Have been thinking of reducing hair length as it’s nearing summer in my place and the temperature is rising. I generally choose a shorter(relatively) hairstyle during the summer and monsoon, because it feels cooler in the former and easier to dry in the second one.
Was thinking about it and remembered reading on how the hair on the head helps to reduce effects of UV rays. I don’t stay out in the sun too much, so likely not an issue for me.
Started thinking about what the range of best summer hairstyles would be for people of different hair type(straight, curly, wavy/inbetween both) etc. and asking about it here to see how/what other people on think about it.
My hair is thick and waist length. In the summer months I have to have it tied up somehow or I overheat, much to the annoyance of people in my life who like to see it down 😅
I’ve considered trying natural lightening techniques (some people say lemon juice, others in my family with similar hair say it works) to lighten it to reduce the heat. Maybe this year I’ll give it a go.
One other thing I’ll say is that if you’re already hot, adding volume makes it worse as it traps warm air
