Spring and summer hair care tips and what to look for in your products
As the seasons shift and temperatures rise, your hair care routine should be adjusted based on sun exposure and other key factors.
Environmental stressors like heat and humidity can dehydrate your hair quickly if it's not properly cared for.
Below are some tips to think about when shopping for spring and summer hair care products.
Prioritize hydration
Warm weather often leads to dehydration -- not just for your body, but for your hair too. When searching for a new shampoos, conditioners and leave-in treatments, look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe vera and lightweight oils. These help lock in moisture without weighing hair down.
Add UV protection
Just like your skin, your hair is vulnerable to UV damage. Overexposure can fade color, dry out strands and cause breakage. In the spring and summer, you can reach for styling products with built-in UV filters or use a UV-protectant spray before heading outside.
Fight frizz and humidity
Humidity can undo your best styling efforts in seconds, so look for products with ingredients like coconut oil or shea butter to keep things smooth.
Clarifying shampoo
Between sunscreen, sweat, saltwater and pool chemicals, your hair might need a little extra cleansing. You can introduce a gentle clarifying shampoo into your routine once a week to remove buildup.
