If you play sports or swim, these activities can damage your hair as well. Dont worryshiny, healthy hair is within reach this summer as long as you give your tresses some extra TLC.

How to Protect and Care for Your Hair This Summer  

Sun Protection  

Like your skin, your hair needs to be protected from harmful UV rays in the summer. Too much sun exposure contributes to dry strands and frizz, and can make color-treated hair fade faster. Your first line of defense in this case is a hatgood thing baseball caps are back in style. Alternatively, consider a hair care product that contains UV filters. These come in spray, gel, or cream formulas and will protect hair from sun damage and help keep your color fresh for longer. 

Swimming Hair Care 

Saltwater and chlorine take a serious toll on hair. If youve ever spent a day at the beach or in the pool, you may have experienced the dry, frizzy effects for days afterward. Protecting your hair before, during, and after swimming is important especially for color-treated hair, since the shafts are more fragile. Short of wearing a swimming cap, you could tie your hair up so it doesnt get wet, or apply a protectant spray before you dive in. After swimming, make sure to rinse out the salt and chlorine and apply a good conditioner.  

Keep Hair Hydrated  

Since the sun and heat are drying, keeping moisture in your hair is a task during the summer. For starters, try switching to a more hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Hair treatments, leave-in conditioners, and hair oils can be a big help as well. For an extra boost of hydration, you can apply an enriching hair mask weekly to restore shine and reduce frizz.  

Book A Trip To The Salon 

Sun, surf, and a more active lifestyle all play a part in making hair drier in the summer. For that reason, split ends tend to show up sooner. To keep your ends healthy, frequent trims at the salon or at home are the key. If you dont want to lose any length, ask your stylist for a dustingor a very light trim every four to six weeks, instead of getting a full trim or cut. 

Skip The Heat Styling 

Because of the hotter temperatures, the effects of heat styling are emphasized in summer. Using hairdryers, curling irons, and other hot tools are hard on hair already, so if you can, try to cut back and enjoy your natural texture until the weather cools down again.
