Summer often brings common hair problems, especially hair fall, due to increased sweat and dust accumulation on the scalp. Many struggle with this issue and resort to expensive hair products, home remedies, or multiple treatments. However, most people prefer to maintain strong and healthy hair naturally.

During the hot months, following a proper hair care routine and keeping a few important points in mind can significantly reduce hair fall and strengthen your hair. Here are some easy tips to help you keep your hair healthy this summer.

Why Does Hair Fall Increase in Summer?

Strong sun rays cause excessive sweating, which can lead to bacterial and fungal infections on the scalp—major contributors to hair fall. Chemicals found in some hair products can also damage your hair. Moreover, an unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet can cause nutritional deficiencies, worsening hair problems.

Summer Hair Care Tips

• Protect your scalp from direct sunlight by using an umbrella or wearing a hat when outdoors.

• Wash your hair 2-3 times a week with a mild shampoo, as the scalp tends to get dirty faster in summer.

• Apply coconut oil (or your preferred oil) before washing your hair to nourish roots and reduce hair fall.

• Use a hair mask once a week—either store-bought or homemade—to provide extra care.

Natural Remedies to Reduce Hair Fall

Home and kitchen ingredients can be very effective in controlling hair fall. Choose what suits your hair type best:

• Fenugreek seed hair mask

• Aloe vera gel mask

• Onion juice, which strengthens hair roots

• Amla and reetha, known for their hair benefits

Lifestyle and Nutrition

• Include protein-rich foods and those high in omega fatty acids, iron, and vitamins A, C, D, E, and B12 in your diet.

• Stay well-hydrated by drinking enough water daily.

• Get 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep every night.

• Manage stress through relaxation techniques or hobbies.
