Summer Hair and Scalp Challenges: Tips for Protection and Care
Summer weather brings a host of challenges for hair and scalp health, including sunburn, frizz, limpness, and chlorine damage. According to experts cited by Flow Space, UV radiation can weaken hair by breaking down keratin proteins, while high humidity and heat exacerbate issues like frizz and oil buildup. Chlorine exposure from pools further strips hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Dermatologist Dr. Pooja Sodha and trichologist Penny James recommend adjusting hair care routines during the summer to address these issues. This includes using hydrating masks, washing hair more frequently, and protecting it from UV rays with hats or SPF sprays. Additionally, avoiding heat styling tools and staying hydrated are key steps to maintaining healthy hair during the hot months.
