2. The hair should be tied loosely.

3. Colouring or chemical straightening in summer can increase brittleness and cause dry hair, too. So, beware and avoid experimenting with the hair.

4. It is not a good idea to rub wet hair vigorously. It is necessary to pat dry in a gentle way in order to prevent hair from breakage and frizz.

5. Excessive oiling can attract dust and sweat, making hair look greasy and raising the chances of issues like dandruff. So, oil just before an hour and then wash the hair properly.
