Hello, beauties! Shear Sherrie here, ready to help you keep your hair fabulous and healthy all summer long. The sunny season is upon us, and while we all love basking in the warmth, it can be tough on our hair. Here are my top tips to protect your mane from summer's harsh elements.
Hat's Off to Healthy Hair
First and foremost, shield your hair from the sun by wearing a stylish hat. Not only does a hat add a chic touch to your summer outfit, but it also provides a physical barrier against harmful UV rays. Whether you opt for a wide-brimmed beach hat or a trendy ballcap, make sure it’s part of your summer essentials.
Lock in Protection with UVA/UVB Leave-In Sprays
Your skin isn’t the only thing that needs protection from the sun—your hair does too! Invest in a quality leave-in spray that offers UVA and UVB protection. These products form a protective shield over your hair, preventing damage from the sun's rays. Apply it generously before heading outdoors, and reapply after swimming or sweating.
Heat Less, Shine More
Summer is the perfect time to give your hair a break from the heat. Minimize the use of heating tools like blow dryers, flat irons, and curling wands. Instead, embrace natural hairstyles that let your hair air dry. Try beachy waves, braids, or loose buns to keep your look effortless and cool. If you must use heat, make sure to apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to reduce damage.
Extra Tips for Summer Hair Care
- Hydrate: Keep your hair hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using moisturizing hair masks.
- Trim Regularly: Get regular trims to avoid split ends and keep your hair looking fresh.
- Rinse After Swimming: Always rinse your hair with clean water after swimming in the pool or ocean to remove chlorine and salt residue.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy all the fun and sun of summer without sacrificing the health and beauty of your hair. Remember, at Shear Studios, we’re here to help you look and feel your best, no matter the season.
Until next time, stay stylish and sun-safe!
