All you need to know about hair care during Ramadan
Ramadan hair care guide
Ramadan is finally here again with its spiritual reflection and devotion, it usually changes our daily routine including diet and hydration. Fasting during Ramadan has many health and spiritual benefits but also affects your hair
health. The good news is that you can keep your hair healthy and hydrated with the right care throughout the holy month. In this blog, we will understand how fasting might affect your hair, and what you can do to maintain healthy hair during Ramadan. We’ll give you some recommended treatments you can do at Roots to ensure your hair stays nourished and in its best condition.
How fasting can affect hair health
During fasting, water intake is minimal, and hydration level decreases in your body, affecting your skin and hair. Some common hair problems might arise during Ramadan: First is hair dehydration, which happens due to the small amount of water intake while fasting, making the hair dry and very frizzy. You can also have scalp issues during Ramadan, as dryness can cause scalp itching or dandruff. Nutritional changes and lack of essential vitamins and minerals sometimes weaken the hair follicles, leading to hair shredding and weakened hair structure. You can overcome these problems by dedicating time to your Ramadan hair care routine.
Tips to follow during Ramadan
1. Prioritize hydration
Since fasting during Ramadan limits water intake, it’s important to prioritize hydration from Iftar till Suhour. You should drink 8-9 glasses of water daily as water helps keep your hair moisturized and strong. Try to eat water-rich foods like watermelon and cucumbers, and avoid caffeinated drinks as they can dehydrate your body. You can drink herbal teas like chamomile and hibiscus to help in hydration and relaxation
2. Feed your hair with the right nutrients
A good diet will support your overall health and benefit your hair health. Try including protein-rich food to strengthen your hair. Food rich in vitamin C boosts collagen production for stronger, healthier hair. To prevent hair dryness, try adding healthy fats to your diet like nuts or avocados
3. Use hydrating hair products
As mentioned previously, limited water intake during Ramadan can cause hair dryness. Using the right products keeps your hair moisturized and healthy. It’s recommended to use sulfate-free shampoos to avoid scalp
dryness. Roots experts recommend using deep conditioners twice a week and leave-in conditioners after showering to help lock in moisture. You can use gentle heat protectants and hair serums with hyaluronic acid for
additional hydration.
4. Protect your scalp
A properly nourished scalp directly affects hair growth. Certain hair types can benefit from massaging the scalp with essential oils, which may help stimulate collagen production and support healthy hair growth. Also, avoid excessive hair washing, as it can strip the hair of its natural oils.
5. Reduce heat styling
Excessive heat styling like blow-drying or straightening harms your hair and makes it dry. Instead of styling your hair with heat, try protective styles like braids or buns to prevent breakage and maintain moisture.
