Jawed Habib, a well-known hair expert working with hair salons across the country, gave grooming tips to the youth of Doon during an event at RV Beauty & Salon, Rajpur Road on Monday. He gave the oiling tips to the young girls during the event. One needs to know how to oil hair the right way to get its benefits, he said. “You should avoid oiling hair if the climate is humid.
Also avoid oiling when your skin texture is oily as the scalp would produce oil naturally. If you work outdoors for long hours you need not keep hair oily as it will attract dust, causing hair fall,” he said, by way of tipping.
“After oiling your hair you should wrap a hot wet towel around it for 2 to 3 minutes to get it absorbed in the scalp. But always check the temperature of the towel. Too much heat is harmful to your hair,” he warned.
He added: “If you already have oily hair do not massage your hair with more oil. Oiling is good for relaxation and if done in a certain way helps in dryness also. Twice a week is good but it is important to wash it off properly after few hours as it attracts dust and break hair if kept for long.”
He strongly recommended shampoo, stressing that shampoo is something that one needs for a healthy hair. “Shampoo being used everyday is the best thing for any type of hair. If the hair and scalp are clean things will stay healthy. It is important to use a shampoo which is meant for one's hair texture.
Wash hair everyday with the right shampoo, use conditioner after shampoo, cut hair regularly and, above all, stay happy. If one follows these things, the hair will always stay healthy. A good shampoo will clean your hair, making it look great,” Habib said. “There is a lot of myths when it comes to how often one should use shampoo. My advice is that one should use shampoo every day. If the climate is humid it makes the scalp very oily and further leads to dandruff. And that, in turn, leads to premature graying of hair. Healthy clean hair grows faster,” Jawed Habib said.
He also emphasised on the use of natural oil like mustard , olive and coconut and asked those present to drink plenty of water, have a good nutritious diet and keep smiling.
