Summertime is all about spending time at the beach and outdoors in hot weather. While we protect our skin, we tend to forget that with humidity and heat comes an insane amount of damage to our hair. Exposed to pool chemicals and sea salt, we are left with brittle, dull and rough hair by the end of summer.
Fortunately, we are here to save the day by sharing 7 easy ways to guarantee a carefree summer with beautiful, healthy-looking hair!
1. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen!
Like your skin, hair also absorbs UV rays from the sun that cause long term damage. Applying sunscreen infused products on your hair protects before heading to the beach allows the hair stand to protect itself and gives you healthier and thicker hair on the long run. There is a wide variety of products, such as oils and hair masks that have sunscreen in their formula that can protect your hair. Here some of our favorite ones:
2.Wash less often
With the days getting hotter and sweatier, naturally, you feel the need to wash your hair every day. However, by doing so, you are stripping away all the natural oils your scalp produces to protect your hair. By using dry shampoo, you are extending the period between your washes.
You can also rinse your hair thoroughly after swimming and apply a protectant leave-in in order to prevent washing it with shampoo and conditioner every day.
3. Leave your hair down
Humidity can be a hard to fight so many of us tend to keep our hair up in order to avoid the hassle of taking care of it. However, doing so damages the hair strand and makes our hair rougher on the long run. Here are different styles that you can do to maintain healthy hair while still looking fresh:
4. The ultimate oil treatment
A good hair treatment combined with a massage can be the ultimate key to a happier you. Using a blend of luxurious essential oils like Argan and Barbary Fig Oil, the treatment begins with a gentle exfoliation of the scalp using the Oil Ultime Oil-In-Scrub, along with a head, neck, and shoulder massage from the experts at Coya Spa to release stress and tension. With the relaxing sensation, this treatment will help you recharge and boost your hair from the inside out.
5. Hydrate your hair
Protecting your hair after is just as important as putting sunscreen before. it’s no secret that you should be protecting your skin by hydrating it. Nevertheless, this also applies to the hair. Hydrating your hair makes it look alive, soft, and shiny. There are many products in the market that can help you achieve this look, however, we made the process easier for you and narrowed down the list to the ones we believe are worth a try!
Curly hair can be difficult to take care of or maintain, which is why we believe HASK’s Curl Care Collection is a great option. Whether your strands are 2B or 4C, the Curl Care Collection guarantees the hydration and care your curls need. However, for the non-curly haired women out there, we still have an amazing nourishing mask from The Body Shop that guarantees soft and shiny results!
6. Protect your color
There’s a common misbelief that only blond people need to take care of their color, but that’s not true at all. Whether you are a brunette, dirty blond, or even a brunette with highlights, there is a risk that your hair can change color. This happens from the sun mixed with the chlorine and the sea salt and your hair color ends up getting all mixed up. You can save yourself from the beginning by using purple or silver shampoo once a month when you feel your hair is getting a brassy shine. Here are our favorite purple and silver shampoos:
7. Don’t skip a trim
Trust me we get it. Everyone wants long healthy hair for summer. But how can it be healthy if you’re skipping the trim? By doing so, you will end up having more to trim after the summer and your dream of having long gorgeous hair will be gone.
