Between sweltering weather, bright sunlight, and frequent trips to the
pool (chlorine), the season of fun in the sun can take its toll on your
luscious locks. If you don’t give a bit of TLC back to your tresses, a few
weeks into the season, you may notice that your hair is dry or brittle.
To take care of your hair now, here are a few expert tips from our team at
Accolades Salon Spa:
Swim Damage
Control
Since chlorine can strip your hair of its natural oils, you’ll want to wet your
hair before jumping in for a splash session. By pre-soaking your locks, your
hair will absorb less pool chemicals. When possible, rinse your hair
immediately after a swim and use a leave in conditioner to help combat any
damage.
A Good Trim
Getting rid of split ends with a fresh trim is a good way to start off the
summer. Not to mention, with the weather being warm, you are more likely to
want to chop off any extra length.
Better Product
A good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner can do wonders to get rid of the
summer’s sweat and grime. If you notice that your products are too heavy for
the warm months, be sure to add in a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove
any product buildup.
Skip Styling with Heat
Avoid styling your hair with anything that plugs in. This means you should avoid blow dryers, flat irons, and curling implements. To get a bit of curl into your hair without using tools, try washing it at night and braiding it for a relaxed beachy wave in the morning.
Protect from the
Sun
Make it a daily habit to apply a hair care protect to protect your head from
sun damage. There are plenty of UV filtering hair products in spray, cream, or
gel formats that can help your hair, scalp, and ears steer clear too much sun.
