Summer is a great time to relax on the beach, swim in the sea and take long walks under the blazing sun. However, all of these joys can have a negative effect on our hair. Ultraviolet rays, salt water and sand can cause hair to fade, dry out and become damaged. Fortunately, proper summer hair care can help keep your hair beautiful and healthy. Here's a look at what hair care should be like and what you should look out for
What's so bad for my hair in summer?
Summer is a time when hair is subjected to a number of damaging influences that can cause damaged hair. The sun's rays contain ultraviolet components that dry out and weaken the hair and cause it to fade. Salt water can cause dehydration and damage to hair, and sand can stay in strands, causing friction and breakage.
Home care for summer hair: practical tips for healthy and beautiful curls
To ensure that the summer heat and the sun does not harm the strands, first of all it is necessary to care for the hair in the summer at home. And experienced hairdressers and beauticians recommend:
- Use headgear. Wear a hat or panama before going out in the sun to protect your hair from direct sunlight. This will reduce the impact of ultraviolet light, curls will not fade and dry out.
- Organize a nourishing hair care: In summer the hair needs extra moisturizing and nutrients. Use special hair masks and conditioners rich in moisturizing and nourishing ingredients to keep your hair healthy and hydrated.
- Rinse your hair in a timely manner. After swimming in the sea or pool, it is advisable to rinse your strands thoroughly with clean, fresh water to remove salt water or chlorine.
- Take care and cleanse oily hair. If you have oily hair, it's important to remove excess sebum, which can build up when exposed to heat and humidity, in a timely manner. Taking care of oily hair in the summer requires regular washing with a mild shampoo and not applying conditioner to the very roots.
- Keep dry hair moisturized at all times. If your hair is prone to dryness, extra moisture will be especially important in the summer. Care for dry hair in the summer should include the use of conditioners and masks that are intensely moisturizing, as well as limiting the use of thermal tools such as blow dryers or irons.
- Protect your hair from heat and styling: In the summertime, it is recommended to limit the use of hot styling tools to avoid additional damage. If you do plan on using a hair dryer or iron, treat your strands to a heat protectant right away.
All information on how to properly care for your hair in the summer can be clarified by your hairdresser. A qualified specialist will give detailed instructions and make adjustments to the above rules, taking into account the individual characteristics of your strands.
Beauty salon summer hair treatments
In summer, given the high temperatures and the anticipated bathing in the sea or pool, you should be especially careful when choosing procedures in the beauty salon. Some of them may require special care and restrictions for a certain period of time after execution. Here are a few recommendations on what can be a professional hair care in the summer period:
- Keratin Straightening. This procedure helps to make hair smooth and resilient, as well as reduces the time for styling. Experienced hairdressers recommend keratin straightening before or after the summer season to preventively protect or restore strands.
- Botox for hair. This procedure helps to restore and strengthen damaged hair, giving it shine and elasticity. It does not require any special restrictions after performance and can be performed at any time of the year, including the summer period. However, you must remember to avoid exposure to salt water and chlorinated water for several days after Botox for the best results.
- Nanoplasty and Bixiplasty. These are innovative procedures that help straighten hair and make it smoother and firmer. They are usually based on the use of products that create a protective film on the hair and deeply nourish it from within. They can be done at any time, but for maximum protection of the strands it is better to do them before the summer season to avoid the negative effects of ultraviolet, salt and chlorinated water.
