Protect your hair from sunlight with a UV spray

Even simply in view of a walk in which you will expose yourself to the sun, we recommend that you use a product that can preserve the color of your hair and prevent it from becoming dry.
Usually the application must take place on dry hair before (and during, if you are at the sea) to go out. This type of spray also has the power to nourish the hair, strengthening it (in fact, consider that other temperatures and UV rays tend to dry it considerably).
Avoid washing your hair with water that is too hot
If you want to keep the color longer even during the summer, try washing your hair with cold water. There low temperature, in fact, unlike the high one, it is less aggressive and guarantees brightness to the foliage. The heat, in fact, mattifies and dries the hair much more easily
If you just can’t stand the cold in your hair
If you are not one of those people who feel refreshed in the summer under cold water, choose this option for rinsing only. At the end of the wash, direct a nice jet towards the hair in order to close the cuticles. This way, any product you decide to apply will be absorbed much more easily and successfully.
Use a shampoo specially formulated for colored hair
Shampoo for colored hair is a product available everywhere, even in the supermarket, and essential for those who have done the color or the highlights. Its formulation, in fact, is precisely designed to prolong the color after washing, preventing it from fading or, even worse, turning towards other shades in contact with salt water or chlorine.
Limit the use of a hairdryer, straightener and iron as much as possible
If not in summer, when? Take advantage of the opportunity to dry hair naturally, without using the hair dryer and thus avoiding high temperatures, it helps to maintain a healthier hair and consequently also to prevent them from becoming opaque and the color fading.
How to dry your hair naturally
To proceed with natural drying, rub your hair with a towel very gently, so as to avoid lifting and opening the cuticles.
If you need to use the hair dryer, choose medium-low power and try not to use the nozzle, so as to disperse the heat without focusing it too much on the tips.
We also advise you to avoid doing the crease with an iron or a straightener: why don’t you take advantage of it and try to do the beach waves?
Green light for headbands, bandanas, hats and scarves
In addition to protecting your hair from the sun (making it shiny and robust) and even before you from sunstroke, headbands, bandanas, hats and scarves are real fashion accessories. You can combine them with your outfit to make it colorful and fun, but also extremely chic.
