Keep Your Hair Healthy During the Summer

Dry heat and subsequent monsoons will be here soon enough, and that means you need to keep your hair healthy during the alternating heat and high humidity. Staying hydrated and avoiding drying hair tools are simple ways to keep your hair healthy. Continue reading for other tips to keep your hair healthy before and during monsoon season.

Drink Water

Water is the most important tool to keep your body and hair healthy, but that is especially true during Arizona’s summers. Drinking water throughout the day will keep you hydrated. It is essential that your hair be well-hydrated to keep it from breaking, looking lifeless, or drying out.

Use Conditioner

If your hair becomes frizzy or tangled due to the humidity, use a moisturizing conditioner. Your hair salon will have the necessary conditioners and products to reduce hair frizzing. If you need a quick way to reduce hair frizzing, then add a dime-size bit of oil to your hair. Avoid adding oil to your scalp, because your skin already produces a lot of natural oil.

Avoid Wet Hair

Monsoons can hit anytime and anywhere around Southern Arizona, which makes wet hair unavoidable at times. If you can avoid getting your hair wet throughout this season, though, then you can avoid bacteria and fungi from growing on your scalp. When you get caught in a monsoon downpour, then refrain from tying up your hair while it is wet or damp.

Avoid Hot Tools

Hot tools, like hair straighteners and curlers, can dry out your hair.. Dry hair can break and frizz, which looks unattractive and damages your hair. When you straighten or curl your hair, use the right products to put moisture back into your hair.
