Maintaining your hair is probably one of the most tiresome things because hair needs a lot of attention, and if you choose to ignore it, it gets all messy, thus, making it more difficult for you to maintain it any further.

There may be many gels and lotions in the markets that promise you the best and most shiny hair, but you know better because all of us have been there. The moment you stop using the gels, your hair turn into a larger version of a bird's nest and you are left with an eternally perplexing question, that is, how should you maintain your hair. Well, we thought we could help you with the following hacks:

1. Comb wet hair with a lot of care and provide it as much time as they require. The reason for this is that wet hair is very fragile and is prone to damage. It can break pretty easily. So, experts suggest you comb it from its roots with a comb that has widely spaced teeth.

2. Every 6-8 weeks, trim the outermost edges of your hair. This will help you avoid split-ends and also keep your hair in fairly good shape. Also, trimming may help you cut out the grey hair that is likely to show itself distinctly, if not taken care of.

3. If you use conditioners for your hair, make sure that you wash it off using cold water. Cold water helps your hair avoid shocks that can otherwise be felt because of the hot water. Thus, it is safe to say that cold water helps your hair maintain its strength in such conditions.

4. Sulphate shampoos have made their way in the markets recently and their popularity has surged to quite an extent. Sulphates clean your scalp of all the dirt but at the same time they also wash off all the essential oils in your hair, so experts suggest that sulphate-free shampoos should be used as much as possible.

5. If you have dry hair, it is suggested that you avoid colouring your hair. The reason for this is the fact that dry hair is likely to get damaged to a great extent if you dye it.

6. Finally, do not do anything that would impart heat to your hair, like straightening or ironing it. Heat damages your hair in the worst manner.

If you follow these simple tricks and tips, there is a good chance that your hair may seem more wonderful and better than ever, and make every day of yours a good hair day!
