All About Hairstyling at Home in collaboration with Dyson

 

Does styling your hair at home makes it dry and frizzy? Want to know how to reduce it?

 
 
Here is a QnA session on hairstyling with Sumit Israni – Celebrity Hair Designer and MD, Geetanjali Salons.

Q1. I want to know if I have to use a hair serum before styling my hair with hairstyles

 Yes, because hair serum coats your hair, it can help protect your strands from different types of damage. This includes damage caused by:

  • chemical processing (like coloring, perming, or straightening)
  • heat damage (from blow-drying and heated styling tools)
  • environmental stress (like sun exposure)
  • mechanical stress (due to repeated hairstyling)
  • Some hair serums are marketed as heat protectants, which are applied before using heat styling tools.

Q2.The ends of my hair are dry and rough – what is the solution to this?

It is not possible to repair Split ends. Cutting them off is the only reliable way to get rid of them. You can visit your salon or take an appointment with your stylist for a haircut.

Q3.My hair becomes frizzy at times as it is subjected to coloring. How can I take care of the same?

After you have color-treated your hair, it is stripped of all of its natural oils. Dry, frizzy ends are a common problem and will eventually need to be trimmed off. For frizzy hair, you can try the following:

  1. You can tame the frizz by using the right styling tool for yourself. Please ensure you smoothen out the frizz with a good hairdryer or straightener.
  2. Try some solutions like applying apple cider vinegar and coconut oil might help you get relief from this issue.
  3. Good massage with warm oil,
  4. Wrap a warm towel on the head after massage. Use a homemade hair mask to give extra nourishment to your hair.
  5. Avoid combing wet hair.

Q4.  Can I use Hairstylers daily? If yes, which one and what all precautions or care should be taken?

Most hair styling tools use heat and hence damage your hair. At 180*C and above our hair gets permanently damaged and this is irreversible. You can do many things to make sure the texture and look & feel of hair gets better – but those will be temporary. Regular hair spas, haircuts, breakage treatments can help maintain the health of your hair.

The only machines that do not cause extreme damage are Dyson hair machines, the Airwrap uses air to style hair and not extreme heat. The machine is a smart, intelligent tool that does not let the temperature go above 150*C. It is a great self-styling tool you can use at home.

Q5.My hair is very thin very dry, sparse with loß of hair 

Warm oil massage, use a mild shampoo, avoid heat products. Also pls consult your hair specialist for suggestions on the spacing between hair

Q6.My hair is very frizzy, break very easily. I want to get volume and shine back, any expert suggestions?

For frizzy hair you can try the following:

  1. You can tame the frizz by using the right styling tool for yourself. Please ensure you smoothen out the frizz with a good hairdryer or straightener.
  2. Try some solutions like applying apple cider vinegar and coconut oil might help you get relief from this issue.
  3. Some styles which can be recommended for your hair type are to go for a messy look like waves or you can go for a messy ponytail which also looks good.
  4. A layered haircut gives a more voluminous look. When your hair is cut in layers, it does not take weight on the strands at the top and this is the reason why it does not look flat and weighed down. This kind of haircut also helps to retain the shape given to thick hair at the time of cutting for a much longer time.

Pro tip: It is better to blow dry your hair upside down with the dryer directed to the roots.

Q7. My hair has suddenly become very dry and rough even after applying a serum it still remains the same. Please advise

Since we are spending more time at home, it’s good to follow a healthy hair care routine at home. Some quick and easy ways to do this:

  • Hot oil massage: It is extremely good to nourish our scalp from deep within.
  • DIY mask: Eggs and curd are great nourishers for dry hair.
  • Hot towel: Helps in deep conditioning the mask or oil.
  • Don’t forget your hair serums, these help in forming a protective layer for your hair.
  • Avoid combing your wet hair:
  • Wet hair is weak hair. Drying your hair with a towel or brushing and combing your hair can overstretch the strands and weaken them to the breaking point. Bad brushing could also hurt the shiny outer layer of your hair, making it feel rough and look dull. We recommend using a dryer to blast dry hair and smoothen out all tangles. You can try the Dyson Airwrap styler here that lets you dry and style at the same time.

Q8.My hair has become dry, frizzy and there is a lot of hair fall. What can I do to make them silky and shiny?

For frizzy hair you can try the following:

  1. You can tame the frizz by using the right styling tool for yourself. Please ensure you smoothen out the frizz with a good hairdryer or straightener.
  2. Try some solutions like applying apple cider vinegar and coconut oil might help you get relief from this issue.
  3. Some styles which can be recommended for your hair type are to go for a messy look like waves or you can go for a messy ponytail which also looks good.

For hair fall a warm hair oil massage, hair mask, good quality serum, wrapping warm towel, healthy diet, and avoid combing of wet hair as it damages hair and increases the chance of breakage.

Aloe vera has long been used as a trusted source for treating hair loss. It soothes the scalp and conditions hair. It reduces dandruff and also unblocks hair follicles that may be blocked by excess oil. You can apply pure aloe vera gel to your scalp and hair few times per week. Consuming omega fatty acids can help to improve your hair from the inside since they are filled with nutrients and proteins. If you can manage the smell of onion juice, you may find the benefits are worth it.

What should I look for before buying a hair styling tool?

Depends on which styling tool you are looking for.
For any styling tool: You should look for a tool that can control temperature accurately. All hair is different in texture and thickness so you should find the perfect temperature for your styling needs. Many have a misconception on more heat = better style, which is not the case.
