How important is it to take care of hair?
Taking care of hair while maintaining good grooming habits can actually be helpful for your overall wellness of health.
Your hair already does a lot for you. It forms a protective layer and protects you from germs, fungi, and chemicals or else this could lead to early signs of ageing and wrinkles. Hair provides cushioning and helps the body release and retain heat.
Did you know that hair protects you from the sun? With poor maintenance of hair, it can weaken the hair follicles and further lead to easy entry of germs into the scalp. This gives way to problems like excessive hair fall, hair breakage, dandruff, inflammation, poor blood circulation, irritation and itchy scalp.
Some regular habits can cause a lot of damage to your hair like:
- Brushing your hair too often.
- Towel drying your hair.
- Washing your hair everyday.
- Brushing your hair when it’s too wet.
- Being harsh and rubbing into the length of your hair.
- Using heat tools very often.
Applying the right ingredient and herb on your scalp can solve half the problem provided you are choosing scientific, clinically tested and dermatologist approved ingredients.
Remember, your hair is too precious for you to experiment!

Why should you not take hair fall lightly?
Have you realised that hair loss, baldness, and widening of hair can take a toll on somebody emotionally and psychologically. Androgenetic alopecia (scientific name for hair loss) has become extremely prevalent in both men and women.
- However, besides the sociological meaning of it, people most often relate it with self identity, body image, low self esteem, embarrassment and shyness in the society.
- We unconsciously associate hair loss, hair thinning, widening of hair and baldness with a question on self confidence and looking unattractive.
- It goes on to the extent where one genuinely fears whether they’ll get married or not, social bullying and teasing, envy and jealousy, causes depression and so much more.
- The patient undergoing alopecia, tries to cover their head with a hat or cap out of embarrassment in public places.
- Some even go ahead with a hair transplant to save themselves from bullying and teasing.
Call it strange, but hair is said to be reflecting femininity in humans. Most generally, society and people associate long, lustrous, voluminous, shiny and smooth hair with women. Therefore, it is expected of women to take care of their hair even more than men.
Also, why would you want to take hair fall lightly when it has more significance socially and emotionally as compared biologically? You should take immediate action when you start shedding more than 100 hair per day. Shedding 50-100 hair is common in case of humans, in fact it is part of natural balance. However, as soon as you notice more hair shedding it becomes concerning. You should switch products, check for scientifically proven products and in extreme situations consult a dermatologist.
Why should you not choose cheap products for hair?
As said earlier, our hair is too precious for us to experiment with products and using cheap quality products can damage your hair completely. We often consider beautiful, handsome, good looking, great personality and likewise synonymous to hair. Why would anybody want to risk their appearance by opting for cheap quality products?
Here are some reasons why you should never choose cheap quality hair products:
- You might think that you’re saving money in the short run whereas you’re actually incurring hidden costs that can have a great impact on your health and appearance. Therefore, choosing anything cheap at the cost of your self confidence is definitely not a good idea.
- You end up wasting not just your money but also your precious time on low quality products. These have harsh ingredients that can strip your hair of its natural oils making your hair dry, rough and causing breakage.
- These hair products are poorly formulated and do not contain nutrients and vitamins that you require. Moreover, they have high amounts of sulphate, paraben and chemicals that damage your hair leading to breakage, split ends, hair fall, hair thinning, dandruff, itchy scalp, inflammation and what not!
- They can even affect your mental health and lower our morale. When these low quality products damage your hair, you lose confidence and thereafter have stress and remember stress can be one of the prime reasons for hair fall. Therefore, the cheap products are not helping your hair but causing more damage.
- Most cheap products are manufactured in bulk and often they lose control over quality. This can lead to products that are contaminated, expired, and might not be suitable for your hair.
How can you select the right product for your hair?
Most of us struggle to choose the right product for our hair and in the process we end up damaging our hair. However, here are some steps that can make your journey of choosing products easier:
- You must know your hair correctly. Knowing the porosity of hair and whether your scalp is oily, dry, dandruff prone and likewise can help you decide on choosing the right hair product. Keep in mind the texture of your hair, if it’s straight, curly wavy, frizzy or fine.
- Say a big NO to products that have sulphate, paraben, gluten and chemicals in them.
They can ruin your hair quality and take away the natural oil from roots.
- Check for ingredients in the product, using a hair care product that has ingredients which can reduce the 5 Alpha Reductase enzymes which is a prime reason for hairfall.
- Products that have Redensyl, Capixyl, and Procapil can be highly beneficial for stimulating hair growth, anti-inflammatory agent, acts as hair protein, prevents hair ageing, and gives you voluminous, luscious, and healthy hair.
