Here we brought some important point which you should keep in mind for perfect hair:

Prepare your hair:

• Oil your hair from roots to tips and don't massage too hard.
• You can use coconut, mustard or olive oil and even a combination for your pre-shampooing routine.

Rinse gently:

• This will remove extra oil from hair and scalp and wash off dry skin on the scalp.
• It will further help open the cuticles and soften the hair.
• When rinsing, keep in mind to not start rubbing hair immediately but wait for your hair to be soaking wet.

Shampoo your hair:

• For dry and damaged hair, it's best to opt for sulfate and paraben-free shampoo.
• Whereas for thin hair, go for a volumising shampoo.
• In any case, avoid shampoo with synthetic ingredients so that your hair doesn't get damaged.
• Don't rinse off the shampoo with warm water.

Apply conditioner:

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

Wash your hair with lukewarm water.

Apply a conditioning mask once a week.

Let your hair dry, the best way is to take a towel and wrap it around your head and soak all the extra water.
