5 Natural Tips to Protect Your Hair During Summer

Tip #1. Protect your hair from the sun's rays

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in hair health. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to hair loss and dull hair. When our bodies lack vitamin D, hair follicles weaken, which can reduce hair regrowth.

A recent study also found that a lack of vitamin D can lead to increased sebum production on the scalp. This creates a vicious cycle because the oilier our hair gets, the more we tend to wash it. However, over-washing can dry out the hair, making it more brittle and prone to falling out.

How can we really protect our hair ?

• Wear a hat! Simple but effective.
• Use an all-natural protective oil such as sesame oil.

Tip #2. Rinse with spring water after swimming

After swimming in the sea or pool, rinse your hair with spring water or filtered water to remove salt or chlorine. These elements can dry out your hair and make it brittle. Rinsing with clean water will help preserve your hair’s natural moisture.

Tip #3. Use apple cider vinegar to remove residue

Hair products, seawater, and chlorine can leave residue on your hair. To eliminate it naturally, mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water. After your usual shampoo, use this mixture as a final rinse. Apple cider vinegar will help remove residue and rebalance the pH of your hair.

Tip #4. Avoid tight hairstyles

During the summer, opt for relaxed hairstyles and avoid tight styles that can cause tension and breakage. Let your hair flow freely, or go for loose braids or low buns to protect your hair while still looking stylish. This will also allow your hair to breathe and enjoy the fresh air.

Tip #5. Balanced diet for healthy hair

Remember that the health of your hair also depends on your diet. During the summer, choose a diet rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, omega-3 fatty acids, and proteins. Include foods like green vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, oily fish, and eggs to nourish your hair from the inside out.

Bonus: During the summer, hair certainly grows, and we must not forget that after summer comes autumn. With leaf fall comes hair loss.

Remember that your hair deserves special attention throughout the year, especially during periods of seasonal change. Prevent hair loss by regularly incorporating oil baths into your routine, and trust the ROOTS Growth Booster duo for optimal results.
