Summers, loosely translated, means higher temperature, humidity, more sweat, dehydration, etc. All of these conditions lead to dull, frizzy hair. So, it’s no wonder your hair requires more care than usual.

Do you know a dip in the pool that you desperately love might just be the last thing your hair needs during the season? But, don’t fret, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy an occasional swim. You just need the right hair care routine that will allow you and your hair to have a wonderful time during the summers.

So, in this article, we’ve put together a Do’s and Don’ts guide to maintain a healthy scalp this summer.

Don'ts that prevent hair loss in summers:

• Heat Styling: With the amount of heat your hair is being subjected to because of the climate, more hot tools is the last thing your hair needs. Refrain from using any excess heat on your hair, be it from a blow dryer, a straightening iron or tongs. You can easily avoid these by washing your hair at night and relying on heatless hairstyles for styling.
• Shampoo and Conditioner every day: Washing your hair every single day because of the excess sweat and dirt will just strip your hair of natural oils and moisture. This will lead to dry, flaky scalp. Extend your hair’s freshness by using dry shampoo on your second-day hair.
• Hair color: High temperature during the summers will just fade away your hair color a lot faster than usual. Avoid changing color of your hair drastically as it will just damage your hair and the results won’t even last.

Do’s to promote a healthy scalp:

• Cover up: One of the best things you can do for your hair is covering them up with a stole or scarf. This will prevent your hair from being in contact with direct sunlight keeping them healthy.
• Heat protectant: Just like you absolutely need sunscreen for your skin, your hair also requires such a barrier. Use a heat protectant thoroughly before stepping out of the house even if you’re not heat styling your hair.
• Get a trim: Dehydrated hair and dry scalp lead to split ends which eventually hinders healthy hair growth. So, the only way you can get rid of them is by getting a trim. You don’t need to cut off a major length, just an inch or two at the ends will do the trick.
• Masking: To control the damage, the sun does to your hair and restoring the natural moisture, it’s important that you treat your hair with a hydrating mask.
