Care and protect your hair in the summer
Here are some simple and practical tips for you to keep your hair healthy and soft even in summer.
- cover your hair in the sun: if you expose yourself to the sun for a long time it is important to cover your hair with a hat or scarf. If you prefer not to use accessories, then we recommend purchasing a protective hair spray with natural ingredients. On the market you can find different types of sprays that can cover up to 90% of your hair from the sun’s rays.
- wash your hair with warm / cold water: when you want to shampoo, we recommend that you wash your hair with warm and finally cold water. In this way you will less stress the hair already too exposed to heat and make it much more shiny.
- always rinse your hair after swimming in the sea: a fundamental step to avoid any damage to the color and softness of your hair. Always rinse your hair with fresh water and remember to always apply a good conditioner.
- avoid the hair dryer and straighteners: try to avoid all hot tools that could worsen the health of your hair. Always apply oil to nourish them such as linseed oil.
- make nourishing packs: take the time to make a nourishing pack with specific products or even those based on olive oil. This way you will rehydrate your hair without stressing it too much. Keep your packs at least half an hour before rinsing everything off.
- apply sprays and sun creams: buy specific creams with sun protection for your hair and keep them collected during exposure on the beach. The advice is to comb them carefully, spray the protective spray and collect them with bun, braids or high ponytail.

In addition to the advice listed above, we want to suggest that you comb your hair carefully and avoid tearing it. It is very important to purchase a large and comfortable comb that can also be used in the shower while applying the masks. In addition to combing them carefully, you will need to trim them just before leaving to prevent split ends from worsening throughout the holiday, giving you a careless look.
In summer, go for hats, bandanas and scarves. Opt for comfortable hairstyles that can keep your hair always in order even on the beach, among our favorites we suggest:
- high tail;
- two low braids;
- high braid;
- high or low chignon.
Always carry large and small clothespins with you if you prefer a semi-crop. The important thing is that the hair is in order, well combed and always hydrated with special creams and protective sprays. In this way, you will avoid damaging your beautiful hair and will look perfect all summer!
