Hair could be a problem in living in a desert climate. The dry climate, strong sun and dust may drain away moisture and leave your hair frizzy, dull and likely to break. In order to maintain your hair healthy and in control, you ought to emphasize on keeping it hydrated, protected, and taking care of it tenderly.
1. Focus on deep hydration
Begin using a hydrating, sulfate free shampoo and conditioner which provide support to the scalp and hair strands. The natural moisturizers to seek are argan oil, shea butter or aloe vera. Wear a deep-conditioning mask one or two times per week to replenish softness and wetness. One can use a light oil such as coconut or jojoba oil to apply on wet hair to keep the moisture locked in throughout the day.
2. Protect from sun and dust
Hair, like the skin, should be protected against the UV rays. To avoid drying up and loss of color, use leave-in conditioner or serum that contains UV filters. Use a scarf, hat or light wrap in long outdoor time to help avoid sun and dust damage.
3. Wash smartly and gently
Wash you hair lightly because once it has been washed constantly a lot of natural oils are washed away that make it hydrated. Bathe twice to thrice a week, use lukewarm water rather than hot water, which only dries out the hair. Rub your head so as to increase the natural production of oil and improve the general scalp condition.
4. Hydrate from within
Without internal hydration, there is no use of external care. Consume lots of water in a day and eat foods containing omega-3 fatty acids such as walnuts, flaxseeds, or salmon. Healthy eating will help to make hair strong and give it a natural shine.
Final thoughts
The advice on hair care in the desert climate is all about moderation: maintaining moisture levels, treating against the ravages and taking care of the hair inside and outside. Your hair would always remain soft, shiny and strong even in extreme weather with steady hydration and protection.
