Summer hair care
Top 3 tips for keeping your hair cool in the summer.
1. Moisturize Moisturize Moisturize! Like a mantra repeat it until it sticks-OOOOHHMMMMoisturiiiiiizzze… Your hair needs a drink! Dry hair gets frizzy and brittle as it screams for moisture. The summer heat brings on a bit of sweat now and then which seems like good enough reason to shampoo more often but this is exactly the problem. Constant over stripping of the hairs naturally produced essential moisturizing oils is the leading cause of that dryness. So ease off on that militant shampooing and maybe just use conditioner next shower..or two.
2. Go hat shopping seriously, if you know you’re going to be in the sun a lot this weekend why not shop for an amazing hat. The idea is try to keep your hair out of extended exposure to sunlight. You can see it in a piece of paper left on a dashboard, a toy left in the yard or the face of women with tanorexia, how prolonged UV exposure will destroy the surface and beyond. So just be aware and, when you can, do your best to keep your hair out of the sun. Umbrellas, hats and patio coverings are great, let the light shine in just try to keep it from shining on your hair too much.
3.Do you have to go swimming? Really? I’m kidding …but I’m kinda not! If you plan on getting into a chlorinated pool you might as well take every precaution down to the tight swim cap. Pool water is wretched on the hair, especially if you have color work done. Saltwater isn’t as bad but excessively and with our bonuses in ocean water these days its best to take precaution. If your hair will be in the water first soak the hair with a deep conditioner. A hair strand filled cannot absorb the pool or salt water. If your in the water for a longer period of time reapply first wringing the hair out with a towel. …going into a pool with your hair you might as well throw on the swim cap and a shiny set of goggles, just to be safe.
