It is almost every girl’s dream to have luxuriant hair. Have you ever heard the story of Rapunzel? She had such magnificent long and strong hair that the prince could climb it.

Your hair needs protection
You need to protect your hair from the damage caused by the exposure to a hard-sun, rain, wind, dirt, heat and pollutants. They can cause a dry-scalp, dirt buildup or infections. So, think of covering your hair with a hat or umbrella.
Wet hair? Do not comb
As wet hair is fragile, it is easily damaged when combed. The strands of wet hair get entangled with each other, which makes brushing them so hard. So, you must avoid brushing your hair when wet. If you do not have time to dry your hair after a shower, use a shower cap to prevent your hair from getting wet.
Do not forget the conditioning
After every wash, do not forget to moisturize your hair with a good conditioner. It will prevent your hair from getting frizzy. But condition your hair properly. Too much conditioning may make your scalp unnecessarily oily.
Heat may damage your hair
Applying heat on your hair may damage it. So, use heating tools such as a dryer or straightener only when necessary. Heat can take away the natural oils and moisture and make your scalp rough and dry.
Say no to excessively tight hair ties

There are people who start pulling their hair when stressed. If you are one of them, you had better change this habit. And also, do not braid too tight before going to bed.
Dry your hair the right way
Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel in order to dry it. Pat dry your hair. Some women often damage their hair while trying to dry it faster. Some women use a hair dryer to dry their hair. But an excessive use of dryer may cause scalp-related issues.
Apply oil on the scalp
Apply oil on your scalp as often as you can. And use a natural shampoo to wash your head. Oiling is very beneficial for your hair and scalp, but do not overdo it. Because the scalp will have unnecessarily excessive oil and you will have to use more shampoo to clean it.
Eat healthy foods

These nutrients play a key role in the health of hair and scalp. So, provide all the essential proteins, vitamins, iron and other nutrients to your body to make it function up to its optimal level.
Reduce your use of chemicals
Chemicals may harm your body and hair. So, try replacing chemical-based products with the natural ones. There are available Ayurvedic shampoos, soaps and conditioners. As they are natural products, they do not render any side-effects if used properly.
