gotten rid of, hair fall will be promoted. Make sure that the shampoo that you use is strong enough to be effective in the first wash. If you use a mild shampoo, you would have to go through the hassle of washing your hair again within a short span of time. 9. Get back the moisture. The texture of your hair is bound to get rough because of its exposure to chemicals, heat, and excessively strong shampoo. Invest in a good conditioner and apply it to the surface of your hair. This can only be done after making sure that your hair is almost, if not completely, free of colours. 10. Hair mask. It’s always safe to treat your hair with a good mask made up of homemade recipe to avert further deterioration of your hair’s quality. It’s better to be safe than sorry later. The most commonly used homemade hair mask is made up of the following ingredients: a) Curd and lemon. 1-3 tablespoons of lemon juice should be added to 1 full bowl of unsweetened curd and then mixed thoroughly, forming a thick paste. It has to be applied to the hair, with special attention paid to the surface and then rinsed with lukewarm water after 30 to 35 minutes. It softens your hair strands and also takes care of the remaining hue of colours present in your hair. b) Honey and olive oil. Two tablespoons of honey should be added to two tablespoons of olive oil. Then it should be massaged properly on both the surface of your hair and also the roots and then left idle for 20 minutes for the ingredients to come into effect.]]> https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/10-ways-in-which-you-can-get-smooth-and-lustrous-hair-this-holi/feed/ 0 https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/hair-care-during-monsoons/ https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/hair-care-during-monsoons/#respond Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:51:33 +0000 https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/?p=751 1. Wash right You have to wash your scalp properly and frequently because of the high humidity levels. We actually sweat more during the monsoon season, and the sweat is the reason for most of our scalp problems. Shampooing the right way will help remove all the debris and the dirt build up that has been accumulating in your hair. Washing right becomes more important when you consider the fact that you will get a clean head that stays that way. 2. Use a conditioner Conditioning helps your hair get the right nutrition to fight the frizziness. Make sure that you get the conditioner evenly spread (not just the scalp) as well; this will help you get the right effect spread evenly over all your strands. Also, make sure that you are using the right kind. All hair types have different needs and using the wrong kind can wreak havoc on your hair. 3. Avoid the dryer Drying hair with a hair dryer will leave your hair frizzy and unmanaged. And you definitely don’t need more of that this season. Also, steer clear of all sorts of straighteners and hair irons; they will definitely harm your hair. 4. Throw the fine toothed comb away A fine toothed comb is one sure shot way that you will end up pulling out more hair strands than you can count. Keep all of these away for the entire monsoon season and keep all the wide toothed ones and the brushes for use. 5. Protect your hair The best way that you can make sure that your hair stays clean, dry, frizz free and soft this monsoon season is to cover them up. When you cover your hair, you protect them from all sorts of contaminants and the weather. The best way to do this is to put a physical barrier on your hair. 6. Keep a short hair cut Another way to make sure that your hair evades the brunt of the oh-so-cruel weather is to keep your hair shorter and closer to your head. 7. Have lots of water Having a lot of water makes your hair strong and healthy from the inside. And this is exactly what you need when you want the best hair that is healthy from within.

You need to think long and hard before you make that choice as the decisions that you take can change the course of your life. And why is that? In this post, we will try to make sure that we tell you what the benefits of getting Laser hair reduction over waxing are. 1. Laser hair removal does not get rid of all the hair immediately. And you can’t wax during the entire process, so if you want to start the process right now, you should consider shaving or going au natural for some time. But as long as it is just the last time in forever, isn’t it worth it? 2. It is a one-time investment Yes, laser hair removal can seem like a big investment initially. But do remember, it is only a one time investment. And like all one time investment it will pay itself off not only in financial, but also in terms of convenience and efficiency. Seriously, think of the time, effort and energy that you save when you don’t have to go to the salon/beauty parlor for waxing, ever! This fact alone makes it worth the investment. 3. It is really quick Yup, you heard that right; laser hair removal will take considerably lesser time when compared to you fortnightly waxing sessions at the salon. The sessions (although you need more than a few) will typically last no longer than your average lunch break. 4. It doesn’t hurt as much as waxing All the concerns about laser hair removal being a painful process are just a hoax people; the process hurts no more than waxing does. In fact, you can always go for a topical anaesthetic if you feel sensitive in the process. 5. You get silky smooth skin No compromises, no stubble, no oops-we- missed-that- bunch approach. Laser hair removal leaves your skin feeling perfect and flawlessly hair free. With technological advances in the field, we now have lasers that suit all skin types and deliver perfect results consistently. 6. You never have to worry about the aftermath Waxing has its fair share of problems, be that discomfort of the increased risk of infections because of unsanitary methods used. But laser hair removal is always carried out in sterilised zones at clinics following the best practices and protocols. Having read all of this, three things should be very clear to the reader about laser hair removal. 1. The permanence of it. 2. The long term savings that you get. 3. That it is a painful process is a misconception Just head on over to our laser hair removal page to explore all possibilities.]]> https://garekarsmdskinclinic.com/waxing-vs-laser-hair-reduction/feed/ 0
