Know your hair: It is important to know your hair – whether it is curly, straight, wavy, dry, normal, oily, strong, weak, thick or thin. Do a test on a couple of strands of hair and get to know its type and kind properly.

Right hair care products: The most important thing to remember when growing healthy long hair is, using the right hair care products. Once you know the type of your hair, choose hair care products accordingly.

Select your shampoos, conditioners, de-tanglers, gels, balms, mousses, hairsprays, oils and lotion very carefully after reading the ingredients. It is not important to buy expensive products, but is necessary to buy products that would suit your hair type and stimulate growth and give nourishment.

Hair care routine: Always condition hair after shampooing it as it would close all hair cuticles, de-tangle hair and also help prevent split ends. Use a de-tangler only your tangles cannot be removed with the help of a brush or comb. De-tanglers contain special properties which work as vitamins for hair. If you have dry hair, it is important to put a moisturizing hair pack twice a week.

After shampooing, apply the hair pack and gently comb through it before wrapping it in a warm towel. If your hair feels gummy, it needs protein and a protein pack could be applied on the hair. Coloured, dyed or highlighted hair have their own needs. Various products available in the market are especially formulated to suit these hair types. If you use a hair spray, choose one without alcohol as alcohol dries out hair.

Trimming: It is important to get hair trimmed regularly. It is a good idea to visit your hairdresser every six to eight week and get a slight trim. This will also help avoid split ends.
