Learn How To Protect Your Hair During The Summer Time!

  
          Yayy!! Summer is almost here and we already know that we have to protect our hair during the winter and spring, but we MUST remember that we also have to do the same thing for the summer. Here are a few helpful tips that I came across that are great in keeping your hair looking moisturized and healthy during the summertime.

1.  Moisturize:

• Use a moisturizer with UV protection.

• Use a leave-in conditioner to hair daily. Apply it in the morning and the evening or as needed depending on your level of dryness. 

• Do a deep conditioning treatments more often.

  
2. Reduce the use of heating tools:

• You want to prevent as much heat damage as possible during the summertime so give the flat iron and blow dryer a break.  REMEMBER: If you do decide to use any heating tools, make sure you always use a heat protectant.  

3. When swimming at the pool or beach:

• Chlorine can be very damaging to both natural and chemically treated hair. If you’re hitting the pool a lot, it can can lead to breakage and splits ends. To protect your hair apply a leave-in conditioner before jumping in the pool. 

• Salt water can make color treated hair look dull or even change color if hair is exposed to it a lot. You should wash your hair with a color treated shampoo and conditioner after swimming in the ocean. 

4. Protective styles:

• Wear braids, cornrows, and twists. Wearing these types of styles reduces your need to use heating tools. 

• If you know your hair is going to be exposed to the sun for a long period of time, wear a hat or scarf to protect your hair.  Also, you can even use an umbrella to protect your hair from the sun.

 

I hope these tips keeps your hair looking great this summer :)
