Hair care tips from all over the web and word of mouth

8 months ago I started to lose almost 50% of my hair due to an illness. I’m pleased to say that my hair’s condition currently is probably the best it has ever been. Hence I am going to share all the haircare tips that I have compiled so far. The ones in pink text are the ones that worked for me personally 🩷

My hair profile : oily flaky scalp, straight, low porosity, smooth, small cross section

Inverted head massage 💆‍♀️ - I do this while shampooing and drying, not sure if it increased growth but definitely results in a voluminous look

Avoid hot water for washing🚿 - this is really important but I can’t get myself to do it in the winter 🥶

Hair oiling 🛢️- been doing it all my life but this time I did some research and discovered that it’s not the oil that helps, but the massaging and the stimulating ingredient infused in the oil. I made a diy fenugreek oil and used it twice a week.

Get blood test 🩸- if you notice sudden hair fall with no apparent reason then it’s a good idea to get tested. Since I had been sick so this happened automatically and I have been taking the supplements I require.

Sun protection ☀️ - you can’t really apply sunscreen on your scalp so it’s best to use hats/umbrellas/scarves

Rosemary 🌱 - I used rosemary water and it helped balance oil on my scalp. The compound in rosemary which aids hair growth is oil soluble so you will have to use rosemary oil (mixed with carrier oil) for that purpose. The water isn’t really for growing hair.

Limit heat styling tools 🔥

Use a wide toothed comb 🪮 - I have fine hair so I would always use fine combs as a kid and rip my healthy hair out. Recently got on hair brushes with widely spaced bristles and combing hair has been much more pleasant. Even working with hair tangled by the wind is easier🌬️

Remember, everyone’s hair is unique, so it’s important to find what works best for you. If you’re facing hair loss then take care of your mental health first and be patient as it can take time to improve 🫶

Some additional tips in this image: ⚠️ the first massage tool should not be used on wet hair as it can lead to more damage. Some people use it while shampooing but that’s when our hair is the most fragile. Use it on dry hair or while oiling.

I’ve been loving this style of Indonesian makeup. Being a downturned eyed person, I find this refreshing to see among all the siren/snatched/cat eyed looks.

Banana cake from eggless recipes book by O. H. Thompson available on Pinterest.

I used 3/4 cup sugar instead of 1 but it was still too sweet. I suggest 1/2 cups especially if the bananas are extra sweet. Also incorporated yellow food colour in the water to give more banana vibes.

Texture was moist and chewy.

Overall it was delicious and my family also enjoyed it.
