hair care
remedies come to your
rescue
this summer
If only summer hair were just as easy and fuss free as in those glossy ads. The real-
ity is, we all struggle with frizzy, greasy, brittle hair that is damaged - more so in
the sun. Sure, it has seen healthier days, but those niggling summer-related wor-
ries tend not to go away.
F
ortunately, there are easy and natural ways to tame
your tresses like a pro. Here are five hair problems
you‘re likely to encounter in the hot months and we
tell you exactly how you can fix them.
1. Deep conditioning with okra or ladyfingers to
get rid of dandruff:
Okra helps to get rid of dandruff; apart from that it also
enhances the overall condition of the scalp. Take 4-5 okra
pods and cut them into small pieces, put them in a bowl
and fill it with water and leave it overnight. The gooey liquid
when applied on the scalp can be used to prevent dandruff.
2. Use aloe vera to get smooth and soft hair:
Aloe vera gel (fresh or packaged) can be used as a hair
serum for dry and unruly hair.
3. Hot oil massage for textured hair:
Giving a hot oil massage to the scalp on a regular basis
is a great remedy to dump the dirt and give way to healthy
hair.
4. Regular hair washing to do away with dirt and
other pollutants:
Pollution and dust combined with sweat tend to accumu-
late on the scalp, which results in hair loss. Choose a sham-
poo that removes the right amount of oil from your scalp
and wash your hair frequently with a mild shampoo. Also,
don‘t forget to go in for a good conditioner after shampoo-
ing t o stop your hair from splitting and drying out.
fails to go with the shampoos, or if the scales of your scalp
are oilier or are stuck on, you could be suffering from an
underlying medical disease causing dandruff. Consult a
dermatologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis of the
condition. A doctor normally prescribes a medicated sham-
poo and a few treatments for effective hair loss problems.
Listed below are two such medical treatments that you
may want to choose for treating your hair-loss woes.
Laser hair therapy: Laser therapy treatment helps to
increase healthy hair by 73 per cent with no side-effects.
This therapy comprises of a hair mask, which is combined
with patented cold light sources and pure oxygen. This la-
ser light penetrates through your scalp and leaves you with
healthy, happy strands. The treatment is said to be extreme-
ly effective when it comes to treating hair loss.
PRP treatment (Platelet Rich Plasma Plus): PRP
contains special cells called platelets that can theoretically
cause growth of the hair follicles by stimulating the stem
cells and other cells in the microenvironment of the hair
follicle. The primary purpose of using PRP in hair restora-
tion is to stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair folli-
cles into an active growth phase. PRP plus is again a holistic
approach towards initial non-surgical hair restoration.
5. Proper diet to cure hair loss:
Your diet determines the growth of your hair. So, it is ad-
visable to consume healthy foods such as green leafy veg-
etables, salads and fresh fruits to improve the condition of
your hair in the summer season
