The sun is out and most of us enjoy time to visit the beach or play in the yard, especially after losing some time to COVID the past few years. We all know to protect our skin with sunscreen while outside for long periods of time, but did you know that your hair needs protection too? Here are some tips that may help you protect your hair from the hot sun this year.
Your hair needs vitamins and supplements just like your body especially when it’s exposed to harsher elements such as the sun, sand, or wind. One such product that has been specifically created to benefit your hair and scalp is HairStart® Essentials, available at New England Associates®.
For women with color-treated hair, your hair is at an even higher risk for dehydration and damage. The sun, chlorine, and saltwater are all factors to consider when playing outside on a sunny day. The sun is the reason that most women have to color their hair twice as often in the summertime. The chlorine and saltwater dry out and cause damage to the hair follicles. The best way you can protect color-treated hair during the summertime is to put an SPF product on your hair several times a day while you’re exposed to harsh temperatures. An easy way to do this is to mix your ordinary SPF with water in a spray bottle and spray it on your hair. This may help protect the color and prevent damage.
But SPF isn’t for everyone. So who doesn’t love a big sun hat, bandana, or caps? They are cute, stylish, and protect your hair from the weather, sometimes even better than a spray-on SPF. Hats are a good source to use if you don’t want to lace your hair with SPF. Hats keep the sun exposure off of your hair and they help to keep the wind from turning your hair into a tangled mess. Especially if you are on a boat or riding with the top down in your convertible. Every woman should have at least one hat you can put on when you know you will be exposed to the sun for long periods of time.
However, we all know that complete coverage from the sun is impossible unless you never go outside. And what fun is that? To ensure that your hair stays healthy all summer long it is important to take care of it. After a long day of splashing in the pool or frolicking at the beach without SPF or hats for hair protection, you can always take care of your hair when you get home. At home be sure to wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that has nourishing factors such as vitamins and minerals. This will restore the shine that the sun has taken away. Also, after you get out of the shower it is important to spray on a leave-in conditioner as this will ensure healthy hair growth and softness.
The Swimmers & Mineral-Busting Bundle With Conditioning Mist from New England Associates® combines NEA’s Phase 4 Shampoo for hair exposed to harsh chemicals and minerals, NEA’s Replenish Deep Conditioning Treatment for damaged hair and to help protect hair from harsh elements, NEA’s Protein Treatment Spray, and NEA’s Conditioning Mist which provides detangling and moisture and protection from heat appliances while reducing “frizzies” all at the same time. There is also a version of this bundle available without the Conditioning Mist.
