Having fun in the sun can wreak havoc on your hair, so find out how you can beat the heat and repair your hair during the hot and humid weather! You wouldn't want to have a bad hair day for the rest of your summer vacation, would you?
Summer Hair Remedies - Goodbye Greasies!
You're bound to
look slick in the summer - and not in a good way. You
sweat a lot, and the sweat travels from your face to your hair, leaving you with greasy locks. Fight the urge to wash your hair every day cuz it'll
overactivate the
oil glands. Instead, wash
every other day with a gentle shampoo and only apply conditioner to the ends of your hair.
Summer Hair Remedies - Repair Dry Hair
After a long day at the beach, your hair can look and feel like
straw. To rehab your dry strands, you can
apply kitchen ingredients like bananas,
mangoes, avocados, olive oil, or
mayonnaise for about 30 minutes and rinse it off. It's also a good idea to apply a
leave-in conditioner with
sunscreen - yes, your hair needs sun protection too!
Summer Hair Remedies - Fight the Frizz
Girls with
curls have to give their hair a little
extra TLC to eliminate frizz. Apply a
frizz-taming product like
Garnier Fructis Smoothing Milk while your hair is still
damp, let it air dry and then
finger-comb your curls. But don't style your hair in your steamy bathroom cuz the humidity will make it frizzier. Instead, do it in an
air-conditioned place like your bedroom.
