Wash your hair with gentle shampoos

In summer, we inevitably wash our hair more often, because we swim in the sea or lake and simply sweat. For this reason, during the holiday season, it is especially important to make sure that the shampoos we use are as gentle as possible. Only such cosmetics will not irritate the scalp and tear the protective barrier from the hair. So opt for gentle shampoos. These are such cosmetics that do not have strong detergents in their composition, such as SLL, SLES, etc.

Remember to use conditioners and masks

On vacation, we don’t have time to care for our hair. So it’s easy to neglect applying masks and conditioners after every wash. However, it is essential for your hair to be protected from the sun. If you don’t forget to apply such products after washing your hair, it will be moisturized and protected from the sun. It is especially important to use emollient conditioners.

There are hair cosmetics in drugstores that contain a UV filter. For example, these are special mists and oils. It’s worth getting them in the summer to protect your hair all the time. 

Wear scarves and hats

Protect your hair and head from the sun in the summer. By wearing a hat or scarf you will make a barrier between the sun and your strands. It will prevent damage to your hair. It’s worth buying a stylish scarf before you go on vacation and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Hair, whether long or short, should be healthy and shiny above all else. What can be done to restore shine and bounce to your hair? Here is an overview of hair treatments, which you can do either at the hairdresser’s or at home

Well-Tended Hair is Essential

There is no woman who does not dream of having thick, shiny and simply beautiful hair. It makes us feel more attractive. Many factors have a negative impact on the condition of our hair. Certainly, too frequent colouring destroys their structure. Rubbing hair with a towel and using a hair dryer, flat iron, curling iron or even a hair band. The list is quite long.

Often, the condition of hair is also affected by how we eat and whether we have a lot of stress in our lives. But let’s focus on hair treatments. It is important to remember that in order for the effect to be not superficial, hair care must be performed regularly.

Regeneration of damaged hair

Recently, oil treatments have become very popular. Oil treatment improves the condition of hair, gives it shine and makes the hair beautiful. It is very important to choose the right oil and application method. This combination will provide long-lasting and stunning results. The porosity of the hair has a direct impact on the choice of oil. Here is a quick reference guide.

Low porosity hair, which includes straight, shiny, volumeless hair that is difficult to style, needs specific hair care. The ideal oils for this hair type are palm, coconut, babassu and shea.

Macadamia and jojoba oils, as well as sesame, flax, pumpkin seed, rice and marula oils are ideal for those with medium-porous hair, which is weak, lacking shine and moisture and tends to split and frizz.

What about highly porous hair? For this type of hair, which is characterized by brittleness, damaged texture, frizz, static and excessive hair loss, choose argan oil, sweet almond oil, cottonseed oil, evening primrose oil, corn oil or grapeseed oil.

How does the oiling process work?

You can choose between two methods. After washing your hair, apply oil for about an hour and rinse out. This is called wet treatment. The other option is dry oiling. Apply the oil of your choice to your hair, wrap it in a shower cap and leave it on, preferably overnight. In the morning, wash and rinse your hair thoroughly. Oil treatments can be applied twice a week to badly damaged hair and once a week to maintain the effect.

What treatments should I get at my hairdresser’s?

In the hair salon you will find a whole range of treatments that aim to regenerate the structure of the hair. Here are the most popular ones:

• keratin hair straightening – involves the use of a concentrate of hair care ingredients. The preparation is applied and then pressed into the hair with a special straightening iron. As a result, the hair becomes smooth, soft, flexible and full of shine;
• sauna – a hairdresser applies a special ampoule to the hair. Then for 20 minutes we land under a special machine, which generates a lot of heat and steam. This allows the ingredients contained in the ampoule to be absorbed into the hair structure. The result is moisturized, regenerated and strengthened hair.
