Hair Care Tips for Summer
All types of hair need extra care during summer. As the climate becomes extremely hot and dry, the hair loses it moisture and becomes dry, dull and brittle. Sometimes hair also loses its colour and lustrous appearance due to exposure to harsh sunlight.
Due to roughness and dryness, hair gets unmanageable and frizzy, loses its natural texture, and gets a lifeless unpleasant appearance. People with dry hair need to take even more care during summers to prevent excessive hairfall and brittleness.
Use deep conditioning and moisturizing treatments more during summer. After hair wash apply a hair moisturizing lotion or deep conditioner so that the hair’s moisture content is retained or fortified. You can also use a hair mask that contains natural ingredients like olive oil, egg yolk, hibiscus, almond oil and henna for conditioning.
Avoid using hot water for bath. Hot water drains away the moisture content from hair. Using normal tap water/cold water or lukewarm water will be suitable as it locks the conditioner applied and helps in retaining moisture. Avoid applying lemon drops or juice directly on hair as it has the tendency to make hair dry.
Just as you use UV protection lotion or cream for face care to prevent the ill effects of exposure to harsh sunrays, use sunscreen products for hair too. This will prevent the damage done to hair. Or else use a cap, scar for umbrella to avoid direct contact.
Do not use shampoos and hair products that are not meant for your hair type. Know your hair quality and be more cautious if you have dry hair. You may apply hair oil containing natural coconut oil or gooseberry based hair oil atleast one hour prior to hair bath. The hair roots will get strengthened and hairfall will be prevented.
Drink plenty of water as it is a natural moisturizer. Eat foods containing vitamin A and E and proteins, like milk, yogurt, soybeans, carrots, lentils, spinach, green leafy vegetables, eggs, tomatoes etc.
