Stay Cool This Summer With Long Hair - Here’s How

Proper hair care is the key to healthy looking, shiny strands and beautiful hairstyles all year round. What are the basic steps to upgrade your hair care routine during hot summer?

• You need to prepare your hair the right way before styling it in summer. High temps and a humidity spike may dehydrate your hair, so provide an intensive moisturising routine to your hair and do not forget to use nourishing masks or leave-in products.
• At the same time, avoid heavy oils and over-nourishing formulas that make your scalp greasy.
• A protective SPF factor from the sun is required if you spend time outdoors. Choose hair products with UV filters that help protect your hair from the sun.
• Try to use hair products without scent: in crowded places in the heat, people around you may feel uncomfortable about too strong fragrances. Besides that, in the fresh air, perfumes can attract insects.
• Highlight your natural hair texture with salt hair spray or create a trendy wet hairstyle.
• Bright hair accessories are the best for summer, especially retro styles with headscarves that also can protect your hair from the sun.
• To save yourself from heat, learn as much as possible about put together, fast, and easy summer hairstyles for long hair.

Long hair is usually more prone to hydration imbalance than short hair, and the summer heat can only make it worse. So, you may find your hair greasier at the root and drier at the end. But there are a few steps to avoid this condition in summer:

• Brush your hair regularly to keep the lipidic balance between roots and ends.
• Do not overweigh your roots with heavy and oily hair care products.
• Moisturise your hair and dry ends every day.
• To tame frizz, do not intensively rub your hair while washing. Gently wipe the excess water with cotton cloth, or microfiber towel.

If long strands make you feel hotter just put them up in a ponytail, bun, or a stylish braid. Less bulk around your neck and shoulders will make you feel more comfortable in hot weather. To achieve a clean and sleek look, tame hair frizz with leave-in moisturising products and finishing sprays.
