Having a bad hair day? For God’s sake! Not today!? There they are, staring right back at you . . . your luscious locks look not-so-luscious, to say the least. You know you don’t have the time to go through the whole shampooing and blow-drying routine. Now you’re thinking this is going to be the worst day ever (pardon the exaggeration) and already have an excuse ready – my hair has a mind of its own!

Well, if you have experienced this, then high five girls! Welcome to the ‘We all have Bad Hair Days Club’.

How to manage a bad hair day?

Here are some tips that don’t involve hiding out from your colleague and friends. They are so awesome that they might change the whole melody to good hair days.

  1. Use dry shampoo

Well, if you don’t own this product, you should get it right away because it is a life-saver. It’s exactly what the name suggests – it’s essentially a shampoo, but one that you can dry-spray over your hair and you don’t need to rinse out. Spray lightly on the roots when lifting your hair and let sit a minute or two before brushing it out. It soaks up the excess oils from your scalp and also gives your hair an instant volume. Your hair will look fresh and you won’t have to think twice before running it over to tame flyways.

Consider getting a Pilgrim Sulfate Free Shampoo. This shampoo has three key ingredients – White Lotus, Argan Oil, and Camellia. With this, you will strengthen your hair, nourish the roots, and repair the damaged strands.

  1. Tie them in a ponytail 

Who doesn’t love ponytails? They look cute and take less than a few minutes. But, if you are thwarted with bumps, then apply heat or wet it out. You can also use the trick called double ponytail if you are running out of time. Gather the back section into a ponytail and secure with elastic, repeat the same with the front section. This trick will take away any unwanted attention from your bad hair.

  1. Braid them down

Accept it – they looked great on Katniss Everdeen and you know they look great on you. Braids actually look better in dirty hair and they infact hold better, you can play with so many different variations as well. Finish with a glossing spray encompassed with tight braids. Also, if you’re feeling a little trendy, go in for the side braid – it’s a red carpet look and it is super easy to do!

  1. Bun them up

Just that – bun it up! Buns always look better with greasy hair because there will be no fly-aways and works best when it is already a frizzy mess. In fact, the best part about buns is that the messier they are, the better they look. Hairagami is also a wonderful way to get a classy bun. Tease it out, swirl it around, and there you have!!

  1. Leave-in conditioner

Another great product is the leave-in conditioner. Hair that has not been washed for a day or two will only tend to get worse as the day progresses – oilier and frizzier. This problem is very common in the winter, you can use a leave-in conditioner to manage bad hair so that your hair stays soft and manageable throughout the day. The best bet to prevent frizz is to put the product in it before it dries.

  1. Accessorize

There are so many ways in which you can take the focus away from your hair! The best is to just hide it – wear a cap, hat, bandana, or scarf (if you can) to just not let the world know of your hair miseries. But if you can’t for some reason, embrace accessories such as fancy pins, clips, hairbands, or elastic bands. Use a couple of bobby pins, twist it in a cross design and hide it under your hair.

  1. Change your parting

If you don’t want to distress yourself with any of the above-mentioned exertions, then you can combat your bad hair day with this simple trick. You can simply change your parting if you usually part your hair on one side. The other side will have more volume or a better shape to strengthen your hair. You can also try the upside-down hair flip to give it a healthy look.

  1. Serum

Get yourself a good serum for unforeseen bad hair days. Dryness and frizz can easily be tamed with serum. The Pilgrim Argan Oil Hair serum is a quick fix for frizzy and dull hair. It will detangle your most difficult knots and give extra boost and conditioning to your hair.

The best way to avoid bad hair days is to know your hair type. If you have oily hair, you should use products accordingly and the same goes for dry hair. Hair loss, an itchy, and dry scalp deserve a doctor’s attention. Visit a trichologist to determine the cause. He will examine your hair and scalp to diagnose your disorder.

Hair Spa – Benefits & Everything You Need To Know

by Anurag Kedia
written by Anurag Kedia

Most people associate a body massage with relaxation but a hair spa can do wonders to relax you too! A hair spa, which includes massaging, cleansing, washing, and blow-drying of hair, is a great way to restore the health of your hair and relieve pressure off your scalp. Even though it is marketed as a luxury treatment, you can get hair spa products at reasonable rates. While it is really good for your hair’s strength and texture, a hair spa is also the best way to de-stress after a tough week at work. Unlike other procedures and hair care products, you don’t have to wait around for the benefits of a hair spa to kick in. You can experience your money’s worth after the very first hair spa. 

