Hair brings one’s self-image
into focus; it is vanity’s proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle
of mysterious prejudices. ~Shana Alexander
If
ever you find someone in crowd is asking –“What is best in you?” you might have
hear answers like – smile, eyes, skin, height, color, style, looks but my
personal experience says, 55% of girls among that crowd would give an answer –‘my
hair’ and I am one of 55% who proudly can announce - yes i have beautiful long hair.
Some
are naturally blessed, some have to put lot of efforts and some spends huge
money to make their hair lustrous in a crowd. Before I proceed, I would like to
thank DOVE for giving an opportunity
to reveal the secret of my “beautiful hair story”.
I
still remember the time, when i was careless bird in my school and unaware of
the beauty i am blessed with. Nine years back, everything was going fine until I
left my home for higher studies.
As
I said earlier, I was careless bird, so I did not even know to tie my hair
properly and became habitual to go to college with open long, heavy and brittle
hair. I had missed my mamma more at the time of tying and used to scream while brushing
hair. One day, I noticed my hair started falling and imagined that may be it
was because of new place and change of water still I did not even cared for it.
The whole 4 years of engineering, I was praised for my long hair and also I was
being humiliated by craziest jokes of my friends in hostel for such rough and
brittle hair. I was kept switching oil and shampoos to get some bright shiny hair
but I was failed in my every different trial. I was stressed for both reasons
semester exams and hair fall.
You
know sometimes when nature endowed you with something, you have to be extra cautious
in keeping that safe forever and hair are something once u loose, chances are
rare to get it back. Sadly, my hair fall increased rapidly and it was almost
half of my hair length remained when I realized my last statement.
(My
enclosed secrets):
I
tried many shampoos for extra blush, added fruits and nourishing diet in my
food list but the shampoo which trusted me most was DOVE and it was DOVE conditioner
I found necessary mild element after shampooing it. So, instead of lamenting
about hair problems, read some healthy points that how I have recovered back
from hair fall, split ends and hair roughness -
Drinking fluids: We are aware of the
drinking fact like 7 or 8 glasses of water in a day but how many of you
actually follow? I know the answer, as I am experienced one. Instead of having
the cup of coffee or tea i increased the quantity of juicy fruits, lemonade and
healthy drinks which covers the lack of water in body, believe me it helps a
lot for both your health and hair.
Know your hair: Do you really know your
hair type? If the answer is yes, you must aware of what kind of shampoo should
you use? And conditioner should be of same brand. If you are using shampoo and
conditioner of different brands, you might be in risk to damage your hair quality.
I was having rough hair problem, I started oiling my hair before 1-2 hours of
hair wash, used conditioner after shampooing my hair and also ensured that the
oil should rinsed properly. After I followed that process; it took me around five
months in getting burnished hair.
Hair Problems: There is countless hair problems
you have had hear like hair fall, split ends, hair fading, grey or tangled hair,
Auburn or
chromatic hair issues or many others and it is easy to damage your hair than
repair it. Apart from rough hair, I’d also face other problems like hair-fall and
split-ends. I was not getting any way to come out, so forgetting about my long hair
I decided to trim hair by 1/3 of its length to remove split ends but sadly trimming
did not affected much. Hair-fall was another my biggest problem left behind. A
year back, I used Dove Damage Therapy Hair Fall Rescue shampoo when it was new
to the market. And believe me; hair fall rescue treatment Mask actually has
detangling effect if you would use it in proper manner. It was long time back
when I used to iron my hair occasionally but Dove Damage Therapy blissed me
naturally with straight hair.
Release yourself from
Stress: If
you are stress free, proportionally you are free from all your problems
including hair. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve
problems. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and
fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems,
learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. So face it, learn from it
and head on.
My Thumb Rules: Hair is precious gift and a priceless ornament
for me. I made some thumb rules before I go for any further trials:
Ø
Have
healthy Diet
Ø
Drink
plenty of water (Also, ensure it should not exceed its limit, excessive water equally
can be harmful)
Ø
Use
both shampoo and conditioner that suits best to your hair; make your own
opinion rather than following others.
Ø
If
your hair quality is rough, use oiling an hour or two before hair washes.
Ø
Wash
your hair with lukewarm or cold water.
Ø
Rinse
it off properly and ensure shampoo must not remain in your scalp.
Ø
Never
use conditioner to the scalp or root of hair.
Ø
Using
of comb on wet hair can lead to hair fall, ensure the same.
Ø
Avoid
blowing dryer or heating tools unnecessarily; extra heat can damage your hair.
Ø
If
you have dandruff or oily hair avoid over oiling to your scalp.
Ø
Avoid
dust and direct sun rays if you can.
It’s
been continuous three years I am using DOVE and it blissed me out from my hair
problems.
