Five self-help tips to protect your hair from pollution

Living in an urban environment can wreak damage on your crowning glory. Listed below are some of the self-help tips to keep your hair healthy and shiny despite the pollution.

1. Wash your hair frequently

You should wash your hair with shampoo daily in order to get rid of any dirt or pollutants that might have accumulated in your hair. You can use a gentle shampoo that is suitable for frequent use so that you don’t strip your hair strands of their natural protective oils as well. For better results, look out for anti-pollution shampoo formulas that you can use once or twice a week in order to deep-cleanse your hair.

2. Don’t forget your scalp

Healthy hair starts from the roots. Hence, remember not to neglect your scalp when you wash your hair. You can use your fingertips to gently massage your scalp while shampooing. This will stimulate blood circulation, unblock pores and remove filth and styling products that might cause dandruff and itching.

3. Avoid excessive chemical treatments

It is not recommended to recurrently undergo chemical treatments such as curls, dyes and bleaching, as this will weaken your hair and cause it to be even more vulnerable to damage from air pollution. Also, avoid using too many styling products such as hair oils, gels or sprays, as dust and other pollutants will stick to your hair even more easily.

4. Wear a hat

Hats are not just for fashion, they actually can serve a purpose as well. Covering your hair and scalp is definitely a good way to protect it from any airborne particles that could be toxic and damaging. It is also helpful in shading your eyes and face from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

5. Stay hydrated

Pollution and other environmental attackers dry out your strands. Whenever you are in doubt, hydrate – it is a good rule for your health and your hair.
