You can choose to look at the current lockdown situation in two ways. You can either think of it as a punishment that's keeping you away from the things you enjoy, or you can view it as a much-needed break to invest in and take better care of yourself. Either way, the truth won't change, and the lockdown will continue for as long it has to. So really, you might as well use this inevitable free time, to do things that you can benefit from in the longer run. And that includes quality haircare.

Think about it, for the first time in ever, your hair isn't being exposed on a regular basis to harmful pollutants, drying weather conditions, or even harsh styling products that you used to generously lather on before heading to work. You no longer need to apply damaging heat to get your curls just right, or spend an hour straightening your locks to perfection. In other words, for the first time in ever, you have the freedom to let your hair just be. Which also makes it the perfect time, to work on restoring the natural good health of your hair by putting extra effort and love into taking care of your mane.

If you think you're on board, here are 5 hair care tips you should follow during the lockdown to ensure you come out with a head of shinier, silkier and healthier hair.

1. Generously Oil Your Hair & Leave It Overnight, Twice A Week

We hate to break it to you, but your mum (and every mother on the planet) was right when she asked you to oil your hair every now and then. Hair oil is actually a great source of essential minerals, vitamins and good fatty acids that boost the health of your hair. Oiling your hair and leaving it overnight twice a week can help accelerate hair growth, get rid of dandruff, and replenish your hair with nutrients.

2. Indulge In Periodic Hair Masks At Hair Spas At Home

Your hair definitely deserves some periodic TLC. Invest in quality hair products such as replenishing masks, and beneficial hair serums. Once a week, take out some much-needed time for pampering yourself and use the occasion to apply an enriching hair mask. If you don't have any masks, you can make one at home with readily available kitchen ingredients. Some health-restoring all-natural hair mask combos include avocados + olive oil, coconut oil + egg + honey and green tea + apple cider vinegar.
