Spring is in full swing, which means you’ll soon begin spending much more time outside soaking up the Vitamin D! What you may not be aware of is the damage extended sun exposure can do to your hair. Although outdoor activities mean a bronzed body, too much sun can also bring about dry, sensitized, and lifeless hair. Here are some spring hair care tips:
Sun
Why not provide your locks with the right protection? Just as your skin needs moisture and SPF, your hair needs celebrated products to maintain its vitality and beauty. Available at your local professional salon are amazing hair care lines designed specifically for sun exposure. From moisturizing leave-in treatments to UV defense masks, you’re sure to be provided the best resistance against this season’s harsh sun.
Water
Another damaging element in this fun-filled time of year is chlorine and salt water contact. As the neighborhood pools begin to warm and family vacations commence, protecting our mane often gets ignored. But just ask our blonde friends as they know all too well how repeated trips to the swimming pool can affect your color. Luckily, by implementing solar care into your hair routine you can prevent that extra trip to the salon.
When purchasing hair care to protect against the harsh warm season elements consider looking for products that contain:
- Ceramides and Pro-vitamin B5: Great for reinforcing the cuticle and improving water retention to make the hair fiber more supple
- Glycerin: Excellent for improving the hydrating properties that ensure smooth touch.
- Photo-Defense Filters: These filters absorb UV rays during sun exposure and prevent deterioration of the hair fiber.
Humidity
Also, do not underestimate the power of a keratin smoothing treatment! These restorative systems work from the inside out to considerably reduce frizz, ease daily styling, and fight humidity from spring showers. Typically, your blow dry time will be cut in half. In fact, many find they enjoy their look air dried, which is a perfect option for those of us spending our summer on Lake Allatoona.
So why not treat yourself to a stress-free do? Make this upcoming spring your most beautiful one yet by protecting your best feature with these spring hair care tips!
