How to make hair fall down?

My hair is naturally very thick and poofy, and I always struggle to get it to lie flat and sleek. Are there any tricks or products I can use to make my hair fall down smoothly without looking oily?

If you mean styling frizzy hair to lay down flat, my mother always advises applying a little warm coconut oil before washing. However, if you are experiencing actual hair fall or thinning, please consult a dermatologist to find the root cause.

I was looking up hair styling tips because my hair stands up weirdly after drying. It seems using a wooden wide-tooth comb and applying a tiny bit of aloe vera gel helps it settle down naturally without looking greasy.

To improve hair texture and make it soft and manageable, you must nourish it from within. Include almonds, walnuts, and curry leaves in your daily vegetarian diet to get essential fatty acids and iron.

If your hair is too dry and won't stay down, try using a good leave-in conditioner or a tiny drop of argan oil on damp hair. Avoid using hot hair dryers too close to the scalp as it strips away natural moisture.

My dermatologist explained that hair texture depends heavily on cuticle health. He advised me to always wash my hair with lukewarm or cool water instead of hot water, as hot water opens the cuticles and makes hair frizzy and unruly.

For healthy, smooth hair that flows down naturally, try practicing Balayam (nail rubbing) and headstands to improve blood circulation. Relaxing your mind through pranayama also prevents hair damage caused by stress.

Use a microfiber towel to pat your hair dry instead of rubbing it aggressively with a regular towel. Apply a lightweight hair serum while it is still damp, and it will settle down perfectly without any frizz.
