We are all looking forward to the summer, to soak up the sun in plenty, swim and just have a good time. At this time of the year I want to become even more beautiful and be sure to tan. The sun, of course, is good, but his hair doesn’t like him very much. Excessive sun exposure, as well as swimming in the sea, blowing with hot gusts of wind, dust and city heat - all this does not affect their condition in the best way. It turns out that winter weather is harmful to them, and summer? Unfortunately, but it is. True, do not be upset, if you follow proper hair care in the summer, then the painful and negative consequences can be easily avoided.
It is not necessary to say unequivocally that both the sun and sea salt are harmful to the hair. As they say, everything should be in moderation. For example, short sun baths enrich hair with vitamin D, give it shine and silkiness. To shine the hair, it is also effective to wet the hair in sea water, which is rich in salts. But this should be done infrequently, otherwise you can only worsen the condition.
Hair care in the summer consists of the following:
- As little time as possible in the open sun without a hat. The latter, by the way, should be worn not only to protect yourself from sunstroke, but also to save your hair from burnout and brittleness.
- When swimming in the sea, you should wear a swimming cap or lubricate your hair with protective cosmetics with UF filters.
- In choosing shampoos, give preference to those that are specifically designed for washing hair in the summer. Usually on their packaging the symbol "SUN" is lit.
- If possible, in the summer you should abandon perm and hair dye. Weather conditions, and so on, do not work in the best way, and if we also add the effect of chemicals, their condition can be seriously damaged.
- In the summer, it is worth restricting the use of a hairdryer. It should be used only as a last resort, for example, before a responsible event. If life without a hair dryer is not possible, then hair is best best dried at low speed.
- Summer hair styling is also highly undesirable. But if nowhere without them, then you should choose a good tool for fixing hair. Many companies produce foams and hair sprays specifically for use in the summer. For example, syoss hairspray not only puts hair in, but also gently cares for it.
- Hair should be cut in time, paying particular attention to the removal of cut ends. Short haircuts for the summer are the most suitable option. It is easier to care for short hair, while they are more resistant to weather conditions.
- Mandatory hair care in the summer should consist of applying nourishing masks, as well as the use of conditioners. You can buy them at any cosmetic store, but it’s better to cook them yourself from those products that will be in the kitchen.
Here are some options for nourishing hair masks:
The mask is healing
This mask nourishes and restores the structure of overdried hair. It is necessary to mix 5 drops of vegetable oil with 2 egg yolks and half a lemon juice. Apply the mask to the hair for about 30 minutes, then rinse well with running water.
Emergency mask
Hair care in the summer is not limited to one day, but if you urgently need to put your hair in order, you can use this mask.
Pour 100 g of finely chopped burdock roots with 1 cup of vegetable oil, insist for 10 hours, then simmer for about 15 minutes. Cool the broth, strain. Rub into hair, hold for 2 hours and rinse with water. It can also be used as a rinse after each shampoo.
