Never has the hair been discussed more than it is being today. Suddenly, we seem to be living in a world which needs to have every adjective in the English language attached to their hair (Lustrous, Shiny, Bouncy, Noisy, Happy, Inquisitive, Squeaky and Shy)

 

If you switch on your television right now, you will be assaulted by a large number of TV commercials about Hair Care products (56 million) within the span of a really short time (1/17^th of a second).  The sheer volume of these commercials are enough to convince me that the world economy depends on the state of my hair.

 

Hair Care basically means, ensuring that your hair does not resemble anything found on Anil Kapoor’s chest. Hair must be well looked after, through the use of several products, adequate diet and occasionally police protection. Good hair is the result of your shampoo mating with your conditioner and hair oil.

 

Although it sounds really easy when put like that, in reality this business of shampooing is tough. Depending on your hair type and the dermatological problem that you are facing, you will have to use a specific shampoo. For example, there’s one shampoo for dry hair only, one for making it smooth and silky. But that wont make your hair long and strong. For that there’s a different shampoo. Thinking logically and like a true gujrati, if you mixed the smooth and silky shampoo and the long and strong shampoo, you would get, you guessed it - Hair Loss. Now you know why the word shampoo has the words 'sham' and 'poo'built into it.

 

Also, if you want hair that looks like it could be used as equipment to scale mountains then its absolutely imperative that you use Hair Oil. Without oil, hair becomes rough, dry and frizzy. However it is also important that you know how to apply it correctly.

 

Applying oil the right way:

 

1. Heat oil to a warm temperature before applying. Ensure that the oil is not too hot because that would make it an ancient Chinese torture technique.

 

2. Make partitions in your hair while oiling. This allows oil to spread into all areas of the scalp and makes you look like a more authentic government official. 

 

3. Massage gently for 10 to 15 minutes. For best results ensure that the massage does not stray below the head.

 

4. Leave the oil for atleast 5 to 6 hours. This ensures that you leave oil prints all over the pillows and lets the oil sink into the scalp and disappear into your body.

 

5. Oil atleast once a week and if your hair is still very dry, try setting it on fire. You’ll be surprised at how well it’ll burn.

  

Am sure when Historian’s of the future, if they ever get the time from taking care of their hair, ever look back at our era, they will brand this moment in history as the Hair Care Revolution. And the only one's who will be left out of this utopian world of perfect hair will be the bald people. For everyone else, the future looks oily.
