Preventing Summer Hair Damage

The safest way to maintain healthy hair during the summer is through prevention. Knowing what your day holds can help you prepare your scalp and strands and keep summer hair damage to a minimum. Remember also that breakage is more of a risk at this time, too, so try to avoid putting unnecessary stress on hair through rough brushing, excessive heat, tugging, etc. 

Types of Summer Hair Damage

 SUN DAMAGED HAIR

The type of hair damage is caused by the sun’s UV rays. It can cause the hair protein to break down, leading to dryness, dehydration, frizz, and affect the color of your hair, too.
CHLORINE DAMAGED HAIR
Swimming pools and showers are the biggest culprits of chlorine damage. The chemical is capable of causing breakage, dryness, and discoloration.
 
SALT WATER DAMAGED HAIR
Salt water can contribute to dryness, dehydration, and frizz. Though a little bit of occasional salt exposure is fine, a long summer of it can cause damage.
HUMIDITY DAMAGED HAIR
Humidity itself doesn’t cause immense damage to your hair, but handling tresses incorrectly in humid environments can lead to concerns like breakage and frizz.

After Summer Haircare FAQs

HOW CAN I TREAT MY HAIR AFTER SUMMER?

Hair is often dry, dehydrated, splitting, or facing some other form of damage by the end of summer. Visit an expert in-salon for the best reparative treatments and use restorative products at home, too, like moisturizing shampoos, nourishing conditioners, and rejuvenating hair masks.

 

HOW DO I BRING MY HAIR BACK TO LIFE?

Damaged hair or strands that are feeling a little lackluster can be brought back to life through professional salon treatments and an at-home routine with restorative products. Speak with a stylist to find a routine that’s best for your hair type and the damage it has.

 

HOW CAN I STOP HAIR BREAKAGE IN SUMMER?

Use preventative measures to minimize hair breakage. Nourishing shampoos, conditioners, and masks as well as protective styling products are essential. Be gentle with your hair and avoid brushing roughly or exposing it to additional heat.

 

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY HAIR FROM HOT WEATHER?

The best line of defense is a combination of good hair products and physical protection. Prep hair with nourishing cleanse and condition then use a UV or heat protectant prior to styling. If you’re outside, a hair covering like a hat, can be helpful, too.
