Sun headaches

Limit exposure: Wear a hat or carry an umbrella. Our dark hair has a higher propensity to absorb and trap heat, and cause headaches.

Lather up: Switch to a milder shampoo and wash your hair more often to keep the sebaceous glands healthy.

Drink up: Dehydration brings on headaches faster, so carry a bottle of water if you step out. Drink at least 10 glasses of water daily.

Pack it in: A weekly henna hair pack will keep the scalp cool.

Take a deep breath: Often, headaches are just a response to lack of oxygenation. Practice pranayama daily to balance the air flow in the body and to increase oxygen intake.

Cool down: After coming in from the heat, place a wet band on your head and eyes.
