Summer is one of the most beautiful times of the year. This is the time when you want to relax, rest, catch every ray of sun and use all the beneficial factors of summer to the fullest. A daily walk in the fresh air is very important and good for health, but we must not forget about the beauty and protection of hair during this period. Therefore, today I want to tell you about several rules for hair care in the summer.

During this period, the hair becomes thinner, drier and loses its shine. Caring for them in the hot season requires a special approach, since the influence of external factors, namely temperature, is exacerbated. Hair loses moisture, the hair cuticle is damaged, and it becomes stiff, loses elasticity and is difficult to style. Because of this, split ends and hair burn out. There are many factors that demonstrate the negative impact of the sun on the condition of hair in the summer.

Tips: how to care for your hair in summer

I recommend using a sun protection line, which may consist of shampoo, conditioner, mask and spray, for example. It is important that this is comprehensive care.

The shampoo will gently cleanse the scalp, remove dirt or salt (during being at sea) from the hair, and restore moisture levels. In addition, the shampoo will help strengthen your hair and protect the color from fading in the sun.

Protective hair cream: moisturizes hair, makes combing easier, makes hair manageable and prevents frizz.

The mask nourishes and moisturizes the hair more deeply, and if you choose the right mask, hair fragility will also decrease.

A spray with a waterproof formula should be used before and after exposure to the sun, which will help retain moisture in the hair structure and protect against fading. In addition, a nice bonus is smoothness without weight.

Well, there is an accompanying rule that we absolutely must not forget about: in the summer you need to wear hats: caps, headscarves, panama hats - or, as a last resort, use an umbrella.
