Many women notice their hair reacts to fasting in unexpected ways - but don’t worry! Here are some tips and tricks for keeping your scalp happy and your strands strong throughout the next number of weeks.
HOW FASTING IMPACTS HAIR
During Ramadan, the sudden shift in eating and drinking patterns can cause temporary changes to our locks. Some women notice their hair feeling drier because of reduced water intake, while others experience increased oil production as the scalp adjusts. The key to keeping your hair in balance is understanding what it needs and making small, nourishing adjustments.
SCALP DETOX: RAMADAN EDITION
Just as fasting helps your body eliminate toxins, this is the perfect time to give your scalp a detox, too. A healthy scalp is the foundation for strong, shiny hair, so why not embrace the opportunity for a little reset?
Oil treatments
A warm oil massage with coconut, argan or black seed oil before suhoor can nourish the scalp and stimulate circulation, encouraging lots of lovely, healthy hair growth.
Scalp scrubs
A gentle exfoliating scrub once a week removes buildup from styling products and excess oil, keeping your scalp fresh and balanced. You might like to DIY one with sugar and olive oil for a natural, effective cleanse.
Hydration boost
A lightweight, leave-in scalp serum will help combat dryness, especially if you’re prone to an itchy or flaky scalp. Look for ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to lock in that moisture!
INSIDE OUT
Your pre-dawn and iftar meals play a huge role in keeping your hair strong and resilient. Since fasting limits the window for nutrient intake, try to pack your meals with hair-loving vitamins and minerals.
