Like you pick the right sunscreen to protect your skin from the heat likewise you should also protect your hair as well. Our hair goes through quite a bit during the warm months, coupled with the fact we usually take off on a holiday where the salt in the air at the beach or the chlorine in a pool can really damage your hair strands.
If pool time is on your agenda, you would know how damaging chlorine is. If you have coloured hair, the chemicals in your hair dye could react with the chlorine and leave your hair looking brassy or give you a severe reaction. L'Oreal Professionnel Dream Team member and Artistic Hair Director Loic Chapoix says, "The most important thing to do is to protect your hair before you go to the pool or beach with oil. It will stop the chlorine or salt to penetrate into your hair. Also, you can keep your hair in a braid to avoid tangles." He recommends Mythic Oil from L'Oreal Professionnel, as it is light and will moisturize your hair. Since the hair shaft is porous, it will absorb the oil instead of the chlorine. Always ensure that you rinse your hair post the pool or beach to get rid of the salt or chlorine.
Applying a few drops of argan oil will also deep condition your hair and leave you with silky strands. After a hair wash, dab your hair with an old t-shirt instead of a towel (towels tend to create more friction and hence frizz) and apply a serum immediately and air dry. Another trick that actually works is applies a curl activator to create beachy waves instead.
