Skin and Hair Care Tips by Dr Aman Dua published on Deccan Herald.

The culture of letting your hair down, literally, and drenching friends and family in the colours of Holi is dying slowly, with many preferring to stay locked indoors and enjoying the day watching the ‘festivities’ on television! Why? The reason, not surprisingly has a lot to do with health concerns and the damage toxic and adulterated organic colours cause to the skin and hair. Unfortunately, despite awareness drives about ‘saying yes to natural/herbal colours’ a large number of people still opt for chemical-based colours, largely because they are easy on the pocket. However, these adulterated colours can cause grievous damage.

But if this is the only reason why you are choosing to miss the action of drenching your friends in the colours of spring, then Metrolife is here to help We spoke to experts who have some sound advice for those indulging in Holi revelries.

The dry gulal and the wet colours of today contain chemicals, shiny particles of mica and even lead, which collect on the scalp and irritate the skin. Since Holi is played out of doors, the skin is exposed to harmful UV rays. Sun-exposure also makes the skin dry and tanned.

“To protect your skin and hair, wear barrier creams on your face and use a protective hair oil. These product barriers will prevent the Holi colours from penetrating your skin and hair. Furthermore, try to protect your hair by covering it with a hat or scarf, which will also help safeguard you from the sun at the same time, advises Dr Kiran Lohia, dermatologist.
Many ayurvedic ingredients also help in protecting the skin and hair. Neem is one of the most versatile ingredients for both skin and hair care and is easily available. Neem leaf infusions can be used to wash the skin and hair to heal rashes and eruptions. “First boil water and add the neem leaves to the hot water. Do not boil the leaves, but cover it and let it stand in the water overnight. Next day, strain the water and use it to wash the skin and hair. Make a paste of the leaves and apply it on the skin and scalp. Leave it on for half an hour and wash off. It will also help itchy conditions,” is herbal beauty expert Shahnaz Husain’s advice.

Applying leave-on conditioner or hair serum on hair before playing Holi protects the hair from the effects of sun exposure and dryness caused by colours. To stop your nails from absorbing any colour apply transparent nail varnish on the nails and ensure they retain their natural sheen and health.

Those of you who have a very sensitive skin, check out the quick fix remedies that Dr Aman Dua has suggested. “Post Holi don’t wait too long before taking a bath. If you feel an itching sensation on the skin, do not rub the coloured skin vigorously as this would only compound the problem. The combination of Holi colours and sun is damaging to skin, so apply a soothing moisturiser and wash away the colour with warm water gently. Apply moisturiser again after wash. Use a mild body wash or cleanser like Cetaphil. Try antiallergic tablets like cetirizine or fexofenadine if the itching persists. If there is no relief, consult a dermatologist.”

Ideally, one should go for herbal and natural colours. If they are not available, one can test the colours available in the market before buying. Try to rub the colour between fingers, feel the softness, texture and residual colour left behind. Also, try to wet the colour and see if it sticks to the skin and causes irritation.

These measures are not just for those shying away from the fun, because of causes that are preventable. Now you do not have to watch people playing Holi from the safe confines of your home. Go out and live the spirit of Holi, which is meant to revitalise your bond with tradition, culture and family and friends.

They say your family becomes complete only when you welcome a little one into your family and while we will do anything it takes to nurture and protect these tiny bundles of joy, there are several other things we miss. One such thing is hair – many parents do not consider taking care of their child’s hair to be a top priority. However, if you want your child to have a physical appearance that is not only pleasing, but also one that commands attention, you need to make sure that you pay equal attention to his or her hair too.Hair care of children

As is the case with adults, it is important that the hair of children too be detangled first, before they are washed or tied up. However, detangling hair in little ones can be a tough task at times and you need to have knack as well as patience to ensure that it does not end up in a crying session for your child.

