Hair Care in Summer

Skin is not only the things that is affected by the harsh heat of the sun during Summer. Hair Care becomes a worrisome factor for both men and women as the heat of summer increases. The major causes are the unremovable dust, growing dandruff, drying scalp and the heat all over your head. There is no wonder that you may even consider shaving your hair. Conversely, try some of these beauty tips and keep your head and hair cool during summer.

• Comb your hair whenever possible to remove the dust in your hair as well as to keep it neat.
• The reduction of dust will automatically reduce the dandruff in your hair. However you can apply some herbal oils in your hair and wash it away with some natural shampoos.
• You can rub lemon on your scalp. This will wonderfully reduce the dandruff and automatically cool your head.
• The application of hair oils mixed with amla will naturally reduce the dandruff as well as cool the head.
• The drying scalp will get a rejuvenating experience if you can massage your head with some herbal oils. You have to this head massage only once in a week.
• Avoid using shampoos with high chemical quantity, as they will dry your scalps.

• You can apply henna mixed with lemon juice and egg once in week. Let this cooling effect stay on your head for one hour and wash it away with cold water.
• Never use warm water to wash your head. At the same time avoid taking head bath in extremely cold water.
• Oiling hair regularly will prevent various hair problems.
• Trim the split-ends of the hair regularly.
• Do not over brush your hair.
• Brush your hair regularly with a good quality hairbrush/comb. Use a broad toothed comb brush on wet hair. Wash your brush or comb regularly with soap or shampoo.
• Avoid the use of other’s comb. Always clean your comb.
• Do not use very hot air for drying wet hair. Avoid over-exposure to the sun.
• If you color your hair, try to organic dyes such as henna(mehndi)or coffee and avoid non-organic dyes like peroxides.
• Prevent static electricity when you shampoo by applying a rinse out hair conditioner that instantly adds moisture and shine. If your hair is fine or thin, you may wish to skip the rinse out conditioning step and apply a "leave-in" conditioner instead.
• If you normally use hot hair tools (blow dryers, hot irons, electric curlers) every day, try and give your hair a break during the summer months. Consider letting your air dry. Take a break from hot curling.
• Jojoba oil applied to the ends of your strands will help soften them. Jojoba oil also works wonders on frizzy hair. Jojoba oil can also be utilized as a pre-shampoo treatment or applied to dry strands for protection during the day.
• For extra conditioning treatment apply a deep conditioner to damp or dry tresses, wrap in plastic wrap or a shower cap just before bedtime. Allow the deep conditioner to soak into damaged hair sections overnight for extra repair and re-moisturizing benefits.
• When you find yourself out in the sun, at the beach or at the pool without pre-planning, reach for a hat to cover delicate strands. If a hat won't do, great the next best thing which is the sunscreen.
  
  Slather a regular SPF product on your tresses making sure to concentrate the product onto your scalp as well as your tresses. Although not a perfect solution, it will help save your tresses from major sun damage.
• If you are wedded to your blow dryer, use a leave- in conditioner designed to protect your hair when blow drying.
• When the summer heat is hottest contain potential frizzies by wearing your hair up in a knot, bun or braids.
• Be careful using shine products to control frizzies. They often contain silicone and can coat your hair after just a few times. This will only make the problems worse in the long run.
• Wash your hair less often during summer months to allow your tresses to absorb maximum moisture. When possible, finish with a cool to cold rinse to seal the hair cuticle and impart natural shimmer and shine.

Proper hair care can give you fabulous, shining, thick, beautiful, gorgeous, and dandruff free hair.

Stay Beautiful ;)
