Hot Weather Hair Care Tips

The hot summer sun feels great, but excess heat can really damage your hair. In the summer, it’s time to change up a few habits to keep your hair soft, silky, and frizz-free. Here are a few tips from the pros for healthy summer hair.

Protect against sun damage. The heat from the summer sun can dry out your hair, causing damage that leaves your hair frizzy and prone to breakage. Wear a wide-brimmed hat when you’re out in the hot sun. Use a sun protectant product with UV filters to block harmful sun rays.

Get regular trims. Even when you’re growing out your hair, it’s important to get regular trims to keep split ends away. With the summer heat, hair is more prone to breakage, especially if it has split ends. Regular trims from your Anna’s Salon Elite stylist will keep your hair looking healthier.

Protect your hair before swimming. When your hair is dry, it soaks up the chlorine in swimming pools and saltwater from the ocean, and both these can damage hair. To lessen the risk, rinse your hair or apply a little leave-in conditioner before swimming, and rinse as soon as possible after swimming to get rid of salt and chlorine residue.

Condition often. The best way to fight summer dryness is by adding more moisture, so switch up your conditioning products, or add more conditioning, during the summer. You can do this by adding leave-in products to your routine, switching to better hydrating conditioners, and weekly deep conditioning treatments.

Avoid heated styling tools. With all the heat of the summer, adding more heat can really do a number on your hair. Ask your Anna’s Salon Elite stylist for ideas to style your hair without using blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons for a great summer style.
