Summer is here, and with it comes the promise of sunny days, beach holidays, and outdoor adventures. While we all love soaking up the sun, the summer season can be tough on our hair. From UV exposure and saltwater to chlorine and humidity, your hair faces many challenges during the warmer months.
Why Summer Can Be Tough on Your Hair
Before we dive into the solutions, let's understand the common hair woes of the summer season:
UV Exposure: Just like your skin, your hair can suffer from too much sun. UV rays can break down the hair's protein structure, leading to dry, brittle, and discoloured strands.
Saltwater and Chlorine: While a dip in the sea or pool can be refreshing, saltwater and chlorine strip your hair of its natural oils, making it dry and prone to breakage.
Humidity: High humidity levels can cause frizz, making it difficult to manage your hair and maintain your favourite styles.
Sweat and Oil: Increased sweating can lead to a greasy scalp, requiring more frequent washing which can, in turn, lead to further dryness if not managed properly.
