Rising heat takes a toll on hair health.
As temperatures soar across India, many face increased hair fall, dryness, and lack of shine. Expert Dr. Mukesh Batra shares expert advice on keeping locks healthy in summer months.
Dr. Batra of Dr. Batra’s Group of Companies notes how daily hair fall naturally increases during summer. According to a Wimpole Clinic study, women may experience up to 6% higher hair shedding in hot weather.
Beyond commercial products, wholesome homeopathic remedies deeply nourish hair to promote growth, says Dr. Batra. A balanced routine and lifestyle provide long-lasting hair wellness.
Proper nutrition is vital – foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals feed hair from within. Dr. Batra recommends an iron-rich diet incorporating leafy greens, beans, tofu, nuts, and eggs to aid growth and strength.
Certain “superfoods” greatly benefit hair health, he says. Eggs, rich in protein and biotin, make for robust locks. Salmon, with omega-3s, guards against dryness, while avocado, spinach, and sweet potato supply antioxidants.
Dr. Batra notes that staying hydrated also keeps the scalp and strands moisturized to prevent breakage and brittleness during summer. Gentle, chemical-free products maintain hair’s natural properties.
Homeopathy uniquely addresses underlying loss causes for customized therapy, strengthening immunity to aid regrowth in balding areas. Dr. Batra stresses an integrated approach to hair wellness through seasonal changes.
Simple lifestyle tweaks, good nutrition, and medical guidance can help troubled hair withstand rising heat stress. He concludes that taking care amid climate challenges preserves healthy hair.
