As the air pollution takes a toll on your hair, here are some tips to protect them

Men and women are experiencing hair loss more frequently for a range of reasons, from dietary inadequacies to hereditary causes. Seeing several hair strands on a comb after every hair brush is upsetting. When it comes to hair fall, environmental factors also come into play because pollution can cause a variety of problems, such as dry hair, a flaky scalp, and weakening hair follicles.

Tips to keep your hair healthy

1. Put your hair up

It’s crucial to protect your hair, just as you would wear a mask to avoid breathing in harmful emissions when outdoors. Wear a scarf or hat to protect your hair from pollution when you’re outside in a polluted area.

2. Apply a shampoo without sulfates

Treat your hair with care and give it all the nourishment it needs. If you want to wash your hair without removing its natural oils, choose a sulfate-free shampoo.

3. Regular cleaning

It’s critical to maintain a clean, dirt-free scalp and hair. Frequent washing can help remove debris and toxins from your hair, but avoid overdoing it as this can cause dryness.

4. Oil and condition

Use a high-quality conditioner to keep your hair hydrated. Applying natural oils to your hair, such as coconut or argan oil, will also nourish it.

5. Do not use heat styling

The use of hot styling products, such as hair dryers and strengtheners, should be limited as they can exacerbate existing hair damage.

6. Maintain hydration

During this season of pollution, make sure to include a lot of hydrated drinks in your diet. To keep your hair and scalp nourished from the inside out, drink a lot of water.

8. Humidifiers

To lower indoor pollution levels and improve the health of your hair, think about installing air purifiers in your house.

If you adore your hair, you may use these strategies to keep it healthy and beautiful while shielding it from the damaging effects of air pollution.