It is best that you invest in a wide toothed comb or a paddle brush for your child. This will be especially useful, when you are trying to comb dry hair. Stay away from brushes which have tiny teeth, because they will certainly cause much pain to your young ones, mainly because the snags will get caught in them.

  • When you start detangling your child’s hair, the best tools are your own hands. Work your way upwards, slowing detangling the lowest parts of the hair first. Make sure you use gentle hands to detangle you hair, because that way you can make sure that there is minimal breakage. Make sure you handle the hair at the nape of the neck too, because there are bound to be tangles in the short hair there too.
  • If there are some truly nasty snarls, it is best that you not wet them, because they will only become worse. If you do find some such snarls, you should ideally spray some detangling solution or even a small amount of regular conditioner and then gently comb it out, while holding onto the hair.

Now that your baby’s hair is completely detangled, it is time to head for a wash. But as is the case with adults, children’s hair too needs moisture.

  • It is best that you stick to normal and natural oils, such as coconut oil or olive oil. Then there is also the option of virgin coconut oil, which is extracted from coconut milk, as opposed to coconut flesh. Any of these oils can be used on a regular basis for your child’s hair.
  • It would be better if this oil is warmed up a little and then applied. A gentle massage, at least once a week, will prove to be truly beneficial. The oil need not be kept in hair for more than 30 minutes, before heading for a bath.

The next step is picking out the right shampoo for your child. Many parents make the mistake of using their shampoo for their children, but your child needs a shampoo meant for him or her. Shampoos meant for adults include strong chemicals such as ammonium laurel sulphate or sodium laurel sulphate, which are what allow the shampoo to lather up. Kid friendly shampoos will normally not have such strong chemicals and most of them will also ensure that your child’s eye does not sting.

  • If yours is an infant, then you need not wash hair more than once or twice a week. However, if your baby has a condition such as cradle cap, then you might need to wash a little more often. It would be prudent to talk to a doctor first and use a medicated shampoo.
  • Toddlers tend to get into a lot of mischief, which could include dumping things on their head or falling head first into sandboxes or meals! This is why, it is important that toddler hair be washed two to three times a week. It is important that you oil the hair regularly too, because frequent washing is bound to strip the hair of its natural oils.
  • When your baby grows up a little bit more and has a better control over the daily habits, there will be lesser need to wash hair each day. Oily or normal hair can be washed every other day, but dry or curly hair should not be washed more than twice or thrice a week. For such hair, regular use of conditioner is also recommended.

No matter what the age of your child, if he or she prefers to take a bath in a tub, it is advisable that that hair be washed at the end. This will ensure that your child is not sitting in the shampoo foam filled water for a long time.

You might be keeping your child’s hair oiled, washed and conditioned, but his or her hair style is just as important. It is important that your hair is trimmed on a regular basis and this should ideally be done at a kids friendly salon. If you take your child to your regular salon, there is quite the chance that the staff there might not be equipped to handle a child. For parents who are handy with a pair of scissors, there is always the option of trimming hair at home.

Children, especially girls love wearing all kinds of hair accessories, including clips and bands. However, make sure that you choose accessories that are child safe and without any sharp edges, because those could damage the scalp. A good idea would be to keep the hair neatly tied, because that would reduce the chance of tangling.

There are many people who think that hair does not require any special attention, simply because the weather has changed, this could not be farther from the truth.

Just like your skin and lips, your hair too suffers during the harsh winter months, and you need to give it some extra care. This article looks at some of the most common problems and simple tips and tricks that you can keep handy, to ensure that your hair looks lush and lovely, irrespective of the weather outside. So here are some tips and ideas to care you hair in winter season.

