Shampoo them right :

The key to nourished, healthy and beautiful hair lies in the kind of shampoo you use to wash them. While the market is flooded with options, picking up a shampoo that gently cleans your hair while maintaining their natural sheen and health is where the difference lies. Especially during monsoon, when your scalp is at its vulnerable best, experimenting with shampoo can lead to you suffering from a bad hair day. To avoid dandruff and prevent putting your hair through the trials of chemical laden hair shampoos, opt for a natural or a mild product like Dabur Almond Shampoo .
