In the summer, not only does your skin need to be protected, your hair also has to endure a lot. UV rays, salt and chlorine in water, sand and wind can dull, dry out and damage the color of your hair. Here's what to do to protect your hair.
Sun and wind
Almost all bad influences for your hair are present on the beach. Heat and wind make your hair dry and brittle and the sun causes your hair to lose pigment. This makes the hair dry and unmanageable.
Salt, chlorine and sand
If you've been swimming in the sea, you usually rub the hair dry. This is normally not good for your hair, but at the beach there is also salt and sand between the hair. These damage the hair even more when drying. Check this Hair Max review for best way to take care of your hairs.
Many people tie their hair with a rubber band before going for a swim . This is not a good idea! Water ensures that your hair expands and can get up to three times their normal width. The elastic becomes too tight around the hair and creates a break line, which is only visible after a few months. Salt water, together with sunlight, also makes your hair lighter.
Chlorine is also a culprit for hair. If you swim in chlorinated water a lot, your hair can get dry. Chlorine can also fade your hair color, or worse, change your hair color. For example, blonde hair can turn green. You solve this by smearing tomato ketchup in it. Let it soak in and rinse. Your hair is now beautiful blonde again.
Tips against summer hair damage
- Gently pat your hair dry. Do not rub, or you will damage the hair!
- Use special sun care products for your hair. Wear a hat, cap, or scarf to protect your hair.
- Use a good conditioner . Your hair feels softer and is easier to comb.
- Use a hair mask every four weeks. After a day at the beach or in the pool, rinse your hair well. Use a special oil or spray before you go out into the sun.
