Q & A

What was Niharika's lifestyle before she started her hair care routine?

Niharika's lifestyle before starting her hair care routine was not health-conscious. She did not eat healthy food, had a disturbed sleep schedule, and engaged in habits like staying up late, waking up late, and using her phone excessively. She also tried different hairstyles but was generally lazy and didn't prioritize hair care.

What triggered Niharika to start focusing on her hair care routine?

Niharika began to notice severe hair fall, which led her to realize the need for a hair care routine. Additionally, her medical condition, including iron deficiency and low hemoglobin levels, contributed to the worsening hair fall.

What is Niharika's approach to hair oiling?

Niharika suggests using carrier oils like coconut oil, almond oil, and jojoba oil for hair care. She personally prefers coconut oil for its benefits in hair growth, shine, and reducing frizz. She also uses rosemary essential oil for hair fall prevention. She emphasizes combing the hair gently before oiling and applying oil in a gentle, non-rubbing manner.

What are some important tips for massaging the scalp during oil application?

When massaging the scalp, it's important to use your fingertips rather than nails to avoid damaging the scalp. Niharika also recommends using a hair massager to stimulate blood circulation, which is crucial for healthy hair growth. Additionally, she suggests applying oil only to the scalp and not the entire length of the hair.

How does Niharika suggest using a satin cap in her hair care routine?

Niharika recommends using a satin cap after oiling the hair. She suggests keeping the cap on for at least two hours, or overnight if possible. The satin cap helps to lock in moisture, ensuring that the oil penetrates the scalp more effectively, leading to better results.

What is reverse conditioning, and when does Niharika use it?

Reverse conditioning involves applying conditioner before shampooing. Niharika uses this technique every two to three weeks, especially when her hair is frizzy. It helps to manage frizz and adds moisture to the hair, providing a different approach compared to regular conditioning.

What is Niharika’s advice on drying hair after shampooing?

Niharika advises drying the hair gently by patting it with a microfiber towel rather than rubbing it, as rubbing can damage the hair strands. Microfiber towels are softer and less damaging than regular towels. She recommends wrapping the hair in a microfiber towel for 30 minutes to an hour after shampooing.

Why does Niharika avoid using heat styling tools?

Niharika avoids using heat styling tools like hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons because they can cause hair damage and contribute to hair fall. She emphasizes that excessive heat disrupts hair health and suggests natural alternatives for styling, like braiding damp hair for curls or leaving hair loose for straightness.

What is the importance of a healthy diet in hair care, according to Niharika?

Niharika highlights that nutritional deficiencies, particularly in iron, protein, and zinc, are major causes of hair fall. She advises including iron-rich foods like boiled eggs, leafy vegetables, and nuts in the diet. She also emphasizes taking iron supplements under medical guidance, as a balanced diet plays a key role in hair growth.

What is Niharika’s nighttime hair care routine?

Niharika’s nighttime hair care routine includes combing her hair with a wooden comb, wearing a loose protective hairstyle like braids, and using a satin pillowcase to prevent hair breakage. She also ensures that her hair is not tied tightly to avoid stressing the scalp, which could lead to further hair fall.
