Instead of junk food like burgers and pizzas, make a habit to include walnut, spinach, sweet potatoes, bananas, yogurt, almonds and blueberries in your daily diet. Meet your requirement for protein, zinc, vitamin and minerals in your body.

Use a scarf to protect your hair from harsh sun rays, it doubles as a style statement too. Also, you can use leave-in conditioners that gives protection from sun. Steaming your hair weekly with a hot towel after hair wash opens up pores and hence increases blood circulation.
