Studies show that up to 95% of people have dry, dehydrated hair in the summertime. Hair can become brittle and break from lack of hydration. The best way to keep your locks healthy and strong is by avoiding heat-styling tools as much as possible. Keep your hair moisturized with a leave-in conditioner or by using a deep conditioning mask once per week for 10 minutes.
This blog post will offer a few ways that you can use to maintain the moisture in your locks. In addition, it will also give tips on how to prevent damage from styling tools and environmental elements such as chlorine or UV rays. Read on for more information!
The summer months can be tough on your hair. Between the heat and humidity, it’s easy for strands to dry out and become brittle. To keep your locks hydrated this season, try these tips:
- Don’t overdo it with heat styling tools like blow-drying or flat ironing; let your hair air dry as often as possible
- Avoid putting a product containing alcohol near your roots (alcohol dries out the skin too)
- Apply products that are designed to protect against UV rays before you head outside. Look for those labeled “UV protection” or “high sun protection.”
- Another idea is adding an argan oil treatment every week or two; just put a few drops in your shampoo bottle before washing and then massage into scalp and roots after rinsing.
Hydrate Hair In Summer Heat
Hair can be a difficult thing to care for in the summer heat. The sun, chlorine, and saltwater all contribute to dry hair which leads to breakage and frizziness. If you want your locks healthy come fall time then start caring for them now with these tips!
- Stay out of the pool if you’re prone to swimmer’s hair or use a good clarifying shampoo before getting into any body of water
- Keep your mane protected from UV rays by using sunscreen when outside
- Wear hats on sunny days
- Consider putting oil on your strands at night (or anytime!)
- Use gentle shampoo and conditioner that are specifically formulated for damaged hair
- Wash less often
Summer is a time for fun in the sun and enjoying the outdoors. But it can also be tough on your hair, which can dry out from exposure to UV rays or too much chlorine. With the heat and sun drying out your scalp, you’ll need a product that keeps moisture in without weighing down your locks.
