Let’s explore the seven summer hair care tips you should never overlook to maintain healthy locks all season long.

Why do you want summer hair care? 

• Too lots of UV light all around the summer increases the risk of burning deep into the roots for the hair.
• These results from the UV rays oxidizing the hair, thus lightening its color.   
• While skin tans and develops darker, melanin in hair bleaches and produces a lighter tone.   
• Summertime causes a lot of sweating on the head, which can lead to a foul-smelling scalp or dandruff.  
• After enough sun exposure, the hair could also seem lighter than usual.   
• This happens as UV rays cause the hair to oxidize, therefore gradually darkening its color.
• Unlike skin, which tans and gets darker, melanin bleaches in hair and gets lighter. 
• The additional sweating throughout the summer could cause dandruff or a bad-smelling scalp.
• Perspiration combined with additional oil or debris on the scalp causes the itching sensation that finally shows up as dandruff.   
• It could seem flimsy and cause you shame among others.
• When too much time is spent outside in the sun, hair loses moisture and becomes vulnerable to chlorine in swimming pools.  
• Another consideration is the frizzy and dry hair.
• Consideration is the frizzy and dry hair.   
• Spending too much time outside in the heat and chlorine in a swimming pool causes too much moisture to be eliminated from the hair.  
• This weakens the hair shaft.   
• All of this should ideally be related to persistent hair damage.
•  The Most crucial point is that regular use of heat equipment destroys hair ends, thereby causing split ends.   
• Although this is not the sole reason split ends arise, heat styling tools like blow dryers are more likely to aggravate the condition.   
• Furthermore, the hair could suffer from extreme weather, including cold and heat.

How can I maintain clean hair?

Now known as the underlying causes of summertime hair loss and hair problems are those which can be managed with a suitable summer hair care routine. Good food and nutrition will also help to make summertime hair care hassle-free.

1. Understand How Summer Affects Your Hair

• UV rays harm the hair’s outer layer. This thins the hair and makes it dry and fragile. The hair becomes lighter in color also.

• Melanin is broken down in the hair, this leads to color fading.

• Over-sweating can cause the growth of dandruff and unpleasant scalp smell.

• Hair that has been treated with chlorine and has come in contact with saltwater is also stripped of any moisture and becomes frizzy, therefore leading to split ends.

2. Stick to a Gentle, Hydrating Hair Routine

• Buy shampoos that are sulfate- and paraben-free in order not to strip oils from your hair.

• Apply the moisturizing conditioner in every wash.

• Consider purchasing a light leave-in conditioner and/or serum to further enhance the protection and smoothness of your hair.

• Rinse your hair with cold water to lock in moisture and skip the frizz.

3. Cut Down on Heat Styling

• Heat during the summer is not favorable for your hair, so you should not even think of using hot styling tools.

• Air Dry is the best option, otherwise, you can use the cold air setting of the dryer.

• In case styling is inevitable then consider using a heat protectant spray.

4. Shield Your Hair from the Sun

• Wear a hat or a scarf as a precaution when going outdoors.
• Apply a product that is capable of protecting your hair from UV radiation.
• Spread a little sunblock close to your hair parted areas or hairlines for added protection.

5. Use Natural Oils for Deep Moisture

Apply oils like:

Coconut oil

• Avocado oil

• Argan oil

• Olive oil

These replenish the hair with moisture, thus smoothing the strands and acting as a shield against dehydration.

6. Trim Often & Use Hair Masks

Cut only the ends every 6-8 weeks to avoid hair breakage.

Once a week, treat your hair with a nourishing hair mask formulated with keratin, aloe vera, and shea butter.

7. Eat Right & Stay Hydrated

Make it mandatory to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily.

Make water-filled foods like watermelon, cucumbers, tomatoes, and oranges a part of your diet.

Consume nutrients like biotin, omega-3s, protein, and iron that your hair needs.
