Protecting your hair from the sun is crucial for maintaining its health during the summer. Use products with dedicated UV filters for hair and wear hats or head coverings during prolonged sun exposure. This protection will prevent hair damage and preserve its color and shine.

Moisture is a critical component in summer hair care. Use moisturizing masks regularly and choose hair care products rich in moisture. Additionally, avoid using hot hair dryers and allow your hair to air dry as much as possible.

Proper hair washing is especially important in the summer. After swimming in the sea or pool, thoroughly rinse your hair with fresh water to remove salt or chlorine residues. Opt for a gentle shampoo and avoid over-washing your hair—excessive washing can dry it out.

A proper diet can greatly support hair health. Maintain a diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, and drink plenty of water. Hydration will keep your hair moist from the inside and help it cope with the heat.

Choosing the right hairstyle can make hair care easier in the summer. Prefer simple hairstyles that don’t require a lot of heat to style. Loose ponytails, braids, or light twists are excellent options that also prevent damage to wet hair.
