For, monsoon weather can wreak havoc on your hair and leave you with a feeling of cursing this blissful weather. Here are a few hair care tips to leave you with those beautiful locks that you would love to run your fingers down this monsoon season.your hair with cold water to enhance the shine of your locks.

b. Apply acidic conditioners after rinse.

The simplest way to have shiny hair - deep conditions them.

Vitamin E is essential for your hair. Include brown rice, nuts, wheat germ and leafy green vegetables in your diet.

In a bowl mash avocado, one tbls of olive oil and a tsp of baking powder. Mix well and apply it on your hair. Rinse it after 15 minutes.

If you have got your pretty locks colored, use products for color treated hair. These products will prevent the color from discharging, and making it look lifeless and dull.

Natural oil can also make your hair look shiny. Just brush or comb your hair.

Using a hair dryer can eliminate the moisture from your hair. Pick on heat activated shampoos and conditioners to retain the moisture.

Take Care of those Splits Ends- 

Once the hair cuticle is removed, it is impossible to replace. Typically the hair splits into two or three strands, and can be as long or two to three centimeters in length. The best treatment is to cut off the split end of the damaged fiber.

But you don't necessarily have to go to the salon every week to keep your split ends in check. In the sixties and seventies, woman used to burn off their split ends themselves! Ouch! I'm sure you'll agree that that's a little excessive. There are easier ways to get rid of your dead ends before they split further... DIY (do-it-yourself) hair trims. Don't be afraid, everyone does it!

To remove split ends:

  • Take small sections of hair and carefully twist them in a gentle downward motion. Any split ends will automatically stick out.
  • Carefully snip into the twist with sharp scissors. Don't cut right through; just cut into the thickness to remove the damaged cuticles and give a natural layered effect.
  • Be careful to cut roughly the same amount from each twist.

Remember, sometimes the simplest, and least expensive, ideas are the best. So get trimming your hair!
