Summer can be very drying on our hair and skin. Yet, we often overlook maintaining a regular regime for our hair and scalp. Bringing back the lustre your hair rightfully deserves is an easy thing to do, provided the regimen is strictly followed |
-
Understand:
Determine whether you have dry, oily or combination hair and treat it accordingly. Make sure you consult a professional for information on those products that should be used by you.
-
Shampoo:
Use one that is free of Sodium Laureth Sulphate, as it is perfect in very dry conditions. It does not strip your hair and scalp of all its proteins.
-
Oiling:
While oiling is part of our culture, it’s not all magical by itself. It sometimes makes your hair feel more brittle and heavy.
-
Conditioner:
Evey time you shampoo your hair, a conditioner has to be used to ensure that the cuticle has been closed to prevent moisture being lost. A leave-in conditioner is also very beneficial.
-
UV Protectors:
Please use products that have UV protectors and cover your hair when you are out in the sun.
-
Sun Screen:
If you are swimming, make sure you stock up on sunscreen for your hair, not regular sunscreen but one especially for your hair.
These simple summer tips are a sure shot way to make you look and feel better this summer, so why delay - enjoy your summer! |
