In all honesty, summer is a bit of a nightmare for our hair It’s not surprising that our hair starts to feel like straw when the sun is so hot, we sweat all the time, and dust seems to get on our heads as soon as we go outside. If you’ve seen more hair than normal in your drain lately, you’re not alone summer hair fall is a real problem that can be very annoying.
Best oils for summer hair growth
We usually use our grandmother’s favorite remedy, a champi, when we are sick in India. But let’s be honest: the idea of thick, sticky oil when it’s 40°C outside sounds tiring. The secret is not to skip the oil, but to choose the right one.
These five oils are light enough for the heat but strong enough to make your hair grow.

Coconut oil
We have to begin here. There’s a reason why Indian homes love coconut oil so much. Some oils just sit on top of your hair and make it look greasy, but coconut oil actually sinks into the hair shaft. It protects the proteins in your hair, so it doesn’t break off when you tie it up in a ponytail.
Tip for the summer: Don’t soak your hair overnight; it’s too hot for that. A quick 30-minute massage before your shower is all you need to calm an itchy, sweaty scalp.
Oil from almonds
Almond oil is the best oil for you if you don’t like the way heavy oil feels. It has a lot of Vitamin E and magnesium, which are great for your hair follicles. It’s a lot lighter than coconut oil, so it’s great for fine hair that gets weighed down easily. It also helps with frizz.
To keep things smooth, just rub two drops on your ends after you wash your hair.
Castor oil
People swear by this one for filling in thinning edges or making hair look thicker It has ricinoleic acid in it, which helps get blood flowing in the scalp.
The Summer Hack: Pure castor oil is very thick, like syrup That will make your pores clogged in the summer. Always mix it with a lighter base, like almond or coconut oil, so it spreads better and, more importantly, washes out easier.
Oil from amla
Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is full of vitamin C. Amla oil has this amazing natural cooling effect that can help if your scalp feels “on fire” from the sun. It makes the roots stronger and is famous for stopping hair from turning gray too soon. If you’re losing a lot of hair, this is the one to use.
Bhringraj oil
Ayurveda says that Bhringraj is the best thing for hair health. It works wonders for circulation and is often suggested for people who are losing hair because of stress (and let’s face it, heat is a form of stress). It also helps keep dandruff away, which can happen when you sweat a lot.
A check on how hair grows in real life
We’ve all seen ads that say you can get Rapunzel hair in a week. It doesn’t work that way. Hair oils won’t change your life in a day. They make your scalp a healthy “environment” so that your hair has the best chance to grow strong and stay attached to your head.
The key is to be consistent. Once or twice a week, a quick 20-minute oil session is much better than a huge oil soak once a month. Stay hydrated keep it simple, and have faith in the process. Your hair will eventually catch up!
