How to care for your hair in summer

Lack of shine, dryness, a rough, brittle feel are some of the effects we notice in our hair during the summer months. Not sure how to look after it in summer? Read on and we will tell you which routine to follow and which products to use for gorgeous hair. Keep reading!

Yes, our hair, just like our skin, also suffers the harmful effects of solar radiation, pollution, pool chlorine and sea water. If we do not follow the right treatment and do not protect it when we are out in the sun, our scalp can become irritated and our hair can lose shine, density and become more brittle and lifeless.

Tips for caring for your hair in summer

• Apply sun protection for your hair. These products, usually in spray format, are very moisturising and have great penetration into the scalp.
• Use shampoos, masks and other hydrating treatments. In the Farmaciasdirect catalogue you can find a wide variety of these products.
• Avoid tight hairstyles, such as braids or certain ponytails. This type of look weakens both the hair and the scalp. The same applies to parted hairstyles, as they make that exposed area more prone to sunburn.
• Wet your hair before and after the pool or beach. This helps reduce the penetrating effect of chlorine and salt.
• Rinse your hair with plenty of cool water. This helps promote blood circulation in the scalp and removes residue.
• Avoid exposure to high temperatures. Do not overuse hairdryers or straighteners. Ideally, let your hair dry naturally, but if you do need to use one of these tools, use a medium temperature and a heat protectant.
• Cover your head. Wearing hats, caps, wide-brimmed hats or similar items creates a physical barrier that protects our hair from damage caused by the sun.
• Before and after summer, trim the ends (around 5 centimetres) of your hair to keep it healthy and prevent dryness.
