Hair care in summer: everything you should avoid to prevent damaging your extensions
Hello girls!
Summer has arrived, and with it, the beach, swimming pools, terraces... and the damage that the sun, chlorine, and salt can do to our hair! But, hey, don’t panic, because at Shiny, we think of everything.
In today's post, we bring you a very complete guide to caring for your hair in summer and showing off radiant and hydrated hair and extensions in the hottest months of the year.
Let's see what you can do!
What factors damage our hair in summer?
Sun, chlorine, and salt are the main enemies of our hair in summer.
☀️The sun's UV rays weaken the hair fiber, making hair dry, brittle, and dull.
💧Chlorine in swimming pools dries out the scalp and opens hair cuticles, leaving it rough and porous.
🧂Sea salt, meanwhile, dehydrates hair and makes it more prone to breakage.
How to protect our hair in summer?
To prevent the sun, chlorine, and salt from damaging our hair, we can follow these tips:
- Use an appropriate shampoo and conditioner: Choose a shampoo and conditioner specifically for damaged or dry hair. These products will help hydrate and nourish your hair deeply.
At Shiny, we recommend our professional at-home hair care products from Olaplex, recommended by specialists for all hair types.
- Apply a hair sunscreen: Before sun exposure, apply a hair sunscreen to all your hair. This will help protect it from UV rays and prevent it from drying out and becoming brittle.
- Use a hat or cap: When you go to the beach or pool, use a hat or cap to protect your hair from the sun. This is especially important if you have fine or colored hair.
- Rinse your hair with fresh water: After swimming in the sea or pool, rinse your hair with fresh water to remove salt and chlorine.
- Hydrate your hair with masks: Once or twice a week, apply a hydrating mask to your hair. This will help you recover lost hydration and elasticity.
✨ Our recommendation: Olaplex hair masks, for deep hydration of your hair and exceptional shine
- Avoid excessive use of heat tools: Limit the use of dryers, flat irons, and curlers, as heat can further damage your hair. If you need to use any of these tools, apply a heat protectant beforehand.
- Follow a healthy diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and proteins will help you keep your hair healthy and strong from within.
