Best Hair Care Tips & Secrets From Indian Girls

Best Hair Care Tips & Tricks!

Mansi C.  I use homemade hair spray instead of using chemical ones. I make it by taking 2 cups of hot water and then adding 1 tablespoon each of salt, coconut oil and hair gel;. Trust me it holds the style perfectly. Tried and tested.
Ingenious, I must give it a try Mansi!

The Miss Shweta: I make my ponytail look fuller by using the hair clip trick.I pull my hair into a ponytail at the back of the crown of my head and secure it with a hair tie. Separate it into two sections (top and bottom), and with a small-to-medium sized claw hair clip, clip hair at the base of the ponytail, underneath the top section. Then I place the top section of hair over the clip and spray a bit of dry shampoo to get a fuller texture and hide the clip.

Sometimes we need to fake It Until We Make It;) True that, sista 😉

Chenar: On days when I don’t have the time to have a co-wash or wash, I resort to the crimping effect hairstyle, this is easy, just damp your hair a bit, make multiple thin braids and let it dry. After it has dries completely when you open these braids it looks like you have crimped your hair! This is a very cool method as it adds volume to your hair.
Hi5. I do this all the time.

Bhavya N. I have straight hair but not everyday do I wake up with straight and manageable hair. Sometimes I just wake up with frizzy &unmanageable hair. Undoubtedly, there are ‘bad hair days’.. Sometimes the trick is to give my ‘messy hair a messier look’ by making a messy bun. No one can then make out that my hair are ‘messy because of messy bun’ or ‘messy bun made my hair messy.’ Either way, I shine..Hehe..

But at times to control frizz while going out, I just use this technique which I learnt few years back. For this technique, I just need a mascara wand and some hairspray and my problem gets solved magically. I took the wand from an old mascara that I don’t use anymore and cleaned it properly. I spray a small quantity of hairspray to it and then take the pieces of hair that are frizzy and start brushing them with the mascara wand until they get straight and I can observe the difference . The great thing about this trick is that I can always carry a small bottle of hairspray in my bag with a mascara wand and fix my problem wherever I am in just a few minutes. The mascara wand works as a magic wand for me. That is the smart trick I use to get the perfect hair do.

Neha Balihar: Coconut milk treatment – extract milk from 1 coconut by first grating and then
blending the coconut. Add the juice of 1 fresh lime to this. Mix well and keep in the refrigerator. Next day a creamy layer has formed – use this on hair and scalp. Cover the head with a hot towel and keep for an hour. Wash with water and comb with a wide toothed comb.

Vaishali Jain: Being around the wedding season in recent days, I got little upset with partition gap of my hairs. I wanted to have that models look with fully covered hair. Thanks to google who sorted my this problem with a very handy solution.Applying eye shadow similar to your hair colour will work wonders and hide the gap between partitions of hairs.
I tried it recently, I can now vouch for it 🙂

Now, we went back and forth while choosing the winners and ultimately this lovely lady won us over with her sense of humour!

The winning entry!
Dollie Solanki: Here’s my smart trick for the perfect hair do: Give both the boys their iPads, go to the salon and get your hair shampooed and blow dried! Lol. For a mom of two hyperactive boys, getting a perfect hairdo at home is Mission Impossible…..without Tom Cruise ;p . Perhaps the Philips Air Straightener would change that into Mission Possible.
