Maintaining healthy hair during the summer can be tricky. The summer months often bring warmer temperatures, more humidity, chlorine or saltwater when swimming and more sun, which can all lead to hair damage if you are not looking after your hair properly.
It’s a good idea to adjust your hair care routine to protect it over the summer. Some tips from our stylists and hair experts at Artelier Formby include:
Hydration
Remember to drink plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.
Sun Protection
Wear a hat or use a UV-protection spray to shield your hair and scalp from harmful UV rays.
Gentle Washing
If it works for you, try to wash your hair less frequently to avoid stripping its natural oils. Use a gentle, professional shampoo and follow with a moisturising hair mask and conditioner to prevent your hair from becoming overly dry.
Leave in conditioners are brilliant for helping to nourish your hair further between washes. Why not try L’Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Pro Longer 10-in-1 Cream.
Deep Conditioning
Use a deep conditioner or hair mask weekly to replenish moisture.
We absolutely love Kérastase Resistance Masque Force Architecte Hair Mask for silky smooth, strong locks and Kérastase Elixir Ultime L’Huile Originale hair oil to lock in moisture.
Heat Styling
Try to minimise the use of heat styling tools where you can. Embrace natural hairstyles over the summer or have a go heatless styling methods to prevent hair damage.
If you are using heat, be sure to always use a heat protectant. We recommend Kérastase Resistance Extentioniste Thermique Hair Protection or Kérastase Genesis Defense Thermique.
Swimming Precautions
Before swimming in either the sea or a swimming pool, completely wet your hair with fresh water to reduce chlorine or salt absorption. After swimming, rinse your hair thoroughly and use a clarifying shampoo to remove any residue.
Trimming
Regular trims prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy. You can book your next trim with us at Artelier Formby now via artelierformby.com/book
Wide-Tooth Comb
Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle wet hair gently after swimming or showering to avoid breakage.
Lightweight Products
Opt for lightweight styling products to avoid weighing down your hair, especially in humid conditions. If you are unsure what the best hair care products for your hair type are for over the summer, one of our stylists would be happy to have a chat with you and point you in the direction of a high quality range that will suit you.