how to care your hair in winter

  • The wonder that is olive oil – The world has recognised the benefits of olive oil and while it might come as a surprise to many, olive oil is actually beneficial to hair as well. During the winter months, you can warm a little olive oil and use that to massage your scalp. The gentle massaging will stimulate the scalp, and the oil will penetrate deep inside, offering true nourishment.
  • Forget the daily wash – While you might be someone who enjoys standing under the hot water shower for a long time, it would be best that you give up the same during the winter months. It is best that you reduce the number of times you wash your hair in a week to one or two. In the winter months, the hair does not dry quickly enough and this leads to increased brittleness. It would also be best that you not wash your hair with very hot water, because that will lead to dryness. Use lukewarm water, which will allow you to clean your hair, without drying the scalp.
  • The conditioner magic – You might have oiled and shampooed your hair, but you cannot afford to forget the conditioner. Good conditioners will offer an enhanced level of hydration to your hair. You could also choose to mix in your conditioning oil with the conditioner, which can be left in the hair for ten to fifteen minutes and then washed off with lukewarm water.
  • Dry with care – It is important that you dry your hair with care every day, but it becomes all the more important during the winter months. You can either choose to sit in front of a room heater, use a hair dryer or let your hair dry naturally, but you need to make sure that your hair is completely dry, before you tie it up!
  • Make one day a hair day – Once a week, take the time out to pamper your hair, and offer it a deep conditioning treatment. You would either head to your favourite salon or simply invest in some effective products that can be used at home. There are plenty of hair masks that can be purchased or even leave in conditioners, which can work wonders during winter months.
  • Say bye-bye to itchy scalp – Your scalp can get itchy and dry during the winters, leading to flaky scalp as well. This is what eventually leads to dandruff, which is why you need to take care of your scalp. Your first step towards ensuring that this does not happen would be to reduce the time you spend in the hot shower, because the hot water will certainly dry your scalp. Make sure that every time you wash your hair, you oil it first, as this will offer the much needed hydration
  • Make way for smooth hair – During the winters, most people feel that their hair is getting rough. For this too, the solution is oiling, shampooing and conditioning. It is best that you massage your hair with coconut, olive or jojoba oil, and then use a shampoo that suits your hair best. Finally, condition your hair properly and you could also use a leave-in conditioner, once your hair is semi-dry. It would also be a good idea to let your hair dry naturally, instead of blow drying it.
  • Blow away the frizz and static – Winters normally bring with it static in the hair, and lead to making it extremely frizzy too. All this happens because of the loss of natural oils from the scalp. In order to avoid such a situation, you can opt for a wide toothed comb, in addition to oiling your hair on a regular basis. Wearing a hat would also help reduce the frizz, but make sure that you cover your hair with a cotton or silk scarf first.
  • Dandruff under control – Yet again, losing oils from your scalp can lead to dryness and this will cause dandruff too. While oiling your hair would be the best bet, you can try a simple home remedy too. In a little warm oil, mix a little lemon juice and apply on the scalp. The oil will moisturise while the lemon will offer better cleaning of the scalp. Make sure you wash the concoction off with warm water.

The winters might be difficult in many senses, but your hair can actually enjoy this weather, if you are willing to take a few steps. As mentioned before, you might want to reduce the number of times you wash your hair in the week. And while you might still want to enjoy standing under the hot shower, all you need to do is cover your hair with a shower cap. Invest in some essential oils and use them as and when required. Ensuring that your hair is trimmed on a regular basis will also help you in keeping them healthy!

When you head to your nearby super market or medical store, you will truly find yourself lost in the number of aisles that stock nothing but shampoos, conditioners and other hair care products. While the bright packaging and interesting advertising campaigns might entice you, it is very important that you pick these products with care, because with the wrong products, you just might end up with much lesser hair to take care of!

A good shampoo and conditioner might be your easiest way out to lustrous and healthy hair, and there are a few points that you need to keep in mind while picking the same out.

Identify your scalp

The shampoo and conditioner you choose work not only on your hair, but also your scalp. As a matter of fact, the shampoo cleans your scalp, and only a clean scalp can be home to healthy hair. This is why it is important that you choose a shampoo that works well with your scalp and hence the need to identify your scalp type.

