Summer does not spare hair

By health.bg   Published: 03/07/2009

Sun-rays burn and tear hair during summer months. It needs special protection because we can't stop the Sun's harmful influence.

Sun protection and water-resistant cosmetics form a protective screen that prevents drying from heat, sea salt and chlorine in pools.

During the summer you should forget about strong alkali shampoos. Replace them with natural products with no alcohol.

In your luggage you should also pack an after-sun shampoo that most good companies offer. It washes without damaging the hair, doesn't irritate the scalp, moisturizes and adds shine to the hair.

If the sun dries your hair too much use masks with almond oil or olive oil. During the summer you should avoid the hairdryer and let your hair dry on its own. Curling is also not recommended during the season.

The hat or the towel provide protection against the insidious sun rays. After the swimming pool always wash your hair with a mild shampoo for frequent use to wash away the chlorine.

The tips of the hair are most vulnerable. If your hair is too tired there is only one cure - a visit to the hairdresser.

Don't comb your wet frizzed hair with a brush. Important for its health is the brush and the comb to be made from natural materials.

For your summer hair - do use products that contain Karite oil. They will make your hair more shiny and if it is moist you will get a "wet effect".

Slight negligence is a key tendency in hair-does this summer season. Long hair should look like it's been scattered by the wind.

Stylists also recommended various ponytails and if your hair is naturally straight you should put a wide band in it.

Long hair is usually greasy in the roots and dry on the tips. Because of that when washing you should put the shampoo only on the roots then massage slightly and after that distribute the foam over the length of the hair, crumple the hair a bit and wash off. Moisturizer should be applied only to the tips.

If your hair is naturally curly or wavy it will be easiest for you to follow the fashion trends this season. Very popular are braids in every variety - looser combined with free flowing hair or braided like Pipi Longstocking.

If you have a very short hair all you need is gel. Use it on moist hair starting from the roots to the tips.

With medium length hair natural curls are fitting. Just roll the wet lock around your finger and put on a hairpin for ten minutes and then ruffle your hair.

Be careful with tight hair bands that can cause headache and loss of hair. Also avoid hair clips that pull and tighten your hair. During the summer it is better to put away the hair straighting press.

Don't forget that not only stylists and cosmetics will help your hair be shiny during the summer. A healthy menu is also required, rich in proteins, water and fresh fruits and vegetables.
