Sharing is caring!

Follow these summer hair care tips and alter your routine to keep your hair healthy this season!

With summer approaching us, we need to take extra good care of your hair. As these harsh UV rays not only damage our hair but also weaken our hair follicles & roots from within. Plus, the hot temperature makes our scalp secrete more sebum and leave our hair greasy and full of frizz.

But washing too frequently or improper scalp care can lead to hair damage or increase hair fall. So, today I am going to share some of my favorite summer hair care tips and home remedies to help you take care of your hair this summer!

How To Take Care Of Your Hair In Summer?

It’s absolutely normal that your scalp gets oily in summer. It is also very normal that you lose your hair as the season changes. Nothing to be alarmed about. Just make sure you are taking a bit extra care of your hair in this harsh weather and follow this routine to prevent them from sun damage.

Oil Your Hair With Lightweight Hair Oils

Your scalp and hair might already feel oily and greasy in summer and adding more hot oil would seem like a nightmare but Indian hair oiling routine with the light weight hair oils accompanied by some hair steaming treatment is an excellent way to strengthen your hair this season!

Instead of using the regular oils or the oils that have thicker density opt for oils that are lightweight. This way your hair gets nourishment and your scalp won’t feel extremely oily.

Switch To SLS-Free Hydrating Shampoo

Since you mentioned shampoo might be making your hair weak, try switching to an SLS free shampoo. SLS in your shampoo works as detergent. You might feel that your scalp and hair gets cleaned effectively but the truth is it wipes off the natural oils from your scalp which is actually necessary to protect your hair and scalp.

Plus a hydrating shampoo helps your hair stay nourished preventing split ends and frizz.

Befriend Dry Shampoo

If your scalp gets oily every other day, then instead of regular shampoo you can opt for dry shampoos to maintain a clean scalp.

Don’t Skip Your Conditioner

Conditioner & Leave-in conditioners are a must for summer! 

The harsh UV rays make your hair dry, dull and damaged and applying a good silicone-free conditioner goes a long way. And using a leave-in conditioner helps sealing the moisture in your hair shafts thus making your hair more silkier and smoother.

Take ACV rinse

ACV rinse helps in balancing the pH level of your scalp. You should absolutely never skip your a good hair rinse afterward. 

Deep Condition Twice A Month

Deep conditioning not only helps your hair get smoother but also helps in repairing the damage. My personal favorite is this banana and honey hair mask and coconut milk and rose petals hair mask but you can also use ready-made deep conditioning hair mask that are already available on the market too.

Rosehip Oil Is Your Hair’s Bff

Rosehip oil is very well known for protecting your hair from sun damage. So follow this summer hair care tip and switch your regular serum to rosehip oil instead.

Detangle With Wooden Comb

Hair gets tangled easily and more often in summer. And using a wooden comb instead of the regular brush helps prevent hair breakage and hair loss.

Wooden combs are big blessings especially those that are made of neem. The comb help to distribute excessive oil from your scalp to your entire hair length that it will help prevent your scalp and hair from getting greasy in a day.

Cover Your Hair Before Stepping Out

This is quite an obvious summer hair care tip and I am sure you must be following it already.

Make sure you avoid stepping in sun without covering your hair with a scarf or a hat. Though it does not protect your hair completely from sun damage it does prevent damage to a certain extent. Also, spray sunscreen or hair products with SPF on your hair. This will help your hair to be protected from sun damage.

Limit Heat Styling

Your hair is already going through a lot of heat because of the hot and humid weather, make sure you minimize using your heat while you style your hair. Every once in a while give your hair a break from flat irons or curlers or blow dryers. And IF you must then do not skip a heat protectant.

Avoid Harsh Chemical Treatments In Summer

The chemical treatment like hair smoothening, keratin, rebonding, hair botox, magic sleek, highlighting, coloring or others.  Also make sure to avoid products containing SLS, paraben, silicones and mineral oils and opt for more natural products.

Avoid Tight Hairstyles

Tight hairstyles weaken your hair follicles and result in severe hair fall. It also makes your scalp greasy. Make sure to go for some hairstyles like lose ponytails or braids rather than hairstyles like swoop ponytails. 

Protect Your Hair While Swimming

Swimming might damage your hair because of the chlorine present in the pool waters. Make sure to cover your hair well before you step into the pool.

Stay Hydrated And Follow A Balanced Diet

Staying hydrated is a very big step for your hair’s overall health. Summer dehydrates your body and affects your hair and skin. Make sure your body is hydrated enough. Drink at least 10-12 glasses of water daily.

Eat foods that contain natural biotin which would help you control hair fall and make your hair healthy from within.