Normally, there are only two types of scalps – oil or dry and it would be easy enough to identify either. If your hair constantly feels greasy, then chances are that you have an oily scalp. However, if your hair feels dry, frizzy and you seem quite prone to flaky skin on the scalp, then you might have a dry scalp.

Choosing a shampoo for an oily scalp

15454938-shampoo-woman-washing-hair-hair-care-image It would be advisable to choose shampoos that have words like strengthening, volumizing and balancing on the label, as these are the products which have a lower moisturising content. Stay away from shampoos that claim to provide better hydration or moisture, because that is what you want to avoid. You would also want to steer clear of shampoos that are ideal for curly hair, because this type of hair requires an enhanced level of moisture.

Daily clarifying shampoos might work well, but you need to make sure that you do not go overboard, because doing that will instigate your scalp to produce more oil to negate the dryness. If you have coloured hair, then you need to make sure that you choose a shampoo that is compatible. It is also important that you work the shampoo into your scalp, because this will not only help clean the scalp, but also break up the oil. However, keep the conditioner away from the scalp as it acts mainly on the hair.

Choosing a shampoo for a dry scalp

Simply because you have dry scalp, it does not mean that you do not have to shampoo your scalp, because even dry scalps can get dirty. However, it is important that you choose the shampoo, after understanding the ingredients in the same. Look for shampoos that provide deep hydration or moisture, ensure smoothening or are meant for your curly hair. You might want to stay away from shampoos that are fortifying or volumizing, because these will remove any moisture that might be present on your scalp.

Try to find shampoos that have ingredients like tea tree oil or menthol as these are known to soothe dry scalps and can also help you, should have issues with flaking.

It is also important to understand your hair type, in order to choose the ideal shampoo and these are some of the most common types of hair:

 

  • Normal hair: There are only a lucky few who have this kind of hair, which means that almost everything will work for you. All you need to do is choose a shampoo that will gently cleanse your hair. Pick shampoos that have ingredients such as white tea or wheat protein and are high on vitamins A, C and E.
  • Oily hair: If you have oil hair, this means that you have an oil scalp and that would mean that you need to choose a shampoo that will suit oily hair. Pick shampoos that will wash away the excess oil and provide a clean feel. Tea tree oil is known to help maintain the oil balance in your hair.
  • Dry hair: Dry hair is often synonymous with hair that is damaged or has been chemically treated. Hair that is constantly subjected to heat and chemicals, tends to dry over a period of time. It is important that if you have dry hair, you choose a shampoo that will provide ample hydration. Look for formulas that will help detangle your hair and smoothen at the same time. In addition, dry hair also requires a good conditioner.
  • Thick hair: Thick hair might look beautiful, but it also needs a lot of tender loving care. You need to make sure there is enough moisture to control the sheer volume and that your hair does not end up looking frizzy. Shampoos that contain soy protein, avocado oil or even oil extracted from macadamia nuts will work well for you.
  • Thin or fine hair: This is the type of hair that will truly benefit from shampoos that offer better volume or greater strength. Some of the ingredients that you should look for, in your shampoo would include lemongrass, rosemary, lavender oil or even nettle root.
  • Curly or wavy hair: Moisture is the key to healthy curly or wavy hair, which is why you need to make sure that you provide sufficient hydration. Natural nourishment can be gained from ingredients such as olive oil, glycerine, jojoba oil or even shea butter.
  • Colour treated hair: If your hair has been treated or has been coloured, then you need to make sure that you stay away from shampoos that have sulphate in them. Choose shampoos that will nourish your hair, and keep in mind your scalp type.

