5 verified tips for healthy and beautiful hair in the summer

You don't have to travel to tropical regions in order for summer to impact your hair. High temperatures, UV rays and humidity cause the hair and scalp to lose more water.

Prevent them from complete dehydration. Use shampoos and conditioners with moisturising ingredients such as glycerin, panthenol, aloe vera and natural oils. Treat your hair to a hydrating mask on a regular basis.

Try to limit heat styling during the summer months, wear a hat or headscarf, rinse your hair with clean water after every swim and remember to drink plenty of water.

Why does hair frizz so much at the seaside? High humidity causes the outer hair cuticle to rise, allowing moisture to penetrate the hair shaft. This leads to hair soaking up moisture and changing the shape of its fibre — and thus, frizz is born.

To not end up like Moniсa from Friends at the resort, choose your anti-frizz hair care carefully. Leave-in serums and conditioners are your secret weapon. Also keep oil treatments and hydrating masks on hand.

Limit washing, blow-drying and towelling your hair. Better to let it air dry.

When else to try crazy hairstyles, if not on a holiday, festival or summer party?

Try something new and bold, even if just for a little while. For example, brightly coloured hair strands, braids and various dazzling hair accessories. Experiment with texture – try a sleek wet look with a gel or natural beach waves with just a salt spray.

Summer is a great time to express your creativity, make hair styling more fun and gain new confidence.
