Are you planning to experiment with new hairstyles this Diwali?
Are you tired of finding solutions to deal with pollution this festive season?
Are you thinking to up your hair care to prevent hair problems due to dust?
Well, before you up your game to tackle hair problems this Diwali, here are few tips from our expert Dr Sharmila Patil, Consultant Skin Specialist, Fortis Hospital, Mulund to help you out.
1. Make sure you opt for a proper oil massage to help fight the pollution in the air that will make the hair rough and dry. Also choose your shampoo and conditioner wisely, according to the texture of your hair; this will help keep it nourished and soft. Here are 4 tips from Shahnaz Husain for gorgeous hair this Diwali!
2. As you tend to use a lot of make-up, you tend to style your hair a lot, during Diwali. Make sure you do it only when absolutely required and use minimal styling products and heating equipment, on your hair. Over-styling does not allow the hair to breathe properly and will hamper the quality of the hair and hair growth.
3. One should also wash their hair more frequently than usual. Air pollution and usage of mousse, amongst other styling products, can prove to be harmful to the hair thus causing hair fall, roughness and split ends. There is a wide range of hair products especially hair serums, rich in peptides which not only protect the hair but also nourish them and help in growth.
4. Various hair treatments like colouring, straightening etc make the hair prone to the damage, hence they should be avoided if possible. As our skin needs protection from sun, even hair can be damaged due to heat (frequent hair-styling) and sun, therefore a scarf or umbrella when stepping out in daylight should be used.

5. Under medical supervision, various treatments like mesotherapy (a procedure in which multiple tiny injections of pharmaceuticals, vitamins, etc. are delivered into the mesodermal layer of tissue under the skin, to promote the loss of fat or cellulite) or Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (a newer method for the treatment of various types of hair loss and thinning; it also helps enhance the quality of hair) can be opted for, to enhance your hair quality.
