Protect Your Hair This Summer

I love summer. Time for enjoying the sun. It's about swimming in the pool, lying out in the sun and hanging out with family and squads. Isn't it fun? Remember that aside from our skin, we should also protect our hair. Salt water, chlorine, humidity and baking in the sun can leave hair dry, frizzy and brittle. It's not a good look! 

Here are some tips on how to protect our hair during summer.

Trim Your Split Ends 

When you see split ends and dry tips, Trim it off.

Protect Your Hair Color

Before swimming, coat strands with hair products infused with complete color and UV protection to help combat the damaging effects of the sun, pool and ocean.

Always Use Conditioners

Always use conditioners to strengthen and moisturize your hair, helping repair split ends and keeping your hair frizz-free all summer long. 

Wet Your Hair Beforehand

Before swimming in chlorinated or salt water, saturate your hair with clean, non-chlorinated water first. Your follicles will soak up this water rather than the damaging chlorine or salt-filled water. 

Cover It Up

Tie your hair up in a scarf. It’s a chic way to protect your hair from overexposure from the sun’s harsh rays and to prevent frying your scalp. Plus, it’s perfect for minimizing tangles and knots on super windy days. Hats are another fashionable option.

Keep Products Ready and Handy in Your Beach Bag

Spritz on a moisturizing leave-in sun spray before you head out in the sun and throughout the day. They’re water-resistant and help protect against UVA and UVB rays. They’re also a great way to condition your hair while at the beach. 

Drink Water!

While you may be doing all of the above to protect your hair from the sun, if you’re not drinking enough water, you’re not going to achieve anything. Your hair, and your skin, will benefit immensely from the amount of water and extra fluids that you have, so go for cooling liquids that will help keep your hair healthy and let you feel cooler. Include as many fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet as you can. This is most needed for hair care for summer. 

Beat the heat with nourished hair!
