Artificial mode of hair drying technique like blow dryer and hot rollers can make your hair dry and lifeless. Allow your hair to dry on its own. If you can’t wait, make sure to use dyer from a distance. Also try to keep your hair dry. Wet hair leads to hair fall and dandruff.
Stay Away From Hair-styling Products
