HAIR CARE
Never let your hair get wet in the rains. Pollution, suspended particles in the air which come down with the rain can settle on your scalp. Hence some feel itchy after getting wet in the rain. Always cover your hair with cheerful and colourful umbrellas or raincoats. Combined effect of sun heats and humidity can damage your hair.
TO KEEP YOUR HAIR DRY
Wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo and conditioner if it gets wet in any way. If you have a long hair make sure you dry it as soon as it gets wet or else it can rot the roots of the hair and can produce bad smell. If you have a long hair, tie it up into a topknot when going out. Keeping a Turkish towel and a travel hairdryer can make you always clean and dry.
