Wearing
Hijab is such a beautiful expression of commitment and religious
tradition. In a country with weather like ours, ladies who are wearing
Hijab might be facing some problems. While overcoming the high
temperature with light layers and AC, Hijab ladies hair might be still
suffering. Now that we know that hair is every lady’s crown, here are
tips for Hijab ladies to a healthy hair.
Split ends can be fought
easily. Always leave your hair in a loose bun under your veil. The loose
bun will ensure your hair is not frizzing under your veil. The best
fabric to choose for your veil to prevent split ends is silk. The micro
fibers in silk will keep the friction between your hair and the fabric
to the minimal and that will prevent breakage to your hair while
touching the veil.
Always after washing and conditioning your
hair, seal the ends of your hair with natural oil to prevent splitting.
Olive oil or coconut oil are the best choices to seal your condition in
and to protect it from heat.
Dandruff is not a losing battle. Wash
your hair regularly and make sure you’re using a shampoo and
conditioner that are made for your hair type and that are have few
chemicals as well. A smart trick to fight dandruff is to crush a couple
of aspirins in your shampoo and massage your scalp while focusing on the
irritated areas.
You might not even have real dandruff and it
could be just a product built up, in that case you need to minimize your
hair chemical intake and go organic. If you are facing a real problem
with fungus, consulting a dermatologist is the best option.
Great
thing that you’re not under the pressure to use hair straighteners on
your hair. Your hair needs to breath more and straightening it with
extremely hot irons doesn’t help. While you’re at home, keep your hair
loose and don’t cover it, that way it will fuel up on air and not
suffocate.
Make sure to deep condition your hair at least once
every two weeks. Natural homemade masks will feed your hair and make it a
heat resistance machine. The most important tip is to keep treating
your hair well and never say nobody will ever see it so why should I
care.
