How do I take care of my hair in summer?

In the summer we are used to taking care of our skin more, but what about the hair? When the warm summer weather sets in, our hair actually needs more attention than usual. To keep your hair healthy, shiny and beautiful after the summer, we have put together some important tips for summer hair care.

What Are Harmful Factors To Hair In Summer Season And Why Do You Need To Take More Care Of Your Hair In Summer?

Although proper hair care is important all year round, the hot summer sun, strong winds, salty sea water, wearing a hat and sweating on the scalp all pose a real challenge to our hair Function is to protect the hair from external irritants. However, when the armor layer is damaged, it can no longer adequately protect the hair, and the hair becomes dry, dull, lifeless, difficult to comb, and easily susceptible to various external damage. The cuticle of the hair is negatively affected by the intense UV radiation of the summer sun, strong wind, salty sea water, dust, sweat, but also by grains of sand that get on the hair. To prevent your hair from becoming brittle, you should protect it a little more than usual in the summer.

Here are some tips and tricks to take care of your hair in summer.

Allow the hair to air dry. The less excessive heat your hair gets, the better. If possible, avoid heat treatment of the hair.
To wear a hat. This protects your hair from direct sunlight. A hat or cap acts as a sunscreen on the skin and helps prevent damage.
Cut the ends of your hair more often. The hot summer sun makes the ends of your hair porous and more prone to split ends. It is worth trimming the ends of your hair more often in the summer than usual.
Dye your hair less often. In the summer, give your hair a rest and avoid dying your hair with a permanent color if possible. Chemicals in hair dyes also put additional strain on the hair.
Use a cooling mint shampoo. ZB Nurme Mint Rosemary Shampoo has a refreshing and revitalizing effect on the hair, leaving a pleasant aroma on the hair and stimulating the hair follicles.
Avoid washing your head every day. Frequent hair washing makes the sebaceous glands more active, causing them to produce more and more oil. An endless vicious circle can develop. In addition, daily washing removes the natural layer of oil that protects the scalp. If you struggle with hair that gets greasy quickly, we recommend trying Nurme's natural lemongrass shampoo. It regulates sweat production and keeps your hair cleaner for longer.
Strengthen your hair with a vitamin-rich hair mask. The hair mask acts on the hair as a vitamin-rich support that helps it stay healthy and shiny. As summer heat, salty sea water, wind and sweat put your hair to the test, it's important to nourish and care for it regularly. Masks and serums rich in vitamins, which provide intensive care and help your hair to recover better after a long stay in the sun, are ideal for this.
Dampen your hair before swimming in sea water or pool. Wet hair is less susceptible to salt and chlorine and therefore has a lower risk of hair damage.
Don't forget the conditioner! The hair conditioner closes the calluses of the hair and thus protects the hair from the influences of the external environment and keeps it clean for longer.

Which oils are best for hair care and why?

Avocado oil, coconut oil, shea nut oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, and argan oil are great for stimulating hair. Both shea nut and argan oil are helpful for dry and damaged hair. Shea nut oil helps to repair dry and damaged hair, giving it more vitality and a silky shine. Argan oil, in turn, nourishes dry scalps and smooths dry, cracked hair ends. The hair becomes strong and vital again. You can put a small amount of hair oil in the ends of your hair after every hair wash. In addition, various essential oils are suitable for use, which can also have a stimulating, blood circulation-promoting or calming effect and offer comprehensive protection for the hair. Essential oils can be added to shampoo, conditioner and hair masks.
