Does your hair also feel tangled, dry, or chippy everyday? Does the shine seem to be missing even after shampooing every time? Don’t worry, you are not the only one facing this problem because these days it has become a common hair struggle for every other girl.
To be honest, there is no magic to make hair
healthy, shiny and manageable, you just need a right hair care routine. But the problem arises here that everyone’s hair type is different, like some people’s hair is dry, some’s frizzy, some’s oily and some’s super curly. So in such a situation it is not possible for a single routine to work for all.
Keeping these things in mind, today in this blog we will share with you a complete, easy-to-follow hair care routine for ladies which is perfect for all hair types like dry, oily, curly, straight or chemically treated.
So without any delay, let’s start giving our hair that routine which they really deserve!
Step 1: Know Your Hair Type
You can start your hair care routine only when you know your hair type.
Dry Hair: If your hair is dry, then these symptoms will be visible in which your hair feels rough, frizzy, with split-ends, and volume-less.
Oily Hair: If your hair is oily, then after 1-2 days of washing, the scalp feels chipped and dandruff starts appearing.
Normal Hair: In normal hair, your hair remains normal, like balanced scalp is neither too oily nor dry.
Curly/Wavy Hair: It has a curl pattern, there is more frizz.
Chemically Treated Hair: Smoothening, coloring, and rebonding hair demand extra care.
Tip: Observe the behavior of your hair’s scalp for 2-3 days without washing it so that you will know the true hair type of your hair.
Step 2: Choose the Right Shampoo & Conditioner According to Hair Type
Shampoo is not just for cleaning but for treating the scalp. Conditioner nourishes the hair. Your hair care routine will work only when the products are according to your hair type.
For Dry Hair:
Sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoos use ingredients like coconut milk and shea butter.
Use deep conditioners or hair masks weekly.
For Oily Hair:
Use clarifying shampoo which removes extra oil.
If you have oily hair, apply conditioner only on the ends, not on the scalp at all.
For Curly Hair:
Try co-washing (conditioner-only wash).
And use silicone-free conditioners.
Always avoid harsh shampoos, artificial fragrances, and alcohol-based products.
Step 3: Scalp Massage & Oil Treatment
Oiling is beneficial for every hair type – just customize the oil and quantity.
Dry Hair:
Coconut oil + castor oil combo (deep hydration)
Leave it overnight or keep it for 2-3 hours.
Oily Hair:
Use light oils like grapeseed and almond oil.
Keep it for just 1 hour and then wash.
Curly Hair:
Argan oil or olive oil are best.
Gently massage the scalp with fingers.
Warm it a little before applying oil, it helps in better penetration.
Step 4: Washing Routine
Your hair care routine will be healthy only when your washing schedule is fixed.
Dry Hair: 2 times a week is enough.
Oily Hair: You can wash it up to 3 times.
Curly Hair: Wash it only 1-2 times to avoid frizz.
Hair should always be washed with lukewarm water; hot water can dry the scalp.
Step 5: Drying & Detangling
The biggest mistake people often make after washing hair is rough towel drying and wet hair combing.
Correct Drying Tips:
Use a cotton t-shirt or microfiber towel.
Do not rub the hair, just press it gently.
Detangling:
Use a wide-tooth comb.
Do not comb wet hair, let it dry a bit.
For curly hair, try detangling it with fingers.
Tip: It is best to use serum during detangling for smoothness.
Step 6: Weekly Deep Treatment
A weekly deep mask is a must in your hair care routine.
DIY Hair Masks:
Dry Hair: Banana + honey + coconut oil
Oily Hair: Multani mitti + aloe vera
Curly Hair: Yogurt + argan oil + egg
Or use chemical-free, paraben-free hair masks from the market which provide both hydration and repair.
Step 7: Protect Your Hair—Heat, Sun, Pollution, and
Just cleaning and moisturizing is not enough to protect hair from heat and sun pollution. External factors also cause damage.
Protection Tips:
Use a scarf or hat to protect from sun exposure.
Do not use heat styling like straightener, dryer more than weekly.
Always use heat protectant spray before styling.
Use weekly clarifying shampoo against pollution.
Consistency is key: If you take regular care of your hair then your hair will get long-term results.
Step 8: Leave-In Products Extra Nourishment for Extra Shine
Leave-in conditioners, serums, and detangling sprays protect your hair throughout the day.
For Dry hair: Cream-based leave-ins
For Oily scalp: Use Lightweight, water-based sprays.
For Curly hair: Use Curl-defining creams and gels.
These steps bring extra magic to your hair care routine, specially for frizz control and shine.
Step 9: Night Hair Care Routine
It is equally important to take care of hair at night.
Tips:
Sleep after braiding your hair loosely, this avoids tangles and breakage.
Use satin or silk pillowcase which reduces friction
Weekly scalp massage and leave-in night serum—try it.
By following these steps, your hair gets hydration throughout the night without any extra effort.
Step 10: Healthy Diet = Healthy Hair
The more you take care of your hair outside, the more important it is to nourish your hair from inside.
Hair-Friendly Foods:
Protein-rich food: To make hair healthy, you should consume eggs, paneer, and lentils.
Iron & zinc: Spinach, nuts, and seeds make up for the deficiency of iron and zinc in hair.
Omega-3: Use flaxseeds, fish oil, and walnuts.
Hydration: Drink more water.
Hair care routine is complete only when your diet is also balanced.
