Unlocking Healthy Hair: Jawed Habib’s 4-Step Hack to Combat Hair Fall and Dandruff

Renowned hair expert Jawed Habib has unveiled a straightforward yet effective 4-step routine to tackle common hair concerns like hair fall and dandruff. In a recent podcast with The Ranjeet Talks, he emphasized the importance of maintaining a clean scalp and proper hair care practices.

 

The 4-Step Preconditioner Method

 

Habib’s method, termed the “preconditioner,” is designed to cleanse the scalp and strengthen hair roots. Here’s how to implement it:

1. Wet Your Hair: Begin by thoroughly wetting your hair. This step ensures that oil application is more effective and prevents excessive oil absorption.

2. Apply Mustard Oil: Gently apply a small amount of mustard oil to your scalp and hair. Avoid massaging; simply let the oil sit on your hair.

3. Wait for 5–10 Minutes: Allow the oil to remain on your hair for 5 to 10 minutes. This brief period helps in nourishing the scalp without causing buildup.

4. Wash Off: Rinse your hair using a mild shampoo, soap, or natural cleansers like reetha (soapberry). Repeat this process daily for optimal results.

 

Why Mustard Oil?

 

Mustard oil is a staple in many Indian households due to its numerous benefits for hair health:

• Nutrient-Rich: Contains proteins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and vitamins A, D, E, and K, which promote hair growth and strength.

• Antifungal and Antibacterial Properties: Helps combat dandruff and maintains a healthy scalp.

• Scalp Health: Keeps the scalp fresh and prevents dryness, reducing the risk of hair fall.

 

Additional Tips for Hair Care

• Daily Washing: Contrary to popular belief, washing hair daily can be beneficial. It helps in removing sweat and dandruff, which are detrimental to hair health.

• Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Tight braids or ponytails can lead to hair breakage. Opt for loose styles to minimize stress on hair strands.

• Gentle Combing: Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle hair, especially when wet, to prevent breakage.

• Proper Diet: Incorporate a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support hair health from within.
