In summer, it becomes very difficult to keep your hair healthy and happy, thus some of us use natural or chemical-free methods.

Protect your hairs from the heat by covering it with scarf or hat whenever you go out. This will not only provide extra UV protection, but it also helps your scalp to retain moisture. Using a hat can reduce damage caused by wind, especially if your hairs are more prone to tangle, and protect color-treated hair.

You can make a messy braid for keeping your hairs under control and minimizing exposure to the sun. Tight hairstyles can cause damage because they often tend to pull and tear hair, especially if your hair gets dry from the summer heat.
03: Wash less frequently
Regular washing strips your scalp of its natural oils, which in turn rouse additional oil production and makes you feel the need to wash it very often. Try just simply rinsing in the shower after a day at the beach or pool and see if that gets rid of some excess oil. Use a homemade or natural dry shampoo in place of regular shampoo to get a bit longer without washing.
04: Diminish the heat
Try to avoid blow-dry or straighten your hair as little as possible. It is already exposed to a significant amount of heat on a daily basis in the summer season. Also, avoid flat-irons too as they will cause further damage to already dry hair.
05: Spray & Seal
Make a brew of water containing aloe vera juice and avocado oil. Keep it on hand to spray whenever a bit of moisture needed to be controlled. Another good option can be used is argan oil mixed with water.
06: Always condition your hairs
Rinse your hair with Apple Cider Vinegar diluted in water for a quick natural conditioner. You can also use some coconut oil or shea butter to smooth, de-frizz, and moisturize your hairs after washing. The oil will add some shine and, if you have wavy hair, create natural, air-dried curls.
07: No more blonde hairs –
Rinse out your wet hair with 1/4th cup of Apple cider vinegar and 2 cups of water to get rid of discoloration and dullness. It helps to get your hair wet before entering the water because then it won’t absorb as much chlorine present in the water.
08: Give UV protection to hairs –
There are some shampoos that contain UV protection, but most of those are chemical-laden, conventional shampoos that must be avoided. One of the quickest ways to add some protection is to run your hands lightly through your hair after applying sunscreen to your body.
09: Provide a hot oil rinse
Try some penetrating hair shaft like coconut, olive, and avocado oils. Shampoo hair as usual, then massages in oil from ends to roots. Rinse later and condition as usual. Your hair should feel protected moisturized afterward.
10: Use a wide-toothed comb
Avoid combing your hair when it’s wet since that’s when it’s most susceptible to breaking. Wide-tooth combs are most gentle for untangling hair as compared to brushes that can pull and tear when they snag strands.
