As women one of the daily issues we deal with is managing our hair, long or short, straight or curly. For special lazy bones like mine, it becomes quite difficult to keep the hair healthy and happening all the time. So, here are some remarkably easy hair hacks that are true lifesavers!
-
Yogurt Before Shampoo
Natural yogurt is hair bliss if I may say so.
Just apply natural yogurt on your hair length (not on your scalp) and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. Shampoo it off with a conditioner. This super easy hair routine on a regular basis has unbelievable results. This makes your hair straighter and silkier.

Egg And Vinegar Mix
Egg is a great source of protein for the roots of your hair and so makes it stronger and more lustrous. Vinegar on the other hand gets rid of frizz of hair, giving your hair shine and shimmer. Together these two make a terrific team.
Mix one whole egg with half a teacup of vinegar and apply this mixture on your hair. You can wash it off immediately or leave it on for about 20 minutes and then wash it off with shampoo. This strengthens the hair, gets rid of dryness and makes your hair super soft and glossy.

Comb Your Way
Before washing your hair, comb your hair with a detangler and make sure it is not tangled in any way. After you have applied your conditioner, again comb your hair straight and then leave it on to continue your regular shower routine. This “combing your hair before and while shower” trick keeps hair tangle free and prevents hair breakage. Combing it after conditioner also enhances the conditioning effect and keeps your hair sleek and straight.

Spray Some Perfume
The first thing we can smell off each other while hugging is the hair. So here is an incredible way to get everyone you hug exclaim with “Your hair smells great!”
Just spray some perfume or body mist on your comb and then comb your hair straight away. Wola! Your hair is going to smell scented now.

Organic Hydrating Hair Masks
One of the easiest and most effective ways to get instant soft and shinier hair is using hydrating hair masks. These masks are quite easily available in stores.
The best part is you do not have to go through a whole process of applying it before shampoo and leaving it on, etc. You can use these hair masks instead of your conditioner and for best results leave it on for at least 10 to 15 minutes. These hydrating masks will not only hydrate your hair but leave your hair inexplicably soft, light-weight, frizz-free and vividly shiny and yes all of these instantly!
Leaving it on for more than five minutes on a shower can be a task so here is an easy way I follow. When you jump into shower, get on with your shampoo headfast followed by your hair mask. Tie up your hair and then take your time to continue your regular shower routine. This can easily take up ten minutes for your hair to be washed off. The results are magical as I said.

Banana Hair Mask
Surprising as it may sound but banana is unbelievable as a hair mask. It hydrates hair and redeems its oils. Banana reduces dryness and dullness of hair. One of the easiest banana hair masks to make at home is with 1 ripe banana and 1tbsp of olive oil or any other hair oil.
Mash one ripe banana really thoroughly and add 1tbsp of olive oil depending on your hair length. Apply this mixture on your hair length, leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off with shampoo. This mask leaves your hair soft and hydrated, reducing dryness.

Lemon Juice Therapy For Dandruff
Those who struggle with dandruff snags, this is your knight in shinning armour trust me. Lemon juice is great at fighting dandruff and so apart from using shampoos that have lemon juice in them; you can squeeze half a ripe lemon’s juice and apply on your scalp directly for better results.
Massage this lemon juice on your scalp for a few minutes and then leave it on for a further 10 to 15 minutes. Wash it off with a shampoo after this. This quick and easy lemon juice therapy works wonders with the dandruff dilemma.

Baby Powder On The Rescue
Yes! Baby powder is an apt alternative for dry shampoo. On days we are in a rush with unwashed oily hair, baby powder comes to our rescue.
Just take a makeup brush and dip it on little bit of baby powder. Tap the brush to remove excess powder. You do not want to take too much of powder because it will become too difficult to remove from your hair later on. Now, use the makeup brush to apply the powder on the roots of your hair, parting small sections. Then use a hairbrush to comb your hair to spread the powder evenly and also gradually removing the powder from your hair. Keep combing till you get rid of all of the powder. This trick will save you from greasy hair straightaway!
Apart from all of these brilliant hair hacks and millions of others, the most effective and best hair care routine that we MUST follow is to not stress! Remember, the more we stress, the more it impacts our hair, resulting in hair fall and other tragedies. So girls, just relax.
