First off here's some thing to avoid during the summer...
- Keep heat tools to a minimum; using a blow dyer or flat iron everyday is bad enough but add that with the heat your hair gets from the sun and your heat damage could get worse.
- Limit products for volume and avoid products with alcohol; They dry out your hair. You can still use your volumizing products just not as often.
- Try not to shampoo hair everyday; Summer or winter you shouldn't do it. Shampooing strips the natural oils from your hair and can leave it dry and brittle.
- DO NOT let salt/chlorine water sit in your hair; Can damage the crap out of your hair and strip away color. After swimming you should always rinse/wash out your hair.... A trick for swimming is to wet your hair before you get in the water and put in a little leave-in conditioner, this way your hair will not absorb the chlorine or salt water. There are also products made to be put in hair before your swim.
Here's some thing to try...
- Moisturizing shampoos
- Dry shampoos; instead of washing hair daily
- Deep Conditioner/Hair Mask; once or twice a week protein masks are great.
- If you have very oily hair try a clarifying shampoo once in a while.
- Try to get your hair trimmed every 6 months; even if your trying to grow it out.
- Use leave-in conditioners; Try some with an SPF.
- Drink lots for water; believe it or not it will help your skin and hair<3
- Wear hats or put hair up in a bun; this way less of your hair is exposed to the sun.
- For really frizzy hair put some jojoba oil on problem areas, wrap it and let it sit over night, then rinse in the morning.
Have some fun in the sun; & dont forget your sunscreen =]
