Covering your hair does not mean you can neglect it. Just because no one can see what's inside does not mean you can just ignore them. Well, people like us (hijabis), we have high chances of hair fall. Because covering your hair the whole day means your hair could not have fresh hair. So here's a few tips I'd love to share:
Tying your hair:
It's a big no no to tie your hair when it's wet. Most of us don't realize that the cause of hair damage begins during the shower, when you tie your clammy hair as this weakens the thickness of your strands. Never tie your wet hair into a ponytail as it is fragile and therefore cause hair loss. Using hair elastic to tie dripping hair is definitely asking for more root damage and hair breakage. Make sure to dry your tresses before tying your hair.
Change your inner
I'm guilty when it comes to inner. I change my inner 2 days once. Because I was too lazy to wash them daily. But now, I changed them very often. Why? You wear it the whole day. All those dandruff, hair flakes and whatever you have in your hair stuck on that inner. Gross!! I know.
Take off your hijab
It's recess time for your hair once you reach home. Remove your hijab instantly. They need fresh air too you know. Air your hair anytime you have the chance.
Go to salon
'No hijab friendly salon la'. Well, you're wrong. Hijab friendly salon are now mushrooming these days. Even the normal hair salon will provide a separate area for those with tudung. You hair still need their treatment once in a while. Just like going to the spa.
Wet hair
Blow dry your hair before putting on your hijab. A wet hair can cause musky smell in the long run. Your hair doesn’t have any space to dry inside your inner and scarf so best is to get it dry first.
Serum
Well this is the last step in taking care of your hair. Invest in a good serum. Apply them before putting on your tudung. My favorite will be the Cool Hijab. My scalp instantly feel so refresh and cooling (contains peppermint). Most importantly it prevent scalp irritation.
