Now that summer is finally approaching cruising speed, it is also possible to enjoy long days in the sun and refreshing swims in our own country. Great for your mind, less for your hair. Avoid hair damage and prevent permanent bad hair days by taking good care of your locks during the summer months. Five tips for a worry-free summer.
1. Deep hydration
Sun, salt water and chlorine can dry out your hair. First wash your hair with a softening shampoo that removes UV filters and chlorine (Shampooing shower après-soleil from Nuxe, 12.99 euros) and then use a nourishing, moisturizing conditioner – preferably one that you do not have to rinse – or a hair mask to to moisturize the hair. The Botanical repair leave-in treatment from Aveda repairs damaged hair from the inside and protects the strands against harmful sun rays and hot styling tools. Before combing, apply the product to the lengths and ends of towel-dried hair.

2. Neutralize unwanted color
UV light, heat and chlorine are the enemies of colored hair. Blondes also run the risk that their hair will get a green appearance after a dip in the pool. The culprit is copper, which ends up in the swimming pool water through the water pipes or by algae fighters. A shampoo with purple color pigments neutralizes the warm, yellow or coppery appearance of ash blonde, platinum blonde, white blonde and even gray hair.

3. Exfoliate the scalp
A weekly body scrub helps to remove dead skin cells and keeps the skin soft. But the skin on your head also benefits from an occasional scrubbing session. Hair scrubs remove residues from styling products and stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, so that the hair follicles are better nourished. Apply a mild hair scrub to wet hair and massage the scalp and hair roots with your fingertips.

4. Take care of dry ends
UV rays, heat, but also water and humidity damage the outer layer of the hair shaft, causing it to lose essential proteins and lipids. The fiber’s natural protective barrier is compromised and it becomes dull, harder to comb and ends split. End your hair care ritual with a nourishing oil to tackle dryness and split ends. Kérastase’s Nutri-Supplement Split Ends Serum contains lipids that help repair ends and create a protective barrier to combat chronic dryness.

5. Take supplements
Finally, don’t forget to take care of your hair from the inside out. By combining a healthy lifestyle with quality nutritional supplements, you give your body the best building blocks for a full, shiny head of hair. The supplements of the Belgian Metis contain zinc, bamboo and amino acids and prevent hair loss and provide shine and volume.
