Summer! It’s of the most wonderful
time of the year next to Christmas. Girls are busy shopping for bikinis, while
boys are checking out on what water sports to try. Mom and dad are busy looking
for an affordable vacation package, while the entire office is excited for
their “all expense paid by the boss” outing. Really, tis’ the season to be
jolly.
But don’t forget, summer is all
about dry climate, dry skin, and dry hair.. Uh oh. So before you head out to
your destination and have a little fun under the sun, please take note of these
five treatments on how to prevent hair dryness this summer. Of course you don’t
want to go back to work with a dry frizzy hair do you?
Fighting
Hair Dryness this Summer Starts with Five Treatments
●
Sun Protection
Concoction. Whenever you go searching for a perfect sunscreen lotion for
your skin, don’t forget to purchase one for your hair as well.. Your hair needs
it as much as your skin does. There are hair sprays or leave on conditioner
that works as coating each layer of your hair and shielding it from the harmful
UV rays. You’d certainly need this product since you’d be walking on the shores
for an extended period of time. It’s much better if you can also wear oversized
hat.
●
Anti Split Ends
Serum/Cream. This will avoid nasty split ends caused by extreme heat. But
to help its efficacy, you must avoid combing your hair after sun exposure. And
for the meantime stay away from blow dry and curling irons. Let your hair dry
naturally and style it with care.
●
Au Naturale
Products. Stay away from products that are made with SLS (sodium laurate
sulfate). It can severely damage your hair over time leading to dryness and
hair fall. Keep an eye on products that are more organic by reading their
labels carefully. You can also try a home-made hair mask found on your kitchen
cabinet - olive oil or coconut oil. Just simply apply and massage it into your
scalp, roots, to the strands of your hair. Allow it to sit for a few hours and
rinse it thoroughly using a natural shampoo. This works best before and after
sun exposure.
●
Protein Rich
Conditioner. Chlorine is a disinfecting agent found in swimming pools and
ocean. It’s a very harsh chemical that leaves hair dry, frizzy, and sometimes
turns your hair to a rubberized texture. It’s extremely damaging most
especially to color treated hair. So before you make a splash, make sure that
you’ve applied protein rich conditioner days before.
●
Salon Experience
Before Summer Fun. Go on and indulge your locks with a protein treatment
before your summer destination. Have your hair stylist give you a new do by
doing a trim, layer, or cutting it short. This will remove split ends and will
give you that “I’m ready for summer!” look.
