Healthy Hair And Split Ends

So I used to have long, strong and beautiful hair, don’t what happened over last two years but now my hair volume is halved, strands are thin and the ends are completely dry, brittle and weak. :(

Whenever I wash or comb my hair, like long strands are just continuously coming out. It’s real scary as I’m in my early 20’s.

Some background: I do have dandruff - my scalp is extremely flaky and itchy so I use an anti-dandruff shampoo. I’ve recently started using an antifungal cream in my scalp which has given me some relief. I never curl or straighten my hair and style my hair in anyway. I always air dry in the sun (only blow dry if it an absolutely must), and I do put some light oils like Moroccan oil to moisturise my hair.

So I appreciate your suggestions for the following questions:

  1. What can I do to prevent hair fall- i.e. make my hair stronger?
  2. Since trimming is out of the question, how do I treat my annoying split ends? Is there any product that helps binds the strands together?
  3. My friends say I should leave my hair out for a few days and not tie in bun/guutt for better air ventilation. Is this true?

Hi,

To be honest, trimming hair wont make much difference, its the health of the hair/scalp.

I cut my hair and i have really damaged hair. :(

I suggest the following;

Steaming your hair. I know it sounds odd but it adds moisture to your hair/scalp (Will help with both split ends and your dry scalp.

Basically, put a oil in your hair (scalp as well), use your fingertips to massage your scalp (dont rub it - that breaks hair). Wrap your head in cling film/shower cap and steam your hair. It works wonders!!

Morrocan oil is good but its dry oil. you want to start using a heavy oil (castor oil -mixed with olive oil or coconut oil) or just cocnut oil or amla oil. Do this overnight at least once a week.

I usually walk around the house with a oily head for 1 whole day and night and also if im washing my hair mid-week, i'll leave oil in it pre washing for atleast 30 mins.

Most importantly - get some healthy hair,skin, nails tablets from Holland and Barretts. I really noticed a difference with them!

Get a blood test done - Vit A/E/D deficiencies help cause bad hair/scalp.

I hope this works!!!

Oh, you can also get hydrating hair masks!! :)

leaving your hair open in night is one of the things
just tie a lose rumal or patka , tie your kanga with kirpan or if wearing pj's you can put it in pocket

i always keep one extra

so did Sant Jarnail singh ji

so that kanga will not come off

if you do not keep your hair loose
it gets dandruff

    • Definitely the Guru Sahibs would be a heavier Scriptures to handle. Dasam Granth is more towards Bir Rass, Guru Gobind Singh showed his Greatness (of course, they would never say this) by separating his own Baania.  And the BIGGEST test of all?? Do we try and read Dasam Granth, Understand n show respect like we do to SGGS? Or... Do we QUESTION it? Guru Gobind Singh Ji is testing us. 
    • was researching this and came back to this thread. Also found an older thread:    
    • Net pay after taxes. If you don't agree, think about this: If you were a trader and started off in China with silk that cost 100 rupees and came to India, and you had to pay total 800 rupees taxes at every small kingdom along the way, and then sold your goods for 1000 rupees, you'd have 100 rupees left, right? If your daswandh is on the gross, that's 100 rupees, meaning you have nothing left. Obviously, you owe only 10% of 100, not 10% of 1000. No, it's 10% before bills and other expenses. These expenses are not your expenses to earn money. They are consumption. If you are a business owner, you take out all expenses, including rent, shop electricity, cost of goods sold, advertising, and government taxes. Whatever is left is your profit and you owe 10% of that.  If you are an employee, you are also entitled to deduct the cost of earning money. That would be government taxes. Everything else is consumption.    
    • No, bro, it's simply not true that no one talks about Simran. Where did you hear that? Swingdon? The entire Sikh world talks about doing Simran, whether it's Maskeen ji, Giani Pinderpal Singh, Giani Kulwant Singh Jawaddi, or Sants. So what are you talking about? Agreed. Agreed. Well, if every bani were exactly the same, then why would Guru ji even write anything after writing Japji Sahib? We should all enjoy all the banis. No, Gurbani tells you to do Simran, but it's not just "the manual". Gurbani itself also has cleansing powers. I'm not saying not to do Simran. Do it. But Gurbani is not merely "the manual". Reading and singing Gurbani is spiritually helpful: ਪ੍ਰਭ ਬਾਣੀ ਸਬਦੁ ਸੁਭਾਖਿਆ ॥  ਗਾਵਹੁ ਸੁਣਹੁ ਪੜਹੁ ਨਿਤ ਭਾਈ ਗੁਰ ਪੂਰੈ ਤੂ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The Lord's Bani and the words are the best utterances. Ever sing hear and recite them, O brother and the Perfect Guru shall save thee. Pause. p611 Here Guru ji shows the importance of both Bani and Naam: ਆਇਓ ਸੁਨਨ ਪੜਨ ਕਉ ਬਾਣੀ ॥ ਨਾਮੁ ਵਿਸਾਰਿ ਲਗਹਿ ਅਨ ਲਾਲਚਿ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਪਰਾਣੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ The mortal has come to hear and utter Bani. Forgetting the Name thou attached thyself to other desires. Vain is thy life, O mortal. Pause. p1219 Are there any house manuals that say to read and sing the house manual?
