You can also follow these tips to make hair soft, smooth, and silky -

• Maintain a balanced diet - Make sure that you are giving the right nutrition to your hair. So that your hair remains very healthy. Hair needs to be taken care of from the outside as well as from the inside. Be sure to provide healthy fats, proteins, and other nutrients daily. Also, try to keep yourself hydrated daily.
• Choose the right products - If you are using a natural or herbal shampoo for hair that does not contain any harsh chemicals, then your hair will always be healthy. The sulfate present in the shampoo strips away the natural oils from the hair, leaving your hair feeling lifeless. Along with this, do not use chemical conditioners. If your shampoo contains silicones then it is perfect for your hair. With this, your hair always remains silky.
• Oil massage - Give your hair a nice and relaxing massage once a week. Massage with oil not only relieves your stress but also increases blood circulation. Massaging the scalp with oil before shampooing helps in making your hair soft and silky.
• Use a wide comb and bristle brush - A wide comb prevents breakage. This is a very good comb that helps in detangling your hair. Once your hair is detangled, use a boar bristle brush, this helps to spread the oil from the roots to the hair. It is better if you do not comb your wet hair. At this time the hair is very weak and can break easily.
• Never skip hair conditioning - Conditioning is very important to keep hair healthy. Do not forget to conditioner the hair after shampooing. Conditioning your hair with a homemade hair mask once a week is very important. If you have extremely dry hair, keep the conditioner on your hair. This will keep your hair silky and soft.
• Always wash hair with cold water - Cold water closes your hair follicles, leaving your hair soft and silky. This also helps in retaining the moisture in your hair.
• Get your hair cut - Make sure to get your hair cut between six to eight weeks. This will prevent your hair from split ends and will also avoid breakage.
• Never use hot tools - Using hot tools daily damages your hair. If you are used to straighteners, then it is better that you do not choose such styles, in which the hair gets hot.
• Never wash hair too often - Washing hair more than thrice a week can make hair lifeless and dry. Try washing your hair only two to three times a week.
• Let hair dry naturally - Try letting your hair dry on its own instead of using a blow dryer. Don't dry your hair by rubbing it more than a towel. Simply press down on wet hair with a towel. This will not break the hair and will not make it dry.
