Get a Fresh Trim at Pure Excellence Hair Design for the Summertime

Summertime’s here, so keeping hair healthy over the summer is our blog topic this month. Warm weather during the summertime makes being outside delightful. However, sunlight, pool chemicals, humidity, and saltwater can wreak havoc on your hair. To get the most out of summertime weather outside and still protect your hair, you can:

  • Wear a Hat on Sunny Days
  • Use Leave-In Conditioner Before Going Outside
  • Decrease Heat Styling

Eliminate Split Ends with a Trim at Pure Excellence Hair Design. 

Save Hair in Summer by Wearing a Hat and Decreasing Heat Styling

In the summertime, it’s common to wear a hat for shade and protection from UV rays. When you wear a hat during the summertime, it not only protects your skin, but your hair as well. Your strands keep from getting scorched, and your scalp remains protected when you wear a hat. Besides wearing hats, you can protect your hair during summertime when you decrease heat styling.

How Do You Protect Hair in Summertime When You Decrease Heat Styling?

Prolonged heat exposure, including the sun’s heat, dehydrates hair. If you plan to go outside a lot during summer, you protect your hair when you decrease heat styling. Wash your hair at night, put it into braids, and make beach waves in the morning instead. It might feel difficult to decrease heat styling at first, but you’ll be happy you did in the long run.

Use Leave-in-Conditioner, and Eliminate Split Ends During Summertime

Humidity during the summertime can cause frizziness in our hair. When you use leave-in conditioner, it combats frizziness. Leave-in conditioner also helps detangle hair, and
protect it from sun damage, such as breakage. Curly, coarse, and textured hair especially benefit from leave-in conditioner, and the extra moisture it provides. Whether or not you use leave-in conditioner, you’ll benefit from getting regular trims over the summer to eliminate split ends.

Why Should I Eliminate Split Ends?

When the ends of your hair become dry, brittle, and frayed, you have split ends. Not getting regular trims to eliminate split ends can lead to further damage to your hair. Split ends aren’t repairable. The only reliable method to eliminate split ends is to cut them off.
