How do you keep your hair healthy in the summer?

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 it, dry it out and affect its

 color.

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.
How do you keep your hair healthy in the summer?
For this it is best to follow a 3-step plan, which consists of moisturizing, protecting and repairing.
 

1. Moisturize

Before you go out in the sun, make sure your hair is in good health by moisturizing it properly. Avoid shampoos with drying ingredients such as alcohol or sulfates such as sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate, and ammonium lauryl sulfate. In addition, a weekly hair mask or the use of hair oil can help to moisturize the hair properly. Also read: Tips for Using Hair Oil.

 

2. Protect

The next step is to protect your hair from the sun. You can do this by wearing a hat and not getting your hair wet. But of course there is nothing better than a refreshing dip on a hot summer day and just as delicious with your cup in the sun! In that case there is another solution, namely the use of hairspray with an SPF between 10 and 15. Another important tip: if you wear your hair in a clear part, do not forget to lubricate the scalp with your parting. sunscreen otherwise your scalp can burn here! And don't forget your ears!

 

3. Recover

More and more brands in hair care offer special after sun products for the hair. Including in the form of a shampoo, mousse, mask or balm. With these products you can prevent your hair from feeling like straw. Your hair is well hydrated again, leaving it soft and looking well-groomed!
 

Salt, chlorine and sand

If you have been swimming in the sea, you usually rub the hair dry. Normally this is 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.
 
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 the hair. Swimming in chlorinated water a lot can cause your hair to become dry. Chlorine can also fade your hair color, or worse, change your hair color. For example, blonde hair can turn green. You can solve this by smearing tomato ketchup in it. Let it soak in and rinse. Your hair is now beautiful blonde again.
