If the sun activates the circulation of the vessels of the scalp and increases the speed of hair growth, in summer its power and its omnipresence can have harmful effects on their beauty.
Summer alters the beauty capital of our hair!
Yet accustomed to protecting our skin in summer, we are too little wary of the damage caused to our hair and scalp.
Just as harmful as ultraviolet rays, infrared rays induce a drying of the epidermis of the scalp, which, combined with sea salt or chlorine from swimming pools, can cause the appearance of dandruff. They also alter the hydrolipidic film present on the surface of the hair. Unprotected, the scales lift and then break. At the same time as this phenomenon, under the effect of overexposure to the sun's rays, the fatty acids contained in the sebum stagnate under the epidermis, compress the roots and hinder their activity. Less well irrigated, the hair becomes fine, brittle, split ends and falls more quickly.
But what makes the sun the number one enemy of our hair is its involvement in the production of free radicals and in particular in the tissues that surround the hair follicles. Free radicals attack the perifollicular collagen, causing a loss of its flexibility and can accentuate the compression of the hair roots.
Finally, if salt and sand can also irritate the scalp and cause itching, chlorine attacks, like the sun, the hair fiber and natural pigments (melanin) or artificial pigments (from coloring) of the hair.
A few precautions are in order…
To optimally protect the beauty and well-being of your hair and scalp, it is strongly recommended to take a few precautions:
On the beach, apply a hair protector containing UV filters to your hair to preserve the cohesion of the keratin and prevent it from devitalizing.
In case of prolonged exposure, do not hesitate to wear a hat so as to protect your scalp well.
Remember to rinse your hair with fresh water when you get out of the sea water or the swimming pool (if there is no shower nearby, take a bottle of water with you).
In the evening, rinse your hair thoroughly and wash it with an ultra-mild shampoo or conditioner. Twice a week, apply a regenerating mask to your hair: the active ingredients contained in these masks will soften and repair damaged hair.
Before, during and after your vacation, eat a balanced diet and provide your body with all the micronutrients essential for the beauty of your hair thanks to an adequate daily supplement.
