Does hair become sticky due to sweat in summer? The bad smell will go away with these 5 home remedies: – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: It is normal for the scalp to sweat in bright sunlight and humid weather, but when it mixes with oil, it causes stickiness in the hair. Due to this, bacteria start growing on the scalp, which causes bad odor. Here are some effective solutions that can eliminate your problem from its roots:

1. Wonders of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): Mix 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a mug of bath water. After shampooing, wash hair with this water. It balances the pH level of the scalp and keeps oil and odor away.

2. The Magic of Lemon Juice: Lemon has anti-bacterial properties. Squeeze the juice of one lemon in a cup of water and apply it on the scalp. Wash hair after 10-15 minutes. It not only removes odor but also provides relief from dandruff.

3. Spraying Rose Water: If you want instant freshness, fill a spray bottle with rose water and spray it on your scalp. It acts as a natural deodorant and keeps the scalp cool.

4. Aloe Vera Gel and Tea Tree Oil: Mix 2-3 drops of tea tree oil in fresh aloe vera gel and massage the scalp. Tea tree oil eliminates fungal infections and odor causing bacteria.

5. Use of baking soda: If hair has become too sticky, sprinkle some baking soda on the scalp and then brush. It works like dry shampoo and absorbs excess oil.

Special precautions for summer (Summer Do’s & Don’ts):

Do not leave hair open: Cover your hair with a scarf or hat when going out.

Avoid Hair Tools: Minimize use of blow dryers and straighteners in this season.

Light Conditioner: Apply conditioner only on the ends of the hair, not on the scalp.
