Hair Care Tips for Summer
    Hair Care Tips
  • The most effective remedy for health hair is eating healthy diet including green vegetables and fresh fruits. 
  • As hair is made of protein, your diet should include plenty of natural meat, fish, and dairy products.
  • Drink plenty of water (3-4 liters/ day) to keep your hair and skin hydrated.
  • When you go out in the sun, remember to wear a hat, cap or scarf, slightly loose enough to allow scalp circulation, to protect your hair against the damaging effects of the sun.
  • Avoid maximum ray damage by minimizing bare head exposure to the sun between 10 am - 3 pm, when the sun's rays are the strongest.
  • Avoid hot water hair wash, as the heat can damage your hair. Use cool water instead.
  • Avoid using blow-dryer or hot rollers, instead allow your hair to dry by itself. These artificial techniques make hair brittle and dry. If you have no time to let your hair air dry, then use blow-dryer sparingly and make sure you use a warm setting instead of a hot setting.
  • Try using mild and moisturizing shampoo during summer, rather than the normal shampoo that you use during other times, as former is much gentle on your hair.
