Summer is a season full of sun, water and adventures. Although it is a time when we enjoy vacations and outdoor activities, our hair can suffer during this period. Sweat, salt water, chlorine from swimming pools and the sun's rays can have a negative effect on hair. So let's take a look together at what can help us keep our hair healthy during the summer - proper hair washing.
How often should you wash your hair in the summer?
How often you wash your hair depends on several factors, such as hair type and lifestyle. In the summer, when we sweat more and our hair is exposed to the sun and water, it may be necessary to wash our hair more often. In general, the following recommendation applies:
- Normal hair : If you have a normal hair type, you only need to wash it 2-3 times a week. This will keep your hair clean without drying it unnecessarily.
- Oily hair : If you have hair that gets oily quickly, you can wash it every other day. By using a light shampoo like Freylish Hair Growth Shampoo, you will remove excess oil while protecting your scalp.
- Dry hair : If you have dry hair, wash it less often, ideally 1-2 times a week. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that will provide your hair with the necessary hydration and nutrition.
Washing your hair with the right frequency is key to maintaining healthy and beautiful hair. Washing too often can strip the natural oils from your hair and scalp, leading to dryness and damage. Conversely, washing too infrequently can cause oil, dirt and product to build up, which can lead to an irritated scalp and hair that looks lifeless.
Tips for washing hair in summer
- Use light shampoos : In summer, it is important to use light shampoos that clean the hair and scalp without weighing them down unnecessarily.
- Moisturize and protect your hair : After washing your hair, use a moisturizing conditioner or mask that will provide your hair with the necessary hydration and protection from the drying sun and wind. Treat yourself to a deep moisturizing mask once a week, which regenerates and strengthens hair.
- Avoid hot water : Washing your hair with hot water can dry it out. It is better to use lukewarm water, which is gentler on the hair and scalp.
- Do not overdo it with products : When washing your hair, use only the necessary amount of shampoo and conditioner. Too many products can lead to them being layered on the hair and scalp, which can cause it to weigh down and lose volume.
- Rinse your hair thoroughly : Make sure you rinse all products thoroughly from your hair. Residues from shampoo or conditioner can irritate the scalp and weigh down the hair.
