During Ramadan, our dietary habits change, water intake decreases during fasting hours, and sleep patterns shift—all of which directly impact your hair. You might notice your strands becoming drier, brittle, dull, and harder to style. Between work, worship, and preparing Iftar, finding time for hair care can feel like a challenge.

However, you can restore your hair's softness and shine with very simple steps using ingredients already in your kitchen. The secret lies in consistency and smart choices rather than expensive treatments.
Why Does Hair Dryness Increase in Ramadan?
Dehydration due to long fasting hours.
Nutrient deficiencies if the diet is unbalanced.
Excessive use of heat styling tools for social gatherings.
Washing hair with very hot water.
Step 1: Internal Hydration (The Foundation)
Hair care starts from within:
Drink at least 8 cups of water between Iftar and Suhoor.
Eat foods rich in healthy fats (nuts, olive oil, avocado).
Prioritize protein (eggs, yogurt, legumes) as it is the building block of hair.
Step 2: Weekly Deep Oil Treatment
Natural oils are among the most powerful solutions for dryness.
Best Oils: Olive, Coconut, or Sweet Almond oil.
How to use: Massage 2 tablespoons into the scalp and ends, leave for an hour (or overnight), then wash with a sulfate-free shampoo.
Step 3: Honey & Yogurt Mask for Instant Moisture
Honey acts as a natural humectant, and yogurt is rich in protein.
Recipe: Mix 1 tbsp of honey with 3 tbsp of yogurt.
Method: Apply for 30 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water to eliminate roughness.
Step 4: Aloe Vera for Split Ends
Aloe vera gel helps soothe the scalp and reduce frizz. Use a small amount on the ends daily as a natural leave-in conditioner.
Step 5: Minimize Heat Damage
Give your hair a "vacation" from blow-dryers and flat irons. Let your hair air-dry whenever possible and avoid scalding hot water.
Step 6: Trim Damaged Ends
A minor trim every 6–8 weeks is essential to remove split ends and restore vitality.
