Summer is approaching, time to wear short hairstyles and pay special attention to your hair care, because the sun and humidity is the worst enemy of your hair's cuticles, causing damage that results in split ends, dry hair, frizzy hair or brittle hair. In healthy conditions, hair’s moisture content is approximately 10%, but sunlight has the same damaging effect as a hot blow dryer on your hair.

Keeping a hair care routine and short hairstyles during summer does help to prevent novice effects of sunlight. Additionally, wearing a hat at the beach, and applying after sun exposure such as a Sun Hair Repair Mask, keeps or replenishes the moisture of your hair. However, take in mind the aluminizing and voluminzing products make your hair take body and shine but do not hydrate it.

It is not mandatory to spend your summer on the beach, so if you stay home take a weekend to apply a good deep conditioner on your hair. Health care at home allows you to take an intensive treatment with jojoba oil, or any other product especially designed for dry hair or frizzy hair. Apply the warm treatment on the ends and frizziest parts of your hair, wrapping it in plastic, then go to bed and sleep the night through.

For some people, it isn't even a matter of style or hair health - it's just easier. People with curly hair who prefer the straight look might spend two hours washing, putting in product, drying, putting in more product and straightening. It's a long, complicated process that leaves hair full of chemicals.

This style seems tailor-made for summer. Summer hair has always been a problem. The sun dries it out and makes it frizzy or straw-like. In humid places, it curls where it isn't supposed to or goes frizzy. Gentle shampoos and curling products can help, but why not work with the style at hand?

Keep your hair healthy and shiny throughout summer with these simple hair care tips:

1. If you blow dry a lot, use a smoothing Serum, preferably containing silicone before and after blow-drying to prevent frizz.

2. If you are going to be swimming a lot, protect your hair from chlorine by combing conditioner into wet hair before jumping into the pool.

3. Rinse your hair immediately after swimming to wash out harsh chemicals that may damage your hair.

4. A conditioning spray specified for detangle is a great way to easily detangle hair after swimming.

5. When on the beach or by the pool, apply sunscreen to your hair and scalp to protect from sunburn.

6. Avoid going in for perming, curling or straightening treatments during the summer months. Find out your favorite style and stick to it for 6 months.

7. To protect your hair color highlights from the sun, apply conditioner on to the highlighted hair and hide away most of their hair in a tight bun.

8. If you have a sun-burnt scalp already, make repairs by using Aloe Vera gel on the sun-burnt area before going to bed.

9. African-American women can use oil-based hair products specified for them to protect their hair from becoming brittle and tangled.

10. Last but not the least; give your hair some rest by refraining use of too many hair products for a couple of days. Just let them breathe easy.
