Tips to Recover Your Hair from Summer Damage

Summer time brings thoughts of warm nights, endless days at the beach, and a boast-worthy tan. But, not all is peachy-keen following a glorious summer, and that's damaged hair! With actions come some consequences and after several sandy trips to the beach and splashes in the pool, your hair may be suffering the dreadful consequences of too much sun. Luckily, being beach-goers ourselves, IHRS knows a thing a two about combating sun damaged hair. Therefore, we've gathered some tips to help you in your hair’s recovery. Let’s dive in, shall we?

1. Feel and Analyze Your Hair Strands
Start by running your fingers through your hair. There are three main areas you should check: the roots, the middle of the hair, and the ends. Not all hairs react the same way to sea water, chlorine, and wind. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to inspect your strands to prevent harsh damage.

2. Give It a Good Wash 
It’s important that after the inspection you give your hair a good wash. It's recommended to wash with shampoo every other day (depending on your hair type) to remove any chemical build-up from the pool's chlorine, or salt water. Remember to condition after!

3. Noooourish
After a thorough wash, it's time to nourish your precious locks. Summer damaged hair isn’t going to repair itself, so it needs your help to overcome the harsh elements. Put a hair mask on and rock it! Lather on your hair mask when you first step into the shower, leave it on for a few minutes allowing the mask to penetrate the hair, and rinse. Another great option is coconut oil or rosemary oil. They’re both natural and nourishing!

4. Be Careful When Untangling 
Post-shower is the best time to brush the hair and get rid of knots, right? WRONG! When the hair is wet, it is at its most fragile state and can lead to breakage of the strands. It's a good idea to spray the hair with a leave in conditioner and gently brush through the hair with a wide toothed comb.

5. Use a Protection Spray 
Even after summer, we can't escape the sun's damaging UVA and UVB rays. Remember to use a thermal spray right after your shower before drying your hair. Opt for a spray that not only will protect your hair from hot styling tools like a blow dryer or a flat iron, but also from these rays.

6. Make That Appointment Regularly
Some hair damage is inevitable, and unavoidable even if you follow these preventative tips strictly. So, make an appointment with a professional. Never neglect split ends for too long....They only get worse! A fresh cut (or trim) will rejuvenate your ends and keep your hair healthy.
