Spend most of the day in the office? Be it office or home, one cannot think of going for a moment without AC. But if we stay in AC air for a long time, it affects our skin. Skin moisture decreases and dryness increases. The skin becomes crusty. Just what skin? Our hair is the most damaged by air conditioner. The skin on the scalp becomes crusty.

The closed air of an air-conditioned room completely absorbs the moisture inside. If left in such an environment for long, the scalp begins to lose its natural oiliness. A kind of tension develops on the scalp, which is quite uncomfortable. Lack of moisture leaves hair lifeless, rough and frizzy.

When the hair dries out from the inside, its resistance also decreases. According to experts, when the water content is reduced, the hair becomes extremely brittle. Then simple combing, tying, or a little styling can cause clumps of hair to fall out. The problem of tip cracking also occurs. Continuous air conditioning in summer increases this hair loss several times.

How to solve this problem?

Hair needs extra nourishment to save it from these dry patches of AC. And this is where the age-old practice of oiling the hair works like magic. Regular application of hair oil creates a protective layer of moisture on the scalp. As a result, the dry air of the AC cannot easily take away the watery part of the hair. Oil massage increases blood circulation to the scalp, which strengthens the roots and keeps the hair soft and manageable.

Which oil to use?

Of all the oils, coconut oil is the most effective in protecting the scalp. The lauric acid in it penetrates deep into the hair and provides nourishment. Only coconut oil can prevent the loss of protein that occurs when hair is dry. It makes every hair fiber strong. It is possible to get rid of this problem by applying oil to the hair at least twice a week. The comfort of the AC will also be maintained, and the health of the hair will also be intact.
