Protecting Your Hair This Summer

Stopping Split Ends

Many women suffer from split ends throughout the year and this problem can become more apparent during the summer. Split ends can occur as a result of too much washing or harsh combing in addition to warmer weather. 

One of the best steps to preventing split ends is to limit hot styling tools such as blowdryers and curling or flat irons during the summer months. In addition regular, but not excessive, brushing can help. 

Make sure that you are using protection through regular use of conditioner as well as utilizing hair creams that have an SPF. 

Preventing Frizz

Humidity can cause the cuticle of the hair to expand resulting in frizziness. In addition to frizz caused by the climate, improper habits in caring for your hair such as improper heat styling and aggressive towel drying can result in added frizz. 

The best method for preventing frizz during summer is to utilize a anti-humectant product like a smoothing serum or applying a conditioning mask at least once a week. 

Ending Dry Hair

During the summer months it may be necessary to talk to your stylist about using a colorant that is free of ammonia to prevent your hair from becoming too dry. Using more hydrating products during the summer months will help to prevent your hair from drying out too much as well. 

Hair Loss

If you are experiencing hair loss you may feel like you can't participate in some of the activities associated with the summer months. By seeking a consultation with a San Diego hair restoration clinic you can enjoy all of these activities including swimming and sports and laying out in the sun without worry.
