Never forget conditioner - After every wash make sure to use conditioner on your hair. prefer a conditioner containing jojoba oil and shea butter.

Hair spa - A good hair spa is needed in almost all seasons but if you can’t afford to make it to salon every time, mix egg yolks, onion juice, and olive oil. Apply the mix to your hair and keep it for an hour before washing off with shampoo.

Avoid shampooing more than twice a week - Don’t shampoo your hair more than twice a week as it removes natural oil from your scalp, causing dandruff.
