Summer is a long-awaited time for all girls, you can finally take off your jackets and enjoy the hot sun, but for hair, this period is considered stress. Let's see what is detrimental to our hair in the summer.

 

  1. The sun - It dehydrates hair, as a result, it becomes drier, more fragile and brittle. Our hair has a complex structure; it contains protein, as well as various amino acids, vitamins and pigments. The sun emits several types of ultraviolet rays that are detrimental to our hair. Beta rays can destroy the hair pigment, this applies to both natural pigment and coloured hair, and Alpha rays destroy the hair cuticle, so the hair becomes dull, dry, and loses its elasticity.

 

  1. Water and wind - The most frequent spores are caused by sea water and what does it bring to the hair - benefit or harm? Sea salt adversely affects the hair, salt molecules penetrate into the hair structure and slowly destroy it. But you can not only talk about the dangers of sea water, for example, but seawater is also very useful for the scalp because it contains many minerals and trace elements that can strengthen the bulbs. However, the hair itself is greatly affected by the salt water, the hot sun and the warm wind. If we talk about freshwater bodies and rivers, their influence on the hair cannot be called positive. They contain dirt, bacteria and microbes, which also adversely affect our hair.

In the summer, the hair and scalp are contaminated much faster; this contributes to street dust, sweat, styling products, etc. Therefore, washing becomes a fairly frequent procedure that needs to be approached wisely.

 

  • First, you need to find the right hair shampoo. It should be lightweight, suitable for frequent use and for any type of hair. The composition should contain moisturizing ingredients (jojoba oil, herbal extracts, essential oils, panthenol, vitamins, biotin, etc.) and silicone oils that help retain moisture in the hair (dimethicone, cyclodemethicone).

 

  • Secondly, the water should not be warm, not hot, and rinse the hair better with cool or even cold water, it will close the hair scales and they will be smooth.

 

  • Third, you need to wash your hair as it gets dirty, even if it happens every day or every other day. Since sebum and dirt that accumulate on the scalp clog pores, oxygen does not flow to the bulbs and they weaken.

The use of a mask or balm for hair after washing is required. For the summer period, it is better to choose a moisturizing conditioner and a nourishing mask. Conditioner to use every time after washing and the mask is enough 1 time per week. Also, pay attention to cosmetics with UV protective filters. They create a thin layer on the hair that protects the hair from the sun.
