Have you kept your hair healthy this summer? Too much fun in the sun can do a number on your hair. It’s time to protect your silky locks this summer with these five tips for summer hair care.
Are you a victim of summer frizz and breakage? There are natural reasons why this happens. Hair no longer gets nourishment once it grows beyond the follicle, which provides the strands with renewing liquid. When that supply is cut off, each strand is limited in how it can protect and heal itself, making it fragile. This lack of moisture makes hair vulnerable to summer activities that dry it out and cause damage.
Our hair needs our help! It’s time to replenish the moisture needed to repair damage caused by heat and sun. Most likely, summer weather won’t lead directly to hair loss, but damage to follicles and weakened hair strands certainly don’t help! Summer conditions make the hair more likely to break, making styling difficult and affecting the overall health of your hair. The following 5 tips can protect your hair and help bring back the luster.
Take control of dry summer hair. Here are 5 tips for keeping your hair healthy this summer.
You might enjoy the short-term results of using hot flat irons, hot rollers, and hair lightening products. In the long run, though, your hair will be thankful if you take it easy with these items. Putting direct heat and artificial chemicals directly on your hair breaks down the protein keratin, which protects our hair and keeps it strong. Using alternative styling methods will help keep your hair shiny this summer.
Do hydrating serums with coconut oil, argon oil, and other natural oils work? Yes, high-quality hydrating serums and healthy oils can do wonders for dry or damaged hair. You can use products with these oils to help prevent summer damage or provide the moisture your hair needs to recover. You can use these serums any time, at the start of the day or after you rinse off at the end of the day. The Medi Tresse Hydrating Serum enriched with Argon is a great option that is safe for colored, straightened, and chemically treated hair.
Salt water and chlorine can wreak havoc on hair. Salt water from the ocean removes the hair’s natural moisture. Chlorine from pools strip hair of its natural oils. Overnight treatments with deep conditioners help repair hair by replacing the moisture lost by swimming. The Medi Tresse Keratin Deep Conditioner is great for all hair types and safe for colored, straightened, and chemically treated hair.
UV light damages the hair shaft’s cells and follicles, drying out the hair’s natural moisturizers. It also breaks down melanin, which gives our hair its color and provides UV protection. As we get older, we lose melanin, causing fragile gray hair that is often difficult to style. Similarly, sun-lightened hair is caused by damaged melanin. Protect yourself by wearing a big hat that shades your hair and the skin on your neck and face. Look for hats that use UVP (ultraviolet Protection Factor) fabric for even greater protection.
Hair masks are all over the internet—and some are very expensive. The ingredients in a hair mask can help soothe your scalp, strengthen your hair, and help repair them from damage caused by sun, swimming and other summer activities. You can get the same benefits with a hair mask you make yourself from common household ingredients.