If you have never had a hair spa, let us walk you through one:

Step 1: Massaging the scalp

Start by applying a moisturizing spa mixture or cream to your hair and massaging it gently. Due to the deep circular motions, the massage increases the blood circulation of the scalp and provides it the conditioning it needs. If you do not have a spa cream, you can apply a good hair oil also. 

Step 2: Steam the hair

Once the cream has been deeply massaged into the scalp, you can proceed to steam the hair for over 20 minutes to lock the product in and hydrate the hair. 

Step 3: Rinse the hair

Wash the hair using a sulphate free shampoo with cold or lukewarm water and apply a hair mask to seal the moisture. 

Top Benefits Of A Hair Spa 

Now that you are familiar with the process and may be tempted to experience a hair spa, let us share the benefits of getting one:

  • It strengthens your follicles and hair roots

Your hair scalp is the foundation and perhaps the most important part of your look. It’s recommended you pay extra attention to it, at least once a month. A dull, squeaky, and under-nourished scalp can lead to hair fall, dandruff, and dry hair. Thanks to the deep massaging of your follicles and roots, your foundation can find a way to heal itself. 

  • It regulates the oil regeneration in your scalp

Your scalp has numerous nerves and glands that help regulate the production and the circulation of oils. One of those is the sebaceous gland which secretes excess oil that may clog the cells with dirt, dust, and dead skin. A head massage, followed by steam, stimulates the nerves and unclogs all the glands.  

  • It stimulates the circulation of scalp blood 

A hair spa stimulates your blood circulation, which is crucial to your scalp’s overall nutrition and plasma distribution. It even enables oxygen to move freely throughout your scalp—all of which improve your hair’s texture and adds to its growth.

  • It repairs dried hair and removes stored impurities 

By making hair spa a part of your grooming routine you can rehabilitate your hair’s lost moisture. When not massaged thoroughly, your scalp has the propensity to clog up contaminants, pollutants, and dirt from the constant exposure to the pollution. Through a hair spa, you can get rid of the built-up impurities in your scalp, giving regeneration a chance. 

  • It manages stress and relaxes the shoulder muscles

The massaging and the steaming can help you relax. Scheduling your hair spa on your off days can make you feel rejuvenated and refreshed for your workdays ahead. 

  • It keeps a check on the scalp’s dandruff

Through hair spas, you can keep the development of dandruff under control. It helps in strengthening the scalp and roots. 

  • It fights the dullness and damage caused to the hair 

You can say goodbye to your frizzy, dull, and damaged hair with your daily spa appointments. The process of hair spas includes deep massaging of your scalp, along with its steaming and subsequent serum conditioning. In short, it is a process to bring your hair and your scalp back to life. 

A hair spa recharges and boosts your hair with massaging, making room for a fresh replenishment. 

Happy to hear about all the benefits of a hair spa but can’t make it to the parlour? Well, with the right products, you can give yourself a spa session at home. 

How To Do A Hair Spa At Home?

Here’s a step-by-step hair spa guide.
Firstly, relax because a hair spa at home is a wonderful way to destress and take care of yourself. Start by applying hair oil or a nourishing hair mask and massaging it deeply into your scalp for over 20 minutes. If you are using a mask on your hair, start applying from the roots.
 

We recommend the Pilgrim Argan Oil Hair Mask that contains White Lotus and Camellia. The Argan oil provides the lifeless hair with a healthy bounce and shine. Together, all the ingredients strengthen and repair damaged strands.

You can soak a cotton towel in hot water, remove excess water, and wrap it around the head for about 10 minutes. 

Later, you can rinse the product with cold/lukewarm water and apply a nourishing hair serum to smoothen the hair and add shine. You can try Pilgrim Argan Oil Hair Serum as a quick fix for dull and frizzy hair. You can use it to detangle knots and provide extra gloss and conditioning to your hair. It can be used with wet or dry hair. The serum has a non-greasy formula that restores shine without being sticky or oily.

Flaunt your shiny crown of hair!
