Summer Hair Care Tips for a Healthy Shine

Jun 20, 2017

Summer has arrived! It’s time to get out to the pool and start enjoying the sunshine. We all know that too much of a good thing can damage skin, but your hair also needs some TLC when the heat is on. Here are some tips that can keep your summer hair looking great between salon visits:

Protection from damaging sunrays is a must, so keep your hair covered with a scarf or wide-brimmed hat when you’re out in the heat. In addition to keeping out damaging UV rays, wearing a hat also helps keep moisture in your hair and helps keep your color vibrant. Hair products with UV filters are also helpful.

With all the extra sweating and outdoor exposure, you may need to wash your hair more often. If you do, be sure to ask your stylist about the best products to use. Extra washes can strip away natural oils, so choose products wisely and avoid over-washing.

Keep your hair trimmed. Hair grows faster in the summer, and the frizz factor that comes from split ends will be more noticeable in the heat.

While you’re getting the trim, ask your stylist about a more relaxed style for summer. Avoiding the extra heat of hot styling tools is a good idea if it’s feasible for your individual style.

Before swimming, rinse your hair well and saturate it with conditioner or oils to resist the chemicals in pool water. After swimming, rinse well again with fresh, clean water.

To calm the frizz, ask your stylist about the best anti-frizz serum to treat your hair. Summer heat and humidity can contribute to added frizz.
