Hair Care

Match the shampoo to the problem

Hair care goes wrong when people buy on brand rather than on what their hair is actually doing. Four common problems, four different formulas:

• Dandruff and an itchy scalp — you need an active anti-dandruff agent, not a general shampoo. Garnier Fructis Anti-Dandruff 2-in-1 is the one to start with, and it needs a couple of minutes of contact with the scalp before you rinse.
• Breakage and split ends — damage from heat styling, colouring or hard water. Goodbye Damage and Oil Repair 3 Butter both target this.
• Dryness and frizz — very common in Pakistan's harder water areas. Aloe Hydra Bomb is built for hydration.
• Hair fall — this one needs care. Hair falling because it is breaking mid-length responds well to strengthening treatment. Hair receding at the temples or thinning at the crown is a different condition entirely, and no shampoo or cosmetic serum will change it. That is a dermatologist's job, not a shopping decision.

Oiling, honestly

Oiling is part of hair care across the subcontinent for good reason — it reduces protein loss during washing and helps dry, brittle lengths. Himani Navratna's herbal cool oil is the traditional cooling formula, and it works best applied to the scalp an hour or two before washing rather than left in for days.

Styling that holds in humidity

Karachi and Lahore summers defeat most styling products. Gels with a firm hold — L'Oreal Men Expert InvisiControl, or got2b Glued for genuinely stiff hold — outlast creams and pomades in humidity. Apply to towel-dry hair rather than soaking wet.
