Look After Your Hair This Summer

Top Hair Tips For Summer At Natural Hair Company In Lisburn

Summer is a season of sun, sand, and sea, but it can also be a challenging time for your hair. The heat, humidity, and UV rays can lead to dry, damaged, and frizzy hair. However, with a few simple tips and tricks from our expert team at Natural Hair Company in County Antrim, you can keep your hair healthy, shiny, and beautiful all summer long.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Just as your body needs hydration, so does your hair. Summer sun can strip moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and brittle. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out, and use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to keep your hair moisturised. Look for products with natural oils and ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, and shea butter. You can also ask a member of our friendly team to recommend the best hair care products to hydrate your hair!

Give your hair a deep conditioning treatment once a week to replenish lost moisture and repair damage. Look for deep conditioners or hair masks with ingredients like keratin, argan oil, and coconut oil. Apply the treatment to damp hair, leave it on for 20-30 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. Alternatively, book in for a hair treatment at our Lisburn hairdressers!

Protect Your Hair From Heat

UV rays can damage your hair just as they can damage your skin. Protect your hair by wearing a hat or scarf when you're outside for extended periods. You can also use a leave-in conditioner with SPF or a UV-protectant spray to shield your hair from harmful rays.

Your hair is already exposed to enough heat during the summer months, so try to limit the use of heat styling tools like blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners. Embrace your natural hair texture or opt for heatless styling methods like braids, buns, or twists. If you must use heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant spray beforehand.

Rinse After Swimming

Whether you're swimming in a pool or the ocean, rinse your hair with fresh water as soon as you can. Chlorine and saltwater can be very drying and damaging to your hair. After rinsing, use a clarifying shampoo to remove any residual chemicals and follow up with a deep conditioner to replenish moisture.

However, keep in mind that washing your hair too frequently can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Try to wash your hair only 2-3 times a week and use dry shampoo in between washes to keep your hair looking fresh. If your scalp gets oily quickly, use a sulphate-free shampoo to cleanse without stripping moisture.

Trim Regularly

Regular trims are essential to keep your hair looking healthy and prevent split ends. Aim to trim your hair every 6-8 weeks during the summer to maintain its shape and eliminate any damaged ends. This will also help your hair grow stronger and longer. Book your regular trims in with our expert team of hairdressers at Natural Hair Company in County Antrim.
