Hair Care for Summers


Hair CareWhile you are busy taking care of your skin during summers, don’t forget your hair. Summer sun and humidity can damage your hair’s cuticle and result in dry, brittle and frizzy hair.

  • Stylish accessories are attracting but do not pick each and every accessory you find attractive. Pick those accessories that would not damage or tear your hair leading to split ends. Use ponytail holders without metal closures, barrettes with smooth edges, etc.

  • Baking soda is a wonderful inexpensive home remedy. Add 1/4 cup baking soda to your shampoo. You can also mix baking soda with your conditioner. It will give your hair more volume, body and health.
