In today’s post Rohit is my guest again. This time his sharing tips for hair care while traveling. He has previously written me other travel related articles about must sees in Turkey, relaxing on a business trip, packing the right way and must see hiking trails.

 

Spending a weekend at a beach may rejuvenate you after a long week’s work. However, you may not be aware of how spending a day at the shore can damage your hair. Salt water may detox your skin but it leaches out moisture from your hair resulting in parched and brittle hair strands. Further, the damp breeze is known to be a style wrecker, often making your locks puffy. If you have died your hair, salt water can harden your locks.

 

It’s not just about a beach day or traveling in tropical climate. Extreme cold or snow can also have severe repercussion. If you are on a sabbatical traveling the world, you would be exposed to frequently changing climates. Thankfully, here is a list of 6 handy hair care tips to help you battle harsh climate and stay wow.
