Hair care in summer at home need not be complicated, with a few summer hair care practices, it can be hassle-free and effective. With a little extra attention, you can prevent seasonal hair concerns like dullness, breakage, and scalp irritation.

You might feel your hair seems to have a mind of its own, acting up weirdly, but to move ahead with a solution, let's first understand what happens to it during the season and design a few DIY summer hair care routines.

What Happens to Your Hair in Summer?

Before diving into DIY remedies, it’s important to know how summer affects your hair:

• Increased oil production: Heat and humidity cause your scalp to produce more oil, making your hair greasy.
• Dry and brittle strands: The sun tends to take away your hair's natural moisture, leading to frizz and split ends.
• Sweat and buildup: With excess heat and humidity, your scalp doesn't just sweat out but stock it up, leading to a clogged scalp, causing irritation and dandruff.
• Weakened hair roots: The sun's UV rays weaken your hair shaft, increasing breakage and hair fall.

Now that you know what summer does to your hair, let’s talk about some easy tips for hair care in summer at home with these DIY remedies!
