Here are ten valuable tips to protect men's hair from summer damage:
1. Keep them closer
Consider getting a shorter haircut for the summer season. Shorter hair is easier to manage and less prone to damage from sun exposure and sweat.
2. Use a wide-brimmed hat
Wear a wide-brimmed hat to shield your hair and scalp from the sun's harmful UV rays. This helps prevent sunburn and protects your hair from burning.
3. Apply moisturizing lotion to your scalp
If you prefer not to wear a hat, apply products specially designed for the scalp to protect it from sunburn.
4. Choose light hair products
During the heat and humidity, opt for lightweight hair styling products like Murray River salt spray or Davroe's Smoothing balm . They offer hold without weighing your hair down or making it greasy.
5. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo
Use a mild cleansing and moisturizing shampoo like Clarify by Davroe to remove sweat, dirt and excess oils from your hair and scalp. Avoid harsh shampoos that can strip natural oils and lead to dryness.
6. Frequent grooming
Condition your hair after washing to replenish moisture and keep it hydrated. Look for a moisturizing product that suits your hair type and use it regularly to maintain softness and ease of styling.
7. Limit heat styling
Minimize the use of heated styling tools such as blow dryers and straighteners as they can cause damage. Let your hair dry naturally whenever possible to reduce heat-related damage.
8. Stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps keep your body and hair hydrated from within. Hydrated hair is less prone to dryness and breakage, especially during sun and heat exposure.
9. Avoid excessive touching or combing
Constantly touching your hair or combing it too often can stimulate oil production and lead to greasiness. Keep your hands out of your hair as much as possible to maintain a clean and fresh look.
10. Protect from chlorine and salt water
Rinse your hair thoroughly with fresh water before swimming to minimize the absorption of chlorine or salt water. After swimming, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any residue.
