  • Hair fall

Caring for your hair becomes especially important. To prevent the damage, it is recommended to start looking after your hair on a regular basis.

Oiling is a great way to cure most of your hair problems. Whatever the hair problem is, oiling is a great way to abate the condition.

Apply coconut, almond or olive oil on your hair overnight and wash it the next morning. If possible, avoid shampoo and let it stay for a day.

2. Keep your Hair Clean:

The sun, sweat and dirt work against your hair during the summers.

Make sure you shampoo your hair about twice a week to remove all the greasiness. Avoid too much shampoo as it can dry your hair out. Use a conditioner whenever you can avoid shampoo.

3. Homemade Hair Packs

Just like your skin, your hair also needs some extra care to combat the ill effects of the weather.

Go in for a hair pack to give your hair some much needed pampering and care. Use a homemade pack to add that extra shine and bounce to your hair. Alternatively, you can use an herbal pack or one that is made of natural ingredients. Egg, honey, mayonnaise and yogurt are especially good for the hair.

4. Nutritious and Healthy Eating

Our eating habits make a big impact on the condition of our hair.

A balanced diet of fruits and vegetables is very important for the nutrition it provides your hair. Include almonds, soyabean, flax seeds, milk and milk products, chickpeas and tomatoes in your diet. If you eat meat or eggs, make it a part of your regular diet. You will no doubt gain the summer bouncy hair!

5. Drink Water

Your body needs at least eight glasses of water a day.

The summer months need you to drink as much water as you can. Keeping your body well hydrated is the best way to make sure your hair stays in shape.

6. Avoid Heat Tools

Limp hair tempts you to style more.

Blow drying and styling saves the day when you have limp hair. It also causes damage. The heat sucks out moisture from your hair as such. Styling tools will only make it even worse.

Tips to Add Shine and Bounce Instantly:

Note: Use non-alcoholic beer. Alcoholic beer, if used too much, can dry out your hair and scalp.

  • Give your hair a final rinse with beer. The properties in beer will add an instant shine to your otherwise dull and limp hair
  • Apply some fresh aloe vera pulp to your scalp and hair. Wash this off after 20 minutes. Aloe naturally conditions the hair and improves its quality.
  • Apply less shampoo on the tips of your hair. The shampoo suds will automatically come down from the top of the head till the tips. Using shampoo on the tips will further make them dry and lead to split ends
  • Go for regular hair trims to avoid split ends and keep your hair looking healthy
  • Use a sun protective hair serum for your hair
  • Using baby talc on the scalp and rubbing it with light fingers will instantly remove the greasiness from your hair
  • For hair that is looking exceptionally dull, wear Velcro curlers overnight and get bouncy and wavy hair in the morning, without using any heat tools

Regular exposure to the harsh sunrays leaves your hair dull, dry, brittle, and damaged. Practicing a few simple hair tips can transform dull and damaged tresses into silky and bouncy hair in the summer, when the UV rays can be very harsh and damaging. Following a hair care regimen with simple steps like oiling and washing your hair regularly, applying homemade hair packs, eating healthy, and drinking water can transform your tresses. You can also follow these care tips to increase the shine of your hair and keep your tresses protected.
