Damaged Summer Hair Got You Down? – Video
When most of us think about summer, our minds immediately jump to visions of spending hours outside splashing around and soaking up the sun with almost nothing being able to bring us down, except our hair that is.
Limp, lifeless and dried out hair is all too common during the summertime, leaving our look less than luxurious. All the sweat and dust from our favorite outdoor activities leads to frizz, tangles and split ends that show no mercy. Worst of all, no amount of straightening, curling or product can tame your tresses. So what do you do to keep your summertime look long and luxurious all season long? Follow along as our luxury salon and spa specialists share their top tips to protecting your hair all summer long!
Protecting Your Hair from the Summer Sun
Over the course of summertime fun in the sun, there are several things that can go wrong with your hair. Overexposure to the sun’s harmful rays, too much sweat and the humidity can leave your style looking a little less than stellar. Make sure your hair has you looking fresh out of a professional hair salon with our style tips.
Determine Your Specific Needs
Any professional salon stylist will tell you that hair care is far from a one size fits all field, so take some time to assess your hair’s needs before choosing the right products that will work for you. Next time you make the trip to your favorite Pittsburgh salon, take some time to ask the stylist about your hair, scalp and what they would recommend for a long-lasting summertime look.
Make these trips a part of your summertime routine, giving you plenty of hair product and keeping your hair looking healthy and fresh with a new trim from time to time.
Giving your body plenty of liquids will not only keep you hydrated, but your hair and your skin will benefit immensely. Make it even more worth your while by infusing your water with fresh fruits and veggies to help you feel cool and comfortable all summer long.
Condition Regularly, Shampoo Sparingly
One of the biggest problems with summertime haircare is keeping moisture contained to keep your hair from drying out. Learn to love your conditioner and find a rinse-out formula that suits your hair type and texture. Opt for deep conditioning treatments at your local luxury salon and spa to keep your hair looking great and feeling fresh.
Shampooing your hair every day may seem like the right thing to do, but you may be doing more harm than good and too much shampoo can dry up your scalp even more. If you struggle with sweat and greasy hair, opt for a milder shampoo over the summer months. When showering focus on shampooing just the scalp, letting the suds run down your hair and cleaning it along the way.
Does your oily, greasy hair make daily washing a must? Opt for a dry shampoo to help you maintain your summer style without the need for showers or wet shampoos.
The Do’s and Don’ts of Summertime Styling
The summer sun is already putting too much stress from heat on your hair, so avoid turning to the hair dryer or using other heat styling tools this season. Instead, try to let your hair air dry whenever possible, or use the lowest setting on your blow dryer to slowly dry your hair. However, if you find yourself in a rush to dry your hair and get out the door, try using a heat protectant product like Phyto’s Phytokeratine protectant spray to help minimize heat damage and event repair weakened hair.
While scarfs are hats are the best way to keep your style protected, when these just simply won’t do make sure you have some leave-in conditioner with sunscreen, a hair mask or other sunscreen product specifically made to help protect your hair look and shine.
Summer heat means one thing for your hair: more frizz. Take control over your hair and style your look in braids, updos, ponytails and buns to help cut back on sweat and protect your summertime style from frizz.