A three year old in a simple cotton dress was making her way to the local grocery store, when a lady standing nearby noticed her beautiful shoulder-length hair, pinned on one side with a flower clip. A 30 year old IT professional despite a stressful routine sports a crop of healthy hair, while his not-so-young mother has given up on thinning her thinning hair.  Is it genes that make some people lucky to have silky, shiny tresses without even bothering to read whether their shampoo has shikakai or not? Or is it something else, a secret that doesn’t lie within but outside the individual like a protein-rich diet that promotes hair regrowth naturally? Well, to let you in on a not-so-secret secret: healthy hair stems from healthy hormones. Which is why you should go for iron, vitamins and even gelatin, with a vengeance. The glycin found in gelatin particularly helps you sleep well while the amino acids function in another super way – weight regulation.

However, a contrasting theory prescribes going lean on the meat! The safe alternative is to avoid hormonal imbalance by cutting down on your caffeine intake. Try substituting coffee with herbal tea when the craving hits and choose coconut oil over peanut, vegetable, soybean oil and ditch the margarine for olive oil. There’s also a healthier way to cook, like not reheating oil and using glassware or non-coated pots and pans. Exercise lightly and give your body, which of course includes the hair too, the building blocks it needs. For instance, incorporating cod liver oil, omega-3 fats and magnesium to smoothen out the googlies that can ruin your beauty sleep and give you worry wrinkles. Flax seeds, walnuts, avocados are what you should be munching along with a lavish dose of oats and sea vegetables. Another easy thing to do is to weed out tap water as the chlorine and fluorine in it prevent iodine absorption in our body.

So take the fun way out: eat healthy and optimize your sleep all in an effort to fix your master hormone – leptin.

A yummy breakfast with wholesome honey, protein-boosting eggs and system-cleansing yoghurt is also a delicious treat for your hair!  Since time immemorial, eggs are known for their moisturizing and conditioning properties and used along with the traditional henna. Equally famous anti-dandruff diet for the hair is good old lemon juice; just a few drops will do.  And if you plan to raid your kitchen, go the whole hog!  Why leave out the oils to languish on the shelves? Opt for olive oil, given the enviable title of ‘godmother of hair oils’ to fight the flakes, avocado oil to temper unruly hair or the lavishly-laden-with-Vitamins-D-and-E wonder-drops almonds to control hair fall. Then there’s saffola oil known for its prowess to make hair thick by stimulating blood circulation when massaged in the scalp while rosemary oil stops greying and adds that much-needed luster to your locks. Coconut oil like almond oil is akin to ambrosia for hair. It is most commonly used in South Indian households for serpentine tresses and the smelly castor oil has also earned fame for itself by doing its bit and that’s quite a significant bit: preventing scalp infections and reducing split ends.

There are many such kitchen remedies with handy ingredients. Simply open the fridge and guzzle some frothy -oops, we mean make your hair guzzle some beer! A beer rinse a fortnight for that catwalk shine and some nice bonding with individual hairs. Now, who wouldn’t like this kind of therapy? Another rinse to try is one part vinegar mixed with three parts water. Spray this and you’ll eliminate that dirt dump created by your expensive shampoo which made your mane so pathetic in the first place. And while the fridge is still open, bring out the mayonnaise too. Lay it out really thick especially on the cursed split-ends, not your scalp.

Now how about some dessert for your beauties? Fruit salad, it has to be. Or will your braids prefer to sip some juice? Cucumber, peaches, watermelon…you get the drift, don’t you?

However, if severe and stubborn dandruff cripples your lifestyle or you are unable to combat hair fall on a war footing, perhaps it’s time to turn to experts for professional help.  Consult world-renowned dermatologists and trichologists, panel of surgeons and team of specialists at A K Clinics for queries or consultations ranging from thinning hair to baldness, hair transplants to hair reconstruction. https://akclinics.org/ awaits you.

These tips are particularly important to people who suffer from extreme dandruff, regular brushing will help keep dandruff under control. Just remember to do it with a quality hairbrush, specifically one with natural bristles.
  • Get your hair trimmed off every month. Every 30 days, cut about a 1/8 of the ends of your hair off in order to promote its growth and shed dead ends. You will see that this even helps ease your ability to style your hair.
