Summer season is considered challenging for hair. Strong sunlight, growth of bacteria due to sweat, sticking of dust are the reasons why hair becomes dry, lifeless and starts appearing oily very quickly. In such a situation, if you make some changes in your hair care routine from now on, your hair will remain soft and shiny even in the summer season. In this article, you will learn about a simple summer hair care routine which will be helpful in keeping your hair healthy and protecting it from damage in the hot weather.
As the temperature increases, we change our eating habits along with the way we wear clothes and we often start using light weight creams instead of our heavy winter moisturizers, but we ignore our hair. The intense heat reduces the moisture from the hair, due to which the shine of your hair starts decreasing. Let us know how to keep your hair healthy in summer.
hydrate your hair
Due to strong sunlight in summer, there is more dryness on the ends of the hair and due to this the shine reduces. In such a situation, you should apply hydrating hair mask at least once a week on weekends. For this you do not need many things. Just curd, aloe vera and some hibiscus flowers (can be dry or fresh). Grind these three things together and make a paste and apply it from scalp to ends. Wash hair after 30 minutes.
protect hair from sun
Strong sunlight not only weakens your skin but also your hair. This causes the problem of hair breakage and split ends. In such a situation, it is important that you protect your hair from direct sunlight. For this, while going out, you can wear a scarf or scarf on your head or it is best to use an umbrella.

Avoid shampooing daily
Many people start washing their hair daily in summer due to sweating, but this removes the natural oil from your hair and makes the hair dry. In the summer season, instead of washing your hair daily, use a good serum. Due to this, the hair does not become frizzy and a safety layer is also formed on the hair, which prevents hair damage. If necessary, hair should be washed with mild shampoo.
light weight oil
Like winter, in summer too your hair needs oiling so that moisture remains, but it is important to keep two things in mind. First, use light oils, like jojoba oil, almond oil. Apart from this, it is better to do hair oiling only 1 hour before washing hair. Do not apply oil overnight.
‘Skinification’ is the new hair care trend
Now a new trend in hair care is ‘skinification’, when dust and sweat accumulate excessively on the scalp, toner should be used instead of heavy cream. Like boiling hibiscus and washing hair with its water after shampoo. Washing hair with rice water. This also provides nourishment to the hair and also helps in balancing the pH of the scalp. To condition hair naturally, apply aloe vera gel on wet hair after shampoo and wash hair with plain water after 5 minutes.
