Soft and Manageable Hair
1. Do you at any time either winter or summer use hot water for your hair?
2. When you use shower do you ever bend forward and wash your hair or just stand straight with your hair on your back?
If you answer yes to the first question, then it is very bad for your hair. Use water that is just slightly warm not even luke warm. Even luke warm water will give you this dryness problem and the hair will look spiky and uncontrollable.
If you want to use luke warm water for your bath then apply a few drops of oil into the ends of hair and spread it all over just after you wash your hair. You'll be able to manage your hair better.
If you ever stand straight, with your hair at the back, you tend to pour hot water down on to your hair also. This will spoil the hair and sometimes you tend to lose lots of hair too. Always bend and put the hair in to the front and then give it a wash. Once you have cleaned off the shampoo, tie it up in a separate towel on to the top of your head. Then finish your body bath.
You can dry your hair after that with the towel starting from the scalp to the ends. Give it a try and tell me how it is. Leave it to dry in open air. Do not use the hair drier, since it'll make the hair more drier.
Drink lots of water and fruit juices to keep your hair and scalp hydrated and this will help lots in getting the problems right.

The Right Steps to be Followed
Yes, The right steps should be followed if one wants to grow long hair. As I told you earlier, that it is a long term commitment. If you have to grow about 8" - 10" of hair, most probably it'll take about 12 to 14 months. For some it may be quicker as per their genetic trait.
The length of hair is hereditary, which we can't change much, but what we can do is to look after it nicely and carefully so that we get the maximum length we can get and maintain it healthy and shining.
Nutrition:
It is very very important that we take care of our diet. It should be nutritious , full of vitamins, calcium and proteins. Always add foods rich in proteins and calcium like milk and milk products, dry fruits and nuts, fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables.
You have to drink fluids, so that your body is able to flush out the toxins and waste material regularly and clearly. Only if your body is healthy, you can have healthy glowing face and hair.
You have to minimize the use of heat on your hair. Unless necessary and unavoidable , do not use hair driers, curling irons or straightening rods. These things spoil your hair roots and make the hair dry and brittle. It'll get you split ends and that is the worst enemy of long hair.
You have to be very careful with these split ends. Trim them off now and then to maintain hair growth but then the growth will get slower but the hair will be healthy and thick.
Avoid tension, be relaxed at all times. Keep your calm, if need be, then meditate for sometime in the mornings to keep tension far. Get at least 8-9 hours sleep daily.If you look after your health well, your hair will also be healthy and will not give you any trouble.

To Grow Your Hair
Growing hair is a very patient job. It takes at least three months to start seeing the results after you start to care for your hair.
It won't take very long for your hair to fall but to see it grow one has to have a lot of patience. But the end result will be the best you could ever have.
Hair extensions and transplanting are in some way or the other are hurting to the ego. If there is no other go then one can opt for that. If there is a little chance of getting real long hair then I would say go for it the natural way. You'll be proud of your hair and your achievement.
Hair growth is very slow. It'll grow at the rate of half an inch or more in a month i e about 6-8 " in a year. So you'll see the growth very late that is it'll take three months at least to show the result.
1. Look after your care nicely. You have to care for your hair . It should be clean, scrupulously squeaky clean. The hair should never feel greasy or sticky to the touch.
If you ever feel that your hair is sticky then you are late for your hair wash. You'll start seeing locks of hair on your comb. Oil massage and shampoo your hair before that happens.
2. Use mild herbal shampoos for that purpose. Make hair conditioner a habit or after bath when your hair is still damp apply a little oil on to your palms and just rub it into your hair. Finish off with the last rinse. Your hair will not have that dull look. It will shine with that little oil.

Method of using the hair oil
Some have the habit of washing the hair daily. I do. For those, slight application of a little hair oil with their fingertips on to their scalps will be enough.
For those who wash their hair only twice or thrice a week:
They can apply oil into the scalp the night before they have their hair wash. Massage your scalp nicely with the hair oil. You need not use oil liberally but a little ju7st enough for your scalp, so that it does not get dry and brittle. You also have to watch your hair ends so that it is well oiled. Tie your hair up and wash it the next day morning with a mild herbal shampoo.
For those who wash their once a week:
You have to have hot oil massage every week to see that your hair is oiled and is hydrated. Part your hair and with a cotton wool dipped in warmed oil, apply the whole of scalp and the hair till the ends. You have to use oil liberally. Then use your fingertips to massage your scalp nicely. Dip towel into hot water , squeeze it out of extra water and tie it up around your hair.
Change twice or thrice when the towel gets cold. Wash it after an hour atleast.
Dos and don'ts:
Please, please do not use drier to dry you hair.
Do not wet comb your hair.
Do not use bands on wet hair.
Let the hair open and dry out naturally. Or use a towel to wipe the extra water dripping.
Slightly rub the scalp to get the extra moisture out.
Do not use a comb for untangling the knots. If you have to, then use your fingers or a wide toothed comb.

Prematured Grey Hair
Yes the word "Grey Hair" depresses many and that too when it is prematured, there is no need to say anything about it.
Lack of care is the main point in getting grey hair.
If you take very good care of your hair, you are not likely to get any hair problems. I have gone through this problem myself and have been trying to tackle this for the past twenty five years. Now it is no more prematured but is salt & pepper time. But I have tried and once it shows it'll never vanish completely. So please take care of your hair nicely to avoid prematured greyness.
1. Apply oil liberally to your hair and scalp atleast once a week.
2. Massage it nicely with the cushions of your fingertips with circular motions and strokes without scratching your skin.
3. Take 2/3 towels, dip in hot water, squeeze out the extra water and tie around your head. Once it cools change towel. Repeat 3/4 times or till you feel the warmth all over the scalp.
4. Leave the hair tied up for half an hour more and then wash it off with a mild shampoo.
Take care of your hair this way and your hair will glow all by itself with health.
I'll give you the recipe of the hair oil to be used in case of greyness of Hair in the next post.
