Bad hair days are a bummer! Isn't that, right? Do the bouncy and voluminous manes that models flaunt in hair care advertisements seem like a far-fetched fantasy to you most of the time? We agree that most of them go a little too far.

However, hair care experts believe that with correct hair care, the desire for healthy hair can become a reality. Here is a handpicked selection of top hair care suggestions for healthy hair.

How Often Should I Shampoo My Hair?

There are differing perspectives on how frequently you should shampoo your hair. It all boils down to personal preference and individual needs, which are determined by the following factors:

your hair's texture and type

how frequently do you use hair products

your level of activity

Wash oily hair more often. The frequency with which you wash your hair should be determined by how much oil your scalp produces.

‘While genetics have a role, your nutrition, the weather, pollution, and overall hair care approach are all important in maintaining your crowning glory.’

If you have chemically treated hair, it may be drier, and you should wash it less regularly. Because your scalp produces less oil as you age, you may not need to shampoo as frequently. However, if you notice flakes in your hair, you may not be shampooing frequently enough. This can result in dandruff and other scalp problems.

What is the Correct Way to Shampoo?

Shampoo the scalp well. When washing your hair, focus on cleaning the scalp first, rather than the entire length of hair. Washing merely your hair can result in flyaway, lifeless, and coarse hair.

Importance of Hair Conditioner

Unless you use a �2-in-1' shampoo that cleans and conditions your hair, use conditioner after every shampoo. Conditioners can considerably enhance the appearance of damaged or worn hair by enhancing gloss, minimizing static electricity, improving strength, and providing some UV protection.

Concentrate conditioner on the hair's tips. Conditioners should only be used on the tips of the hair and not on the scalp or the length of the hair because they can make fine hair look limp.

How to Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Select a shampoo and conditioner that are designed precisely for your hair type. If you color your hair, for example, use a shampoo made for color-treated hair. Consider a �2-in-1' shampoo if your hair is damaged or chemically treated. Many shampoo and conditioner brands, regardless of price, deliver the same benefits.

Tips to Protect Your Hair When Swimming

Swim with your hair covered.

Wet and condition your hair before swimming to protect it from the harmful effects of chlorine.

Wear a tight-fitting swim cap and replenish lost moisture with a specially formulated swimmers' shampoo and deep conditioner after swimming.

If you don't take care of your hair, it may eventually stop growing. Dandruff, hair fall, dryness, and dullness may appear gradually. Visit your doctor if you are experiencing severe hair loss and damage despite following a proper hair care program. And, whether you have hair or not, you should still celebrate yourself.
