Blow-drying your hair after a shower makes sense, and while it’s tempting to do so on second-day hair, the heat may damaging for your hair. As your hair is already dry, putting on extra heat will weaken your hair follicles and may lead to hair loss.

2. Apply Hair Serums and Oils – Argan or Aloe Vera Oils
