Taking care of your hair in the summer

2 min reading time

In the summer, hair is often more exposed to harmful environmental influences – the sun, sea salt, chlorine from the pool, heat and more frequent washing can cause dryness, breakage and loss of shine. Here is a quick summary of how summer affects hair and what you can do to protect it.

 

☀️ How does summer affect hair?

• UV rays break down keratin, which weakens hair.

• Sun and heat dry out the scalp and hair.

• Sea salt makes hair hard, rough and brittle.

• Chlorine from the pool can discolor hair and dry it out.

• Washing more often removes natural oils from the scalp.

 

What to do for beautiful and healthy hair in the summer?

1. Use hair protection

• UV protective sprays or leave-in conditioners are like “sunscreen” for hair.

• Oils (coconut, argan) create a protective layer.

2. Avoid heat

• Do not use irons, curling irons and blow dryers unless necessary.

• Air dry your hair.

3. Deep condition your hair

• Use a moisturizing hair mask once a week.

• Conditioner should be a must after every wash.

4. Loose hairstyle

• Tie your hair up (plait, ponytail) protects it from knotting and friction.

• Not too tight, so as not to damage the roots.

5. Regularly trim the ends

• Helps prevent split ends due to dryness.
