How to protect your scalp from heat, sweat & irritation this summer as a hijabi

Your scalp is an extension of your facial skin. And just like your face, it reacts to heat, humidity, and buildup. During summer, it’s easy for your scalp to become overheated, especially under non-breathable fabrics. Sweat can accumulate more quickly than you realize, leading to itchiness, irritation, and that tight, uncomfortable feeling that makes you want to remove your hijab before the day is done.

Choosing the right fabric is key. Breathable materials like bamboo allow air to circulate, keeping your scalp dry and cool even on hot, humid days. It also helps to switch up your scarf style regularly to avoid constant pressure on the same areas, and to keep your scalp clean and hydrated with gentle care. Think lightweight oils, minimal product buildup, and consistent washing routines.

Bamboo is one of the most skin-friendly fabrics you can wear, especially in warm weather. Naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating, it helps your scalp stay cool and fresh. Even better? Bamboo is hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it ideal for sensitive skin or anyone dealing with irritation or scalp inflammation.
