The hot summer months are not an easy test for hair. A two-day sunny weekend outside the city already threatens them with dryness and burnt locks, not talking about vacationing at the seaside. There are two types of ultraviolet radiation. UVA radiation actively dries them, and UVB radiation destroys pigment (both artificial and natural). In fact, the sun makes for the hair “natural” bleaching after which they become very fragile, dull and lifeless.

What to put into a suitcase to prevent hair from turning into something resembling straw?

A “special” shampoo with SPF is the least of the prerequisites, because even if it contains sunscreens, then, after washing off, alas, their minimum remains. In case of total summer dryness, it is much more important to provide them with the maximum level of moisture. Take any shampoo from the range of hair oil products that contain the following ingredients: keratins and proteins (for example, the popular “silk”); oils – coconut, mango and apricot, avocado and argan tree; purified underground water.

Next step: proper conditioning

This step is vitally important since it helps to prepare hair for stress from ultraviolet radiation: Proper conditioning is needed for moisturizing, repairing and smoothing. Overdrying during washing is best to avoid at all times, and especially in summer. Therefore, it is better to choose balanced formulas of hair oil products based on soft surfactants with moisturizing and conditioning additives.

The benefits of leave-in products

For effective sun protection, your hair care products must include treatments for indelible hair care. Hair oil products work in this case as great antioxidants and ensure the best natural heat and seawater protection. Apply product every time you plan to swim in the seawater or be under the summer sun.

Lifehack: do not forget about the products with SPF in urban conditions as well – it protects the hair well not only from sunlight but also from free radicals and various harmful impurities contained in excess in the atmosphere of the metropolis.

Remember that absolutely all types of hair – brunettes, brown-haired women and blondes with both natural colour and dyed hair – suffer from ultraviolet radiation – the sun makes even the most beautiful and healthy hair dry, brittle and dull. Don’t to use hair oil products with natural and organic ingredients and your hair will be thankful.
