But at first sight, an innocuous and inviting summer conceals a lot of hidden dangers for women's health and appearance. Including your hair, especially long, subject to a number of negative factors in the warmest and, it would seem, favorable time of the year. But do not despair, our simple recommendations will help you protect your curls, as well as preserve their natural strength and beauty. So, how to take care of the summer for long hair?
THE SUN!
In summer, you just need to use quality products that protect both the skin and your hair. Some everyday styling products already protect from sunlight - in summer you need to use just such products. There are also a number of cooling hair conditioners with a protection of more than 20 SPF. In the summer, they are very relevant. In extreme cases, before sunbathing, carefully apply strands of sunscreen to the body, but at home, the hair should be washed immediately with shampoo.
By the way, about shampoo. In summer, you should change your usual shampoo to a moisturizer, if your is not. After all, your hair so need extra moisture under the ruthless scorching sunbeams! Do not forget also about the unique summer privilege - the possibility of making countless variations of homemade masks. They can be based on all sorts of fruits, vegetables, and also with the addition of dairy and cereal products. Such masks can perfectly nourish your hair, and they will immediately thank you for your care, daily radiating health and beauty!
A little bit about the headgear. Hats, panamki, bandanas, baseball caps, scarves - it's not only an excellent and reliable protection from the sun, but also stylish accessories that complement your unique image! In addition, in such a simple way, you will completely protect yourself from the danger of a sunstroke, which in the summer is not uncommon, and can lead to a lot of unpleasant consequences. The only thing you should remember is that this or that hat selected by you should not be tight, otherwise it can complicate the blood supply to the scalp, complicate the access of oxygen to the hair and even injure the hair structure.
AIR!
Namely, the wind. In other summer days, a warm breeze is not even weak. If your long hair is rather thin, then they will constantly become entangled in any gust of wind, even not strong. Accordingly, in this case, it will be advisable for you to go out into the air with loose hair, try to make spits, tails, all sorts of "bumps" and "bundles" more often, use kerchiefs and rims. All this can be very attractive and make you even more beautiful in the case of a skilfully chosen and well thought-out summer image, into which the hair style chosen by you and the corresponding accessories will harmoniously fit.
If your long hair is still very confused despite everything, start combing correctly - from the bottom of the hair, gently untangling and untangling the nodules, but in no way pulling or tearing them off. From this, the hair breaks, or it subsequently splits.
In addition, it is not a secret for anyone that the dry summer wind very much sears the hair. Therefore, in no case are we afraid to overdo it with moisturizing and nourishing the hair in the summer; about how this is done, we told above.
... AND WATER!
After bathing in the sea do not forget to rinse your long curls in a weak solution of soda, or in still mineral water. Then you should carefully apply the conditioner, or sprinkle with a spray (again, remember about sunscreen filters!)
For swimming in the pool, it is reasonable to use a rubber cap, but if such hats are your main enemies, then at least just apply a nourishing mask on the hair before swimming, it will protect them well enough against the corrosive and drying effect of bleach. After swimming, do not forget to rinse your head with soda or mineral water. In general, in the summer time, it is better to forget about swimming pools - chlorinated water can not be called useful either for hair or for the skin. And who needs these pools in the season of beaches and rivers?
In summer, as, however, and the rest of the time, you need to be very careful about drying your hair with a hair dryer. Remember that hot air has a very detrimental effect on your hair and irretrievably spoils them, drying them and even leading to the dissection of the tips! If you use this device, never dry your hair to the end, let them dry up on your own. And again - moisturizing, moisturizing and once again moisturizing.
And one more last, but very important rule: never, under any circumstances, you can not comb your long wet hair. It is necessary to wait for complete drying of the strands and only then to take up the comb. Note: moisture retains in the hair for about an hour after it feels dry to the touch. It is better not to save time and wait for complete drying, otherwise later you will have to spend immeasurably more time and effort to restore and treat damaged hair and hair bulbs.
