The sun, sea and wind can discolor your hair, dry it out and make it look "lifeless". In addition to sunscreen for your skin, you should take extra care of your hair during the summer.
The best hair protection is a head covering or scarf when you sit or walk in the sun and a swimming cap when you go swimming. After swimming, it is important to rinse your hair thoroughly.
In addition, we have these tips for you:
There are all kinds of shampoos that are supposed to strengthen, nourish and so on. There are even special shampoos that contain a UV filter for sun protection. However, a shampoo stays on the hair too little to really have an effect. An ordinary mild shampoo for daily use is more than enough. Do not use too much shampoo during daily washing. After shampooing, apply a moisturizing conditioner if needed. It is preferable to choose a product that does not contain alcohol and as many natural ingredients as possible, writes scientificorigin.com.
To protect the hair even more, you can apply a protective lotion or gel. Especially with colored hair, this can help prevent rapid discoloration.
Do not use products containing silicone or mineral oil (petrolatum, petroleum jelly, paraffin). Do not forget to rinse the products well at the end of the day. You can apply a nourishing hair mask once a week.
There are various products for this, but regular olive oil works just as well and is much cheaper. Avoid silicone or mineral oil based products. Apply the product to the hair with a cotton pad, wrap a towel over it and leave it to soak for a few hours before washing it thoroughly.
Let your hair air dry and don't use a hair dryer in the summer. Young children, adults with thin hair, and those who are balding should apply sunscreen to the scalp to protect the scalp.
