Home » Summer » Summer Hair Do's » What to Know Before You Pick a Summer Hair DoSummer is a fun-filled season of picnics, vacations, and time spent by the pool. So it's a perfect time to play around with a new hairstyle or color, too. Unfortunately, the summer sun is not your hair's friend! In fact, it can be absolutely detrimental to your locks, not to mention the wind, pool chemicals, sea salt, and other hair damagers that come with the sun. Even the healthiest hair can find itself dried out, damaged, and breaking due to the season, not to mention that the frizz and dull color can make it difficult to style and frustrating to try to keep up. That's why step number one in finding the perfect summer hair do is figuring out how to protect your hair while keeping it cute.
No matter how long your hair is or how you'd like to style it over the summer months, the first thing you need to do is purchase conditioners, ointments, gels, sunscreen shampoos, or whatever else you can afford to help keep your hair in tact. Also, try giving your hair a few months off from daily drying and styling. Choose do's that allow for air drying and less hair product. (If you have to use your hair dryer, use a lower heat setting.) Try not to shampoo every day, or - if you have to - switch to a gentler shampoo. If you're at the pool or beach, rinse out your hair as soon as you can, and leave in a little conditioner throughout the day. Don't brush or comb your hair when it's really wet; it will probably break. Also, remember to have the ends trimmed regularly. These tips will help your tresses, whatever summer hair do you pick, look a lot healthier and happier.
