Summer sun and humidity is the worst enemy of the hairs. In summer, hair care needs to be done in a specific way so as to avoid the hair problems that arise during this time. Dry hair, split ends, brittle and frizzy hairs are some of the numerous problems that crop up during summer season.

Hair care tips at home in summer:

Add moisture: In summer hair care basically means the ability to add moisture or to retain moisture of the hair so that the hair does not become dull and dry. Regular shampooing and conditioning of hair is necessary during summer to prevent the hair from dirt and sweat. Also short hairstyles prevent the hair from the bad effects of sun during the summer season.

Overexposure to sun: During summer, there is a tendency of skin and hair’s overexposure to sun. This should be prevented to reduce the loss of moisture from the hair. The head needs to be covered either by a hat or an umbrella to prevent overexposure of the hairs.

Dull and dry hair: If the hair is dull and dry, jajoba oil should be applied which is an effective remedy of dry and frizzy hair. This oil should be applied just before bedtime and the hair should be left with the oil at night. Shampoo the hair in the morning.

Blow dryers: One must not use blow dryers during summer as they make hairs dry. If at all it is necessary to use the same, one must condition the hair before using it.

Controlling frizzes: One must wear buns or plats or keep the hair knotted so as to avoid total exposure to sun, thereby controlling the frizzes.

Shampoo of hair: One must shampoo the hair with moisturizing shampoo rather than normal shampoo to add moisture to the hair. Daily shampoo of hair needs to be avoided to prevent the hair to be deprived of natural moisture. Instead of daily shampoo, baby powder can be sprinkled and combed. Deep conditioning of hair is needed after every shampoo.

Chlorine: Chlorine causes severe damage to the hair. So before going for swimming, it is better to dampen the hair with water so as to reduce chlorine absorption. Also after swimming, it is highly recommended to shampoo the hair so as to wash off the chlorine residues from the hair.
