Being a hijabi in a tropical country like Malaysia that's constantly hot and humid can impact the health of our hair under our hijab. Factors like the heat, the amount of time your hair is tied under the hijab, and the accumulation of oil abscess can cause hair damage.
If this is your first time wearing the hijab, or you just need a reminder, here are some tips to keep your hair healthy:
- Wash your hair as often as needed. Different hair types have different requirements, so it's best to explore and know what your hair and scalp needs. Usually, two to three washes per week is sufficient to keep away excess oil and dirt in your hair.
- Make sure to air dry your hair instead of using a hairdryer. Applying intense, prolonged heat on your hair can cause it to be frizzy and have split ends. However, if you still prefer to use a hairdryer, make sure to use a heat protectant to prevent hair damage.
- The way you tie your hair can have a huge impact on your hair. Thus, it's best to tie your hair looser and in a sideway style according to your natural hair part.
- Massage your hair with a hair serum once in a while to encourage hair growth and release scalp stress.
- Maintain good hijab hygiene. Unwashed hijabs can cause germs, dirt, and oil to pile up. Depending on the frequency of your favourite hijabs, it's best to wash it every two to three wears.
