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!! :)

penji

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

and all the bad things happn

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
