Planning your wedding is super fun and a very exciting phase of life, undoubtedly. But this comes with its share of stress and drama. And one direct negative effect of all that stress and busy schedule is hair loss. Not having luscious, healthy looking hair on your big day is just not an option, is it? Since hair fall for brides is such a common concern, we decided to help you tackle it. Brides-to-be, we present to you, 10 awesome and oh-so-effective ways to battle hair fall so you have a gorgeous mane to flaunt on D-Day.
1. Nothing like a hot oil champi
This will not only reduce hair fall, but also your stress levels. A much-needed remedy, we say. The good ol’ champi will regulate blood flow in your scalp and revive your hair. It’s a great way to strengthen the roots too. So get the mother of the bride to give you head massages so your mane looks fab on the big day.
2. Fewer hair products, please
You will be tempted to use all kinds of hair creams and serums to make your hair look better but it’s best to stay away from all the chemicals, ladies. In the long run, these will do more harm than good.
3. Hello, healthy eating and drinking
Eating iron-rich foods like spinach and other leafy veggies, chicken, fish and lentils will help cure your hair fall. Your hair is mostly a reflection of what you eat, so gorge on these foods and get glossy, healthy hair in time for your wedding day. Avoiding alcohol and guzzling plain water or coconut water instead, will work wonders too!
4. Bye-bye heat and styling products
This is something many of us are guilty of, these days. Using various straighteners, curlers and hair dryers causes hair damage and loss so keep them at bay, brides-to-be. And if you must, style your hair only on special occasions during the months running up to your big day.
5. Use a wide-toothed comb
Brushing your hair correctly is imperative. Always use a wide-toothed comb as it isn’t too harsh on the roots when you detangle your hair with it. Also, avoid combing wet hair altogether. Wet hair means fragile roots and you don’t want any more hair fall, brides.
6. Consult your dermat
Sometimes hair loss is hereditary or for reasons beyond what we can understand. Paying your dermatologist a visit can be helpful. They might suggest some medical treatment or supplements that can help sort your problem. So brides, take your appointment and treat your hair right, to dazzle all the guests at your wedding.
7. Weekly punch of hair packs
There are umpteen natural ways to strengthen weak and damaged hair that you can easily do in the comfort of your home. An egg and curd mask or just a simple aloe vera gel hair pack applied twice a week can regenerate your hair like never before. Instead of spending on chemical-laden products, take out some time at home on a weekly basis and naturally treat your hair to look fab at your shaadi.
8. Health supplements to the rescue
Be it a dose of iron capsules or certain vitamins – consult your doc and take a course of health supplements. You’ll be surprised at how effective a remedy this is, bride-to-be.
9. Trimming helps too
Getting a hair trim frequently during the run-up to the wedding is a healthy practice. It rids the hair of split and damaged ends giving your mane a nourished and healthy finish. Snipping off the unhealthy part of hair strands maintains healthier hair growth, and healthy hair means less hair fall, brides-to-be.
10. Stop stressing and calm down!
Last but definitely not the least, attack the problem at its root, bride-to-be. The wedding will go on smoothly and you will look drop dead gorgeous! So stop stressing, kick back and get some rest. Being stress-free will make this process a lot more fun and your hair will be the least of your concerns.
