Prep For The Summer Season With 3 Healthy Hair Habits: Treat, Wash & Nourish

Summers are always harsh on the hair. The sun damages and even fades it, all while also making it subject to pollution and dust that comes with the summer heat. Hence, treating your hair and correctly so becomes crucial. Treatment itself comes in the form of serums and oils—potent, ingredient rich products that focus on specific concerns like dullness, protection from heat, brittle hair and the likes. 

Summers are the time your hair is prone to chlorine, saltwater, and excess heat exposure, which can damage your hair's strength. Lucky for us, this anti-hair fall serum is a godsend that not just protects your tresses but also minimises your hair fall within six weeks of use. Made of caffeine, aminexil, and ginger root extract, it will quickly become your holy grail for healthy hair.

Washing one’s hair is the second and most important step when it comes to hair care. Summers bring with it not only dull hair that is affected by the heat, but also sweat and grime. Needless to say the best (arguably only way) to get rid of this is to wash your hair. What's also important to note that durning the summers the frequency of washing your hair also increases. Hence it is important to use products that support your hair as well as heal and nourish the hair.
