Try one of these natural ways to cure dandruff and prevent your hair from damages.

How to care your hair

• Brush your hair regularly before going to bed each night.

• Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Use very little but enough to cover hair completely with lather. Use a conditioner to keep hair manageable.
• Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.
• Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture.
