The recent weather forecasts from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) suggest heatwaves to severe heat waves expected to persist in several northern Indian regions. A heatwave is commonly characterised as a spell of unusually high temperatures, beyond the average summertime temperatures, that transpires during the summer. The fear of heart-related ailments has increased along with the warmth. People of all ages are at a heightened risk of developing heat-related diseases and heat strokes. 

Excessive heatwaves can cause hair to get dry or brittle and lose their shine. They lack moisture and require extra care and nourishment. Here are some effective ways to protect your hair from excessive heat damage. 

Haircare Tips For Heatwave

Hair Wash

It's vital to regularly wash your hair to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants. Using harsh shampoos can strip your hair of all its nutrients, leaving it frizz-free and dry. As a result, exercise caution when selecting a shampoo for your hair.

Cover Your Hair 

Always remember to wear a cap or cover your hair when travelling through congested or polluted areas. By doing this, you can simply stop the toxins from building up on your hair and scalp.

Antioxidant-rich meals support the body's collagen and aid in the growth of hair. To support healthy hair growth, they also aid in shielding the scalp cells within the blood vessels.

Use Hair Masks

Once or twice a week hair mask applications can give your hair and scalp the much-needed protection, nourishment, and care they require. Hair masks protect the hair from damage, split ends, frizz, and external factors while nourishing the hair from the tips to the roots.

Apply Hair Serums

In addition to giving your hair more lustre and smoothness, serums hydrate the dry, cracked cuticles, nourish the scalp, and leave the hair strands healthier. By using serums, hair is shielded from damaging toxins and extreme heat by a protective layer.
