At the beginning of the summer we are so concerned with packing the correct SPF for our holidays, but sometimes we completely forget to protect our hair, but the hair, as well as the skin is susceptible to sun damage. To keep your hair shining and healthy just follow some simple rules.
The sun UV rays and the beach winds can cause split ends to travel up the hair shaft, causing a fracture in the hair.
Don’t dye your hair before your summer vacation because the chlorine and the sea salt may change your color. Hair dying can make your hair vulnerable to the sun. But if you really have to dye it - do it at least ten days before your summer vacation.
We recommend you to take supplements such as vitamin D 12, vitamin A and brewer’s yeast to improve the condition of your hair. Try to eat protein-rich food such as chicken and nuts to feed your hair’s natural proteins.
The sun not only dries out your hair and fades the color but it can also damage your scalp too.
Replace your usual hair products with products containing UV filters. Even spraying some body sunscreen onto your hair will work well and protect your hair from the UV rays. The shampoo must cleanse your hair from the oils and the impurities, and at the same time it must be appropriate for a daily use.
You can slick your hair back into a bun or ponytail, slather on some deep conditioner and enjoy a short spurt of sun time.
As we all know the summer months are the worst time of the year to add chemically drying color to hair that is already parched so try not to color your hair during that period. Always use a hair protector with SPF. There are many hair products that help your hair looks amazing and healthy again.
Minimize your hair’s exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the rays are the most potent. If you must be out during those times wear a cover-up to shield your strands from sun exposure.
Start the summer season with a salon trip to eliminate split ends and handle hair repairs. If your hair normally dries out during summer months, consider having a preventive professional deep conditioning treatment to ward off potential frizzes.
- head damaged hair needs moisture so it’s essential to use a good conditioner; it will coat the hair shaft with a thin film that smooths down the roughened cells and fills in the uneven surface
- before swimming, rinse your hair in salt and chlorine-free water
- use hair products with SPF protection
- wash your hair less often during the summer months
- wash the hair using a mild shampoo
- cover the hair in order to keep your highlighted or colored hair looking its best; use hair sunscreens, hats or head scarves
- if you don’t have a sun-protecting hair product you can apply a skin sunscreen
- minimize the exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the rays are the most potent
- redheads need extra protection as the color pigments are unstable and can fade to orange or yellow
- don’t use too much products – it will leave hair heavy, making it lose body and shape
- when you are on the beach protect your hair the way you would for your skin
