• Use of cosmetics and straightening agents should be avoided to prevent your hair from exposure to harmful chemicals and other additives.

• In a view to avoid dust and pollutants, try to cover your head before going out. This would protect you from these pollutants and prevent the atmospheric dust to settle at the base of the scalp. This will keep your hair healthy.

• Get regular trimming of your hair in every two months. Short hair tends to be easier to manage and to look after.
