Healthy Summer Hair Tips and Tricks

With summer around the corner, we can’t help but start to worry about the changes our hair is about to go through. Heat, sun exposure, and humidity are all ganging up and putting our poor hair under pressure. With the right preparations and adequate haircare, you will have no problem enjoying the summer while maintaining your beautiful hair.

One of the quickest ways to protect your hair from sun exposure is to stay indoors or in the shade. Of course, we know that this isn’t an optimal solution since many of us enjoy beach days, and just being under the sun in general while the summer lasts. A quick solution for that is to always cover your hair. Wearing a hat will protect your hair and face from harmful sun exposure. Wrapping a scarf is also another option for a lighter alternative. If covering your hair is out of the question, using leave-in conditioners with UV protection is also recommended. You can also run your hands through your hair after having applied sunscreen to your skin.

Since your hair will be exposed to a significant amount of heat already, you should consider giving it a break from regular blow-outs. Opt for more natural hairstyles whenever possible. A mixture of water and natural oils (such as avocado oil and argan oil), is a great spray to keep on hand for when your hair starts to feel too dry. Spraying it a few times with this concoction will help it regain its moisture. As we have mentioned repeatedly to our dedicated readers, shampooing your hair daily will do more harm than good. We understand that the summer calls for daily showers, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to shampoo. Rinsing your hair with water is adequate to get rid of sweat without stripping your delicate hair of its natural oils.

Visiting experienced hairsalons, such as one of the best hair salons in Houston, Le Prof, is a great way to make sure your hair is taken care of properly. Their steamers and leave-in conditioners are especially helpful to moisturize your hair during hot summers!

Summer is the season to try out different hairstyles. If you’ve been wanting to try a certain updo, now is a perfect time for that. Buns, ponytails, and braids are also great for keeping your hair off of your shoulders to prevent sweat along with keeping frizz under control.
