As summer heats up across East Sussex, bringing with it sunny beach days, refreshing dips in the pool, and exciting holiday adventures, our hair often faces its own set of challenges.
From frizz to dryness and colour fade, the warmer months can take a toll on our precious locks. But don't despair! At EHSalon, your trusted hair salon in Bexhill, we believe beautiful, healthy hair is possible all year round, even amidst the summer sun. If you're searching for "summer hair care Bexhill," "frizz control East Sussex," or "hair protection tips," you've landed in the right place! We've put together the ultimate guide to help your hair not just survive, but truly thrive this season.
Understanding Summer Hair Woes: What's Happening to Your Hair?
Before we dive into solutions, let's quickly understand why summer can be such a challenge for our hair:
- Sun Seekers & UV Damage: Just like your skin, your hair is vulnerable to the sun's harsh UV rays. Prolonged exposure can break down hair proteins, causing colour to fade (especially vibrant tones!), and leaving strands feeling brittle, dry, and prone to breakage.
- Pool & Ocean Adventures (Chlorine & Salt Water): While a refreshing dip sounds lovely, chlorine in pools and salt in the ocean can strip your hair's natural moisture barrier. This leads to excessive dryness, dullness, and for our blonde clients, the dreaded greenish tint from chlorine buildup.
- Humidity Havoc & Frizz: The rising moisture in the air causes hair to absorb water, leading to the expansion of the hair cuticle. This results in that all-too-familiar frizz, loss of definition, and styles falling flat.
Your EHSalon Summer Survival Tips: Protecting Your Hair All Season Long!
Fear not! With a few simple, strategic steps, you can keep your hair healthy, shiny, and vibrant throughout the summer months:
Protection is Key: Cover Up!
Wear a Hat: Your most stylish summer accessory is also your hair's best friend! A wide-brimmed hat offers excellent physical protection from the sun's harsh UV rays, shielding your scalp and strands. We love this BABAHU one!
Gentle Cleansing for Summer Hair:
Summer often means more frequent washing due to sweat, chlorine, or sea salt. It's crucial to opt for products that cleanse gently without stripping your hair's essential natural moisture. For a nurturing cleanse that truly restores, we highly recommend MOOD Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. They are specifically formulated to help nurture your hair back to health, making them perfect for summer.
Deep Conditioning: Your Hair's BFF! 💖
Make a weekly or bi-weekly deep conditioning mask a non-negotiable part of your summer routine. This intensive treatment replenishes lost moisture, repairs existing damage, and fortifies your hair, keeping it soft, shiny, and resilient against environmental stressors. Think of it as a tall, refreshing drink of water for your strands!
Hydration Heroes & Daily Defense:
To combat dryness and add a brilliant shine, apply a good quality leave-in conditioner or a lightweight hair oil on damp hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. For an extra boost of luminosity and unparalleled frizz control, Moroccanoil Treatment Original is one of our all-time favourites, ensuring your hair stays soft, smooth, and manageable even on the most humid days. You can find it here: https://amzn.to/3ZirIN6
And for a lightweight, multi-purpose hydrator that offers daily defense against environmental stressors and incredible detangling, we absolutely love the Moroccanoil Leave-In Conditioner Spray! It's a true summer essential for effortless hair care. Grab yours here: https://amzn.to/3HvE1Q0
Embrace Low-Heat & Heatless Styling:
Give your heat styling tools a much-needed break during the summer. Explore heatless styling options like braids, chic messy buns, or simply air-drying with a texturizing spray. This minimizes further heat damage from styling, allowing your hair to recover from sun exposure. We adore KITSCH and all their heat free solutions
