We live in a tropical country where exposure to sun is unavoidable, no matter what. Our hair is usually the first thing that would be affected. We end up having a damaged hair due to the heat of the sun. But there’s a way to minimize the damage.
We can take measures to protect our hair from the damaging heat of the sun or from any harmful habits. Here are ways I could come up with.
1. When going out, cover your hair with scarf. (I plead guilty because I don’t do this)
2. Just run a hair brush/comb once when the hair is wet. And comb/brush again when the hair is dry. You will notice the difference here. Not only it protects your hair from falling off prematurely, it makes the hair shiny and smooth as well.
3. when drying your hair with towel, use one direction only. this will prevent split ends.
4. if you can avoid it, don’t use hair dryer. I purposely gave my hair dryer away so I won’t get tempted to use it often. The only glitch is that I have to wash my hair way before we go out… so I have time to dry my hair, the natural way. hair dryers can actually make your hair dry. so try to use it less.
Hair is women’s crowning glory (of course nothing beats a good attitude). So we better take care of it as much as we can.
