Summer sun and holidays abroad can cause serious damage to our lovely locks. Especially for coloured hair, the good weather can leave roots and hair dry, damaged and unmanageable.
Want to keep your hair in good quality all year round? Take a look at some the hair struggles that the sun can cause and solutions to even the frizziest of hair conundrums.
Can't be tamed
Well, now it can be. For serious cases of frizzy hair fear this humid time of year, highly concentrated, moisture-filled shampoos and conditioners are a must.
As frizzy hair is caused by the intense drying of hair, it needs to be treated just as intensely. This is where high quality conditioning treatments are essential to maintain sleek hair and rehydrate both the hair and scalp.
Prone to a more sensitive scalp? Head over to your local salon for helpful tips and individualised advice from experienced stylists for the most suitable products for you.
Consider investing in a trim before a holiday or sun break away to keep your natural hair in its best condition possible also.
High and dry
Whether it be the blistering heat or the freezing winter conditions set for the future chilling months, both occurances dry out roots and hair leading to issues of frizz and difficult to manage locks.
Such damages to the hair and scalp continue when using hot styling tools like straighteners and curling irons. So leave the curlers in the drawer this summer and let your hair relax!
It’s also important to emphasise the essential use of heat protection products for your hair. If straight or curly hair is a must this season, take the necessary precautions to not damage hair further.
To the best of your abilities, shading your strands from the drying and problematic rays of the sun is a convenient method of maintaining hair’s quality also. Opt for a large sun hat or shield yourself under a beach umbrella when the sun is at its strongest.
To add further benefits, leave in a conditioning product at the beach so as to prevent saltwater and pool chemicals harshly impacting the hair and its roots. Furthermore, search for conditioners that contain the likes of UV filters for that final extra hair protection by the pool.
