HEATPROOF YOUR HAIR

With temperatures rising, it’s time to shield your hair from summer’s harsh effects.

PROTECT YOUR HAIR FROM SUMMER DAMAGE

As the mercury rises, your hair is exposed to more heat, perspiration, and humidity, resulting in dryness, frizz, and breakage. Changing your routine with proper care may maintain your locks healthy, bright, and strong all season.

And the best part? You don’t need expensive treatments—just a few simple steps.

ESSENTIAL SUMMER HAIR CARE ROUTINE

1. Gentle Cleansing — Frequent washing is crucial in summer, but avoid harsh shampoos that strip natural oils. Opt for a mild, everyday shampoo to keep your scalp fresh and healthy.

2. Pre-Wash Oiling — Hydration starts before washing. Apply a light oil, such as coconut or almond oil, to your hair before shampooing to lock in moisture and prevent dryness.

3. Protective Serum — If your hair is coloured or chemically treated, use a leave-in serum after washing. This reduces breakage, eases detangling, and protects from sun exposure.

4. Cooling Yoghurt Treatment — Apply fresh yoghurt to your scalp and hair once a week, leaving it on for 20 minutes before rinsing. This soothes irritation, hydrates, and promotes faster growth.

5. Apple Cider Rinse — Combat dandruff and scalp build-up by mixing equal parts apple cider vinegar and shampoo. This keeps your scalp balanced and your hair refreshed.

6. Aloe Vera Scalp Scrub — Sweat and heat can lead to scalp congestion. Mix granulated sugar with fresh aloe vera gel and gently massage once a week before shampooing to remove build-up and improve circulation.

7. Ice Water Rinse — Finish your wash with an ice-cold rinse once a week to tame frizz and enhance shine.

8. Henna Conditioning — If your hair is natural and uncoloured, apply organic henna for five minutes once a month for deep conditioning and improved texture.

9. Regular Trims — Hot weather can increase split ends and dryness. Keep your hair in top condition by trimming the ends regularly.

FINAL TIP

Ignoring your hair during summer might result in dull, brittle strands. With these simple at-home treatments, you can maintain your hair nourished, preserved, and glossy even during the hottest months.
