Effects of SUMMER on our hair
We are increasingly aware of the damage that the sun causes to our hair. That is why we must give it special attention if we do not want to suffer the hair consequences at the end of the season.
UVA and UVB rays damage the cuticle, the outermost layer of the hair, making the hair more fragile and brittle. Cuticle damage also means less healthy hair. The hair loses shine and acquires a dull appearance and this, in turn, in curly hair makes it more difficult for the curl to form.
But... Cheer up! what will we give you some tips you can implement so this doesn't happen.
- Cover the hair: It is the first thing you should do when you go to the beach, or take a walk in the sun, whether with hats, scarves or caps. This will keep your hair from being directly exposed to the sun. You can also opt for hairstyles such as braids or bows.
- Thermal protectors: It is recommended to use them, to protect hair from heat.
- Wet hair with fresh water: It is very important to protect hair from chlorine and salt. Chlorine from swimming pools damages hair, as it tends to remove the natural oils from our hair, which is especially harmful to curly hair, which tends to be drier. As for sea salt, it tends to dehydrate hair. That is why we recommend wetting the hair before and after exposure to chlorine and salt.
- Avoid dehydration: At the organism level, drinking more water in summer is key to ensuring a good state of hydration. During the summer season there is more sweating, which leads to a greater loss of fluid. Keeping your body hydrated will help your hair, but you must also counteract the damage caused specifically to the strand, with moisturizing products, such as nourishing masks, at least twice a week. With them, in addition to avoiding possible damage, the cuticle will be sealed, minimizing frizz .
- Avoid heat: Avoid the use of heat, dryers, diffusers, try to dry your hair naturally as much as possible.
- Avoid using combs: Try to comb your hair with your fingers, with wet hair, if this is not possible, use a thick-toothed brush that cannot break your strands.
- Self-care routine: Normally in summer when you are on vacation, care is somewhat relaxed, so we must be aware when choosing a self-care routine since it is the time of year when hair requires special care to not be damaged and maintain a healthy appearance, so it is essential and necessary to use professional quality products.
