Summer is fully upon us. I know in the summer I spend a lot of time outside, and a lot of time swimming. Summer weather can wreak havoc on our hair. The sun can be very damaging to your hair, as well as chlorinated pools and salt water. Here are a few tips to keep your hair from getting damaged.
* You can wear a hat or a scarf to protect your hair from the sun. If you don't like wearing hats and you know you will be outside, you can use a leave in conditioner before you go out. Try to use one with sunscreen in it.
* Try not to use, or at least limit the use of blow dryers and curling iron.
* Before you swim in the ocean or a pool, it's always a good idea to wet your hair first. Going in with dry hair will make your hair absorb the chlorine/salt in the water. If your hair is wet, this will decrease that.
* Of course, it's very important to drinks lots of water, not just for your hair, but for your health as well.
* Wash your hair with cool/warm water instead of hot water. And always use a clarifying shampoo after swimming to wash out any chlorine/salt that was absorbed.
* If you wash your hair everyday, than also use a conditioner daily. If possible, try not to wash your hair everyday as this can lead to loss of moisture in your hair.
* Try to use natural products on your hair. Products that contain alcohol or formaldehyde can dry out your hair.
* It's important to get your hair trimmed regularly. 6 to 8 weeks in a good time frame.
These are just a few tips to beautiful summer hair. Now go outside and have some fun!
