The sun is a primary source of vitamin D and makes people feel good, but the same cannot be said for skin and hair. Do you know that 89% of women state that having healthy and shiny hair, as it is when they leave the hairdresser, is a priority?
Of course, after beautiful days full of sea and scorching sun, our skin appears darker, golden, and radiant. Hair, on the other hand, reacts much less well to an overdose of sun.
Sun rays remove water, dehydrating the hair until it dries out. They lose softness and shine. The color fades, highlights turn yellow, dull, and become too light.
Hair becomes more fragile, and split ends also appear.
If we add swimming in the pool to this, the negative effects increase. Chlorine has a strong dehydrating effect. It makes hair straw-like and arid.
How can we avoid always wearing a hat or staying under an umbrella? Do we have to give up holidays, the sea, the pool?
No, certainly not. We must take care of our hair; we must pamper it. This is the time of year when it needs it most.
You could start, before your holidays, with reconstructions that preserve the hair structure during exposure. These are regenerating treatments that revitalize the hair.
After every swim, always cleanse with a delicate and nourishing shampoo. Hydrate with a good conditioner.
Always protect your hair when you go to the beach or pool. Use sun protection products; some are even water-resistant.
Do oil packs and masks as much as possible.
If you have read all my tips, you will have understood the importance of acting immediately to avoid ending up with faded, dry, dull hair. The sun must be our ally and not an enemy.
