Protecting Your Locks and the Planet: Sustainable Hair Care for Sunny Days

As the warmth of sunny days beckons, it’s essential to prioritize hair care that not only keeps our locks healthy but also minimizes our impact on the environment. Two experts in the beauty industry, Saumya Alagh and Vinod Kumar, share valuable insights on adopting sustainable hair care practices for the upcoming sunny season.

Saumya Alagh, a CEO and co-founder, Truth & Hair and Nynm Organics who understands the challenges of maintaining hair amidst a busy lifestyle, advocates for practical hair care solutions tailored to mothers. “Opt for easy hairstyles like loose buns or ponytails,” Alagh advises, emphasizing styles that fit seamlessly into daily routines. She recommends hair products enriched with nourishing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Aloe Vera, and natural oils to keep hair hydrated and healthy. Saumya suggests incorporating weekly deep conditioning treatments and switching to silk pillowcases and wooden combs to minimize breakage and knots. “Be gentle when styling,” shares Alagh, encouraging the use of heat protectant sprays to shield hair from heat damage.

Vinod Kumar, Ambassador and Head of Education, Label.m emphasizes the fusion of hair care and sustainability against the backdrop of sunny days. “Let’s shield our locks from harsh rays while keeping our planet in mind,” Kumar suggests. He highlights the evolving beauty industry, where eco-conscious hair care solutions are becoming increasingly accessible. From UV-protective sprays crafted with natural ingredients to biodegradable hair accessories, Kumar encourages consumers to make conscious choices that prioritize both hair health and environmental preservation.

Alagh underscores the importance of nutrition for hair health, recommending a balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E, biotin, and omega-3 fatty acids. Hydration, both internally and externally, plays a vital role in maintaining hair health.

As we prepare for sun-soaked days, Saumya and Vinod’s insights inspire us to embrace sustainable hair care practices. By choosing nourishing products, adopting gentle styling techniques, and making eco-conscious choices, we can protect our locks and contribute to the well-being of our planet. Let’s shine bright with healthy, sustainable hair care this sunny season.
