Everyone enjoys the beautiful summer days either at the pool or the beach, but the heat from the sun can damage your hair.
Here are a few tips to keep your hair from looking dry and damaged.
- Keep hydrated – make sure you drink plenty of water to keep your body as well as your hair hydrated. Your hair also requires moisture to keep it healthy
- Conditioners – will help replace lost moisture due to heat exposure
- Go easy on the heat tools – sun or heat damaged hair will be more prone to breakage so avoid heat tools as much as possible. Make sure to use a heat protector product if you have to use heat tools.
- Watch out for chemicals – Chlorine will cause hair damage so be careful when swimming in a chlorinated pool. Wet your hair thoroughly prior to swimming as wet hair is less likely to absorb the chlorine. Remember to rinse with cool water after a dip in the pool!
- Don’t forget the sunscreen! – We use sunscreen for our faces and bodies so make sure you use sunscreen for your hair. Look for a leave in product that has UV protection, your hair will thank you for it.
