Protect those tresses while swimming

There is no better feeling than taking a dip into cool water during the scorching summer heat.

It's not only about what you put on your hair that matters, but also what you put inside your body.

Maintain a diet that is rich in Vitamins, Iron and Zinc that help in preventing your hair from becoming dull, thin and dry.

Indulge in different kinds of berries and fruits like kiwis, oranges and papaya, while also gorging on all things green. Spinach and other leafy vegetables are really high in Iron content and can do wonders for your hair.

Don't forget to include a wide variety of nuts in your diet as they act as superfoods for your hair. They are rich in Vitamin E which boosts blood circulation to the scalp and keeps the hair follicles healthy.
