Pollutants affect our lungs, skin and now hair. Hair experts say that these pollutants can damage our hair and scalp. Keeping your hair safe is easy and smart. Just wear a wrap, scarf, or hat.
We usually worry about products hurting our hair, but we forget that dust, smoke, and bad stuff in the air can also harm it. Sometimes, wearing protective things messes up our hairstyle. Let’s learn some ways to protect our hair from these things:
- Wash your hair regularly
It’s okay to wash your hair every day. Doing this doesn’t make your hair worse. Dust and dirt can stay on your hair. They mostly remain in the outer layer. Washing your hair every day helps to clean them away. It also stops your scalp from feeling itchy or getting dandruff. Use a gentle shampoo and wash your hair regularly.
- Minimise the use of heat-styling tools
Bad stuff in the air can hurt your hair. Tools like straighteners, blow dryers, and curlers can worsen the hair. These habits make your hair more likely to get hurt, become weak, and split at the ends.
- Indulge in oiling and deep conditioning
Using oil and unique treatments are really important for keeping your hair healthy. Think of these treatments like a spa day for your hair. They fix the damage and add moisture to your hair. Oiling and deep conditioning can bring back the moisture your hair needs.
- Use hair serums
Hair serums are great for the outside layer of your hair, which gets hurt by pollution. For hair that’s not too short or too long, just use one or two tiny drops of serum on wet hair. If your hair gets oily easily, only put the serum on the tips of your hair, not on your scalp.
