Good hair is very important to a person’s overall aesthetic.
But it can be especially hard to have your hair living its best life during summer because, look, humidity never did anything for anyone. Your hair goes dry, frizzy and all-round gross without special care, so keep reading to see how to give your strands the love and attention they deserve during the warmer months.
WEAR SUN PROTECTION, YOU GOOD THING
You shouldn’t need another reason to wear hats other than skin cancer prevention but here, have one. Hats protect your hair from the sun rays that otherwise damage the hair, sometimes causing hair loss. It’ll also help to prevent any sand / impurities getting into your hair, and prevent overall exposure to the elements that cause havoc to the otherwise smooth cuticle layer of your locks. If you forgo a hat you’ll face the consequences of dry, rough and straw-like hair.
Besides, a sunburnt scalp is not fun. We’ve all been there. Try and opt for a hat that’s not too tight – this can make for greasy roots and dry ends.
COAT YOUR HAIR BEFORE IT GETS SALTY
Going to the beach is pleasantly unavoidable in the warmer months, but there are things you can do to make sure the saltwater does not take its toll on your mane. Wet your hair with clean water or spray in leave-in conditioner before going into the water. This closes the pores in your hair, ensuring the salt does not damage.
USE A GOOD SHAMPOO + CONDITIONER
What you wash your locks with matters – you need to know what your hair craves and satiate that. For example, when dry, fly-away hair is in full force this summer, John Frieda® Frizz Ease® Miraculous Recovery Shampoo + Conditioner can sort that nonsense out. Not only does it repair the look / feel of heat + colour damaged hair, it’s also a wing defence for any incoming damage. It doesn’t cost that much more than the dodge home brand stuff you’ve been scraping the barrel with, and you’ll see the difference big time with the premium stuff, queen.
Add John Frieda® Extra Strength 6 Effects™ Serum before you dry your hair (which protects from humidity, heat styling and general frizz), before finishing off with the Secret Weapon® Finishing Crème (which moisturises strands + seals pesky split ends, and can be used throughout the day when needed). Lord knows you’re going to take some selfies this season. You can see the full range here.
SMASH THOSE FRUITS
You know what’s good about summer? It’s fruit season. You know what’s good about fruit? Its packed with the good stuff. Vitamin C, for example, creates a protein called collagen which helps hair fight against ageing. It can be found in citrus fruits, guava and strawberries. You’re going to smashing fruit anyway so pick something your hair, as well as your tummy, can thank you for.
