Summer is here, and sunny days can be great for us in many ways, but they can also have negative effects on the health of our hair. Some examples are deterioration of hair follicles, oily scalp, extremely dry ends and even hair discolouration due to the effect of chlorine in swimming pools. For these and many other reasons, taking care of your hair during the warmest days of the year is essential. This article focuses on how to prevent these problems with tips and tricks that will make your hair perfect this summer.
Tips for healthier hair this summer
Avoid direct sunlight
If you are going to spend all day in the sun, you should try to expose your hair to direct sunlight as little as possible, either by covering it with a scarf or hat or using a hair conditioner with SPF sun protection. Moreover, you must avoid using electrical devices such as hair dryers or straighteners, as they worsen the thermal damage to your hair.
This not only provides additional UV protection, but also contributes to a better moisture retention. An accessory such as a hat or a scarf can also help keep your hair still, thus decreasing potential damage caused by the wind, particularly if your hair is prone to tangling.
Keep hydrated
Maintaining good hydration is not only essential for body and mind, but it is also good for your hair. Remember that drinking water always hydrates your hair and prevents dryness of the hair follicles.
Along with drinking two to three litres of water a day, make sure you keep a balanced diet, rich in nutrients such as copper, zinc, vitamins and antioxidants, to achieve healthy hair and promote hair growth. If you find that always paying attention to your diet is hard for you, or you think that keeping nutritional balance on holiday can be hard, we suggest trying the HAIR NUTRITION SUPPLEMENT capsules by REDENHAIR: they are specifically formulated to keep hair follicles healthy, preventing oxidation and providing all the nutrients required to stimulate healthy hair growth.
Avoid contact with chlorine
The key to preventing the damaged caused to your hair by chlorine in swimming pools and thus avoiding discolouration is to prepare it before diving in. When the hair is dry, it behaves like a sponge. Therefore, before going into a swimming pool, try to wet your hair in the shower, ensuring it absorbs a much lower amount of chlorine. Afterwards, rinse your hair with water again to remove all the chlorine that may remain.
Once at home, we suggest using hair products that are not aggressive for your hair and provide the necessary nutrients to keep it moisturised and healthy. You can try REGENERATIVE SHAMPOO by REDENHAIR, made out of Redensyl and supplemented with several active ingredients that act specifically to prevent hair dryness and keep it healthy and hydrated. Moreover, it does not contain sulphates or parabens, two of the ingredients that have a negative impact on hair growth.
Wash your hair less often
Frequent washing eliminates the natural oils of the scalp, which are the sources of healthy-looking and shiny hair. This stimulates additional oil production. The solution to prevent this situation is washing your hair less often. On the days on which you do not wash your hair, be sure to rinse it with cold water to close the cuticles and retain its moisture. On washing days, you can also try products that condition and strengthen your hair for an extra dose of moisture. PRO-REGENERATIVE ACCELERATOR by REDENHAIR is the perfect product after washing your hair: its powerful formula hydrates, strengthens, stimulates, conditions and increases the shine of your hair, preventing breakage and leaving your hair healthy and protected against future damage.
With all these tips, you are ready to have perfect hair this summer. Bear them in mind at all times: attitude is everything! And if you complement attitude with REDENHAIR products, you will undoubtedly achieve the best results to take care of your hair during the summer.
