Natural Hair Tips for Summer

As summer is fast approaching, our hair needs shielding from sun damage so below are a few do’s and don’ts on how to look after your hair.   Minerals and oxidizers are the biggest contributors to summer hair and scalp problems.   Repeated chlorine and metal exposure from the pool will cause our hair to turn green.

If there’s anything worse than using products with harsh chemicals, it’s using them in partnership with our hot summer sun. The summer heat opens the pores of the skin and scalp, which then allows for further absorption of ingredients in hair products – so make sure your hair and body are absorbing only the best organic products.   As with all EverEscents Organic Hair Care productsthe ingredients are of the highest quality and do NOT contain any harsh chemicals.

Do’s

• Drink plenty of water. The more hydrated you are, the more hydrated your hair and body will be.
• It’s a good idea to wash your hair straight after exposure to the sun, surf and chlorine.
• Add moisture to your hair prior to jumping in the pool – just think of your hair like a sponge, ready to soak up any water.  A dry sponge will absorb more of the chemicals if put into the chlorinated water than a wet sponge already soaking wet would.  So, wet the hair and/or put in a leave-in conditioner prior to going to the pool.
• Cut loose split ends frequently to prevent split ends from travelling up the hair shaft and damaging the hair.  For healthy hair, it is recommended to have a trim every four to six weeks.
