In the summer it is best to avoid the direct contact between your hair and the sun. Often we suffer from hair damages after a summer vacation no matter where - in the mountain or at the sea. This happens because in the summer hair suffers from ultraviolet solar rays that destroy the hair pigment and keratin. As a result, it becomes weak, loses its shine and appear split ends. The heat and the hot wind worsen the problem, as they dehydrate the hair from its roots.
These troubles can be avoided or at least reduced. The most reasonable is to hide the hair from the sun. Hats, scarfs and towels are essential for the summer outdoor activities, specially for people with dark hair. Of course, for people with light hair, it is advisable to protect their hair from the sun too. |
There are special after sun shampoos and conditioners and a protective sprays designed to protect the hair from the harmful UV rays, covering the base of the hair and protect it from overheating.
People with dry scalp and hair should be particularly careful in summer. To maintain healthy the dry hair, you should use moisturizing products with extract of aloe vera, jojoba, ginger, pantenol, seaweed, rosemary, chamomile. All of these substances properly moisten the skin and the hair. The experts advise in summer to wash the oily hair every day with lukewarm water and rinse it with cold. |

In summer it is not recommended to use hair gel. It attracts the sun and may cause the so-called thermolysis - destruction of the hair base. The head massage is contraindicated too, becouse it promotes more active work of the sebaceous glands. In order not to disturb the pigmentation of the hair in the summer, it is not recommended to spray perfume or toilet water on it, which may cause depigmentation of the hair.
It is very useful once or twice a week to rinse your hair with herbal infusions. They do not protect from UV rays, but return the elasticity of the hair. And another secret. If you want your hair to look natural shiny, after every wash dry it with a silk towel. The smallest molecules of the silk fall at the base of the hair and make hair silky, soft and shiny. |
