Tips for Keeping Hair Healthy in Hot Weather

1 min read

Moisturise the ends

Heat and sun pull moisture from hair quickly, so using a conditioner or hydrating serum regularly helps reduce dryness and split ends.

Cut back on heat tools

The less you use a straightener and blow-dryer in hot weather, the better for your hair. If you must use them, do not forget a heat-protection spray.

Styles that protect the ends

Simple styles such as a braid or a bun reduce the friction of your hair against air and sun throughout the day and help protect the ends from splitting.

Cover your hair during long sun exposure

A hat or light scarf protects the scalp and hair from direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.

Drink enough water

Hair health is linked to your overall health, and drinking enough water helps keep both your body and hair hydrated.

These are general tips. For persistent skin or hair concerns, please see a dermatologist.
