5 rules for hair and scalp care in summer

wash my head properly

One of the most common myths that trichologists face is: “Daily or frequent shampooing is harmful.” In fact, the condition of the hair and scalp is affected by the specific products that we use.

If they are natural in composition and have a therapeutic effect, then daily use will only benefit the hair. But with beauty products based on silicones, parabens and sulfates, you should be careful. From the first application, they give the hair smoothness and shine. But over time, accumulating in the hair, they have a devastating effect on their structure: they provoke dryness, brittleness and loss, as well as itching of the scalp and dandruff.

How to solve these problems, which only get worse in summer? Choose cleansers that contain natural ingredients and plant extracts. For example:

• Argan oil moisturizes and nourishes the hair and scalp, improves blood supply to the hair follicles, has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects;
• Jojoba oil gently and effectively removes the sticky layer from the hair from the use of cosmetics;
• Soybean extract gives volume and restores hair structure;
• Aloe vera leaf extract helps prevent dandruff and make hair thick and healthy;
• Cucumber extract has strong antioxidant properties, relieves irritation and soothes inflamed skin;
• Ginseng root extract prevents hair loss, activates microcirculation and dormant hair follicles.

Moisturizing and nourishing

To properly complete the cleansing ritual, after shampooing, you need to use masks and balms. They are necessary to nourish the hair, restore its structure and close the cuticle. In addition, caring components have a beneficial effect on the scalp. When the product combines two effects at once – a mask and a balm, it provides a comprehensive solution to the necessary tasks.

Detox and scalp exfoliation

In summer, the work of the sebaceous glands of the scalp intensifies, and the hair more actively accumulates dust from the air, sea salt and bleach from pools. Therefore, one shampoo is not enough to remove all impurities – additional deep cleansing of the hair and scalp is necessary.

A professional detox ritual allows you to effectively cleanse your hair, remove toxins, ensure normal blood circulation of the scalp and activate the nutrition of the hair follicles. This is a comfortable and relaxing procedure based on the use of therapeutic serums. And at home and on vacation, you can carry out an express option for peeling the scalp.

Sun protection

The head, as the highest point of our body, is most exposed to the harmful effects of sunlight. And ultraviolet is one of the main factors of early photoaging of the scalp. Destroying collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, its rays deprive the skin of moisture, and the hair follicles of normal nutrition.

Therefore, in the summer months and during holidays in hot countries, be sure to wear hats and try not to be under direct rays. Additionally, livins help protect hair from the sun – indelible products – sprays, essences, oils or creams.

Recovery and recovery

If the scalp is healthy, then our hair is shiny, strong, smooth and elastic. But their condition is instantly reflected by a sharp change in climate or a change in diet. Or, for example, nervous strain – it can provoke vasospasm. As a result, the hair follicles begin to lack nutrition, and the hair may fall out or become dull.

To reduce the impact of stress factors and maintain the health of the hair and scalp, treatment and care products that are applied to wet washed hair before styling help.

In addition to external transformation, they solve several important tasks at once: they stimulate hair growth, heal and restore them along their entire length, prevent the appearance of gray hair, and also provide easy combing and thermal protection.
