'Ice Water Spray'

After you come home from the heat, your scalp is hot and hair roots are weak. Just fill a spray bottle with ice-cold water and spritz it lightly on your roots. This instantly cools your scalp, tightens the roots, and stops hair fall right away!

'Watermelon Toner'

Don't throw away the white part of the watermelon! Blend it to get its juice and apply it to your scalp. Let it sit for 10 minutes before washing. The Citrulline in it boosts blood flow to the roots and fights off summer dryness.

Does hair need sunscreen too?

We use sunscreen on our face, but what about our hair? Before stepping out, mix two drops of pure coconut oil with some aloe vera gel. Rub it on your palms and apply it lightly over your hair. This creates a natural shield that gives 100% protection from the sun's harsh UV rays.

Wearing a helmet? Stop!

Wearing a helmet in summer can trap sweat, causing fungus and hair fall. Simple fix: before putting on your helmet, tie a thin cotton handkerchief on your head. The cotton absorbs all the sweat, preventing scalp itchiness and hair loss.

Do this before you go to sleep at night!

Brew some green or mint tea, let it cool down completely, and pop it in the fridge. Before sleeping, just massage this cold tea into your scalp and leave it overnight (you can wash it in the morning). The mint's coolness and the tea's antioxidants will finally end your summer hair fall woes.
