Healthy hair? Yes, we care!

Summer brings sun, fun, and lots of enjoyable outdoor activities, but it can also pose a challenge to the health of your hair. The intense sun, heat, and high humidity can take a toll on your hair and cause permanent damage. But don't worry! We have seven tips for you to help protect your hair from heat damage during the hot summer months.

1. UV protection for hair

Just like your skin, your hair can be damaged by UV radiation. Therefore, use hair care products that offer UV protection, such as sprays or leave-in conditioners with UV filters. These help protect your hair from harmful sun radiations and prevent hair color from fading - true to the motto #defeattheheat

2. Summer Bliss without the Frizz

The heat and humidity in summer can lead to frizzy hair, so use a moisturizing shampoo and a good conditioner to keep your hair sufficiently hydrated. Leave-in conditioners or hair oils can also help to retain moisture - so frizz doesn't stand a chance!

3. Add a Cherry on Top

Wear hats, caps or scarves to protect your hair from direct sunlight. A stylish hat or cool cap can not only protect your head but also your hair from the harmful effects of the sun and also spice up your summer outfit.

4. Beat the Heat

Reduce the use of hot styling tools such as curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers. The combination of natural heat from the sun and artificial heat can cause immense damage to your hair. Therefore, let your hair air dry if possible and use heat-free alternatives to style your hair, such as curling ribbons for heat-free curls . If you do have to use hot styling tools, be sure to use heat protection products .

5. Just swim, swim, swim

Chlorine in pool water and salt in sea water can dry out and damage hair, so remember to rinse your hair thoroughly with clean water after swimming to remove sand, salt and sunscreen residue.

6. More condition(s)

Use nourishing hair masks and deep conditioners to revitalize your hair this summer. These treatments will restore moisture to your hair, repair damaged hair, and make it shiny and smooth again.

7. Stay hydrated!

Remember to drink plenty of water to support your hair from within. Well-hydrated hair is more resistant to external influences.
