The best tips to show off radiant hair this summer

For our hair, summer is not so much fun, since it is the time of the year when it gets most damaged. This is because the sun and high temperatures dry it out and weaken it considerably. In addition, the chlorine in the pool and the salt in the sea do not help to improve its condition.

But don't worry, because at akytania we have prepared a list of essential tips that will help you show off radiant and silky hair during the summer season.

The 5 essential tips for this summer

#1. Hydration

Preparing our hair for the start of summer is important, and even more important is getting to summer with perfectly hydrated hair. We recommend using a shampoo without #sulfates or #parabens that doesn't irritate or spoil your hair. The use of conditioner is an essential step, it will not only help us to moisturize the hair, but it will also give us extra shine. As a last step, we recommend using a #hair mask once a week. Leave it on for 30 minutes and you will see how your hair will be super hydrated. Using products with keratin or other moisturizing ingredients will also be perfect.

#2. Forget about bleaching

Because of the extra exposure of our hair to the sun's rays in summer, the appearance of our hair tends to lighten. For this reason, we advise you to avoid bleaching or color treatments that can further damage the hair and multiply the damage during those months. Keep in mind, it will only be for a few months!

#3. Protect your hair

As we have mentioned, with the heat come the dips and the exposure of our hair to the sun. Just as you protect your skin, protect your hair. If you are going to spend many hours in the sun, spray your hair with a sunscreen. Avoid pulling and comb the hair with the help of your conditioner.

#4. The perfect time to cut your hair

After the cold months in which we have used dryers and heat stylers continuously it is advisable, before the start of summer, to cut the ends and cleanse the hair to look perfect for the coming months.

#5. Nourish with vitamins

As we have already seen in previous articles, a good diet is essential for the health of our skin and hair. In other articles we have already seen the benefits of food on the skin. These same benefits also act on our hair, since it is nourished by the vitamins that we provide in our daily diet.

What vitamins does our hair need? Well, here is a brief explanation to start treating our hair from the inside:

Vitamin A: helps achieve shinier and more hydrated hair.

B vitamins: regenerate cells and contribute to growth.

Vitamin C: acts against free radicals, protects our hair and helps to better absorb iron and stop hair loss.

Vitamin D and E: they also contribute to improving the health of our hair by improving blood circulation, in addition to preventing dryness and hair loss problems.
