Summer is in full swing! Hot sunny days call for cool dips in the swimming pool, wearing cute dresses, enjoying icy lemonade and summer fruits. However, summer heat can bring a few challenges for your hair. Finding the right hair care routine for you can be difficult but once you get it right, it usually stays. Here is a breakdown of how you can find the perfect summer hair care routine for yourself.
Understand Your Hair
Your individual routine depends on various factors. Your hair type plays a big role. Whether your hair is fine, thick or coarse, whether it is straight, wavy, curly or kinky. Straighter hair, for example, usually gets greasy faster than curly hair due to oil speedily making its way down the hair shaft. Hair which has been treated with dye, bleach or chemicals requires extra care. People with treated hair are advised not to wash their hair daily in order to prevent premature color fading and dryness. Bleached hair may also require some additional nourishment in the form of conditioner or hair mask.
Basic Hair Care Steps That Everyone Can Benefit From
Everyone is well aware of the basic hair care steps of cleansing, conditioning, and detangling our hair. However, at times, we tend to overlook heat related damage to our hair, be it from heat styling or exposure to the sun. Always protect your tresses from heat styling by applying a heat protectant. We also recommend wearing a hat or a scarf to protect your scalp from the harsh rays of the sun during the summer months.
Besides these basic hair care steps you might need some external treatments from time to time to further maintain the health of your hair.
Revitalize & Rehydrate Your Hair
In the summer heat, one might face a variety of issues ranging from dryness, flakiness to excessive oiliness. There are various treatments that are provided by us at Beaut Salon for such special needs.

An oily scalp can lead to uncomfortable itching, dandruff, and your scalp can get prone to infections and hair fall as well. L’Oréal Professionnel Scalp Balancing treatment helps to cut the excess oil without stripping off the natural oil needed to keep your scalp healthy and hair lustrous. Cleansing your hair with a shampoo may not be enough to clean the scalp all the way. This treatment is especially beneficial during summer months as it reduces excessive oil production thereby reducing potential irritation and dandruff caused by excess oil. This treatment helps purify, regulate and balance lipids to keep the scalp hydrated while strengthening hair follicles. Overall, the treatment provides an ideal pH for the scalp which in turn provides smooth, strong strands.
Hair spa treatment is a highly effective solution for a number of hair related troubles including hair loss, thinning hair, hair breakage, dry, dull or rough hair.
