This is how you prepare your hair for the summer so that it always looks beautiful

High temperatures affect both our scalp and hair, and even more so when it comes to wearing color. For this reason, it is better to start following a set of habits that will ensure not only beautiful hair but also healthy hair.

Start the summer with a good set-up

To ensure a happy ending, We have to get off to a good start. To do this, prepare your hair for the arrival of heat. “Dehydration is just one of the effects of summer and the most vulnerable part that dries out our hair earlier are the ends. It costs nothing to get over them to prevent breakage. Also, now that the heat is coming, feed them with specific products that make it easier to seal them, another option is food oils that are only used in this area,” explains M.ª José Llata ​​from Peluquería Llata ​​Carrera from Santa Cruz de Bezana (Cantabria).

Scalp: the importance of balance

The scalp is a skin with some quirks, the main one being that it is an area of ​​high blood supply. “The scalp is where the anchorage and growth of our hair takes place. It is there that it is nourished thanks to the blood circulation that carries the oxygen and nutrients needed to grow. The sweat, the finishing products, the metals in pollution or the residues of color pigments are deposited, preventing optimal functioning.Therefore, in the face of summer, it is advisable to carry out a peeling that will free it from all kinds of residues and particles that have accumulated over the year. This is how we ensure healthy hair, as it largely depends on the health of the scalp,” says Rafael Bueno of Rafael Bueno Peluqueros from Malaga.

Change shampoo to adapt to the new temperatures

During the spring, the weather changes are constant. This means that some days we have more winter temperatures and others more summery. “In the heat, the scalp tends to sweat, but in the cold, it dries out and these constant changes can stress it. It is advisable to observe it and see if it tends to be oilier or drier and from there correct the excess sebum or moisturize more. We need to adapt shampoos to different seasonal needs and start using formulations that cleanse gently and are not so thick. Now we don’t need that much hydration,” advises Charo García of Ilitia Beauty & Science from Balmaseda (Bizkaia).

Protect, prevention is better than cure

With the heat comes the first dips and also more sun exposure. Just as you protect your skin, you also protect your hair. “If you’re going to be outdoors for a long time, spray your hair with sunscreen, an essential gesture if you’re also going to be diving in a pool or the sea. To further minimize damage, one trick is to put on a mask before bathing.” , this way we ensure that the hair does not get thirsty and at the same time it is protected.You also have to be careful with the hair when it is wet, both in the shower and on the beach, as it is more fragile and has a tendency to break. Avoid pulling and comb it better with the conditioner,” says Raquel Saiz of Salón Blue of Raquel Saiz from Torrelavega (Cantabria).
