Summer is the best season for enjoying the sun, sea, and sand. As early as now, you may already be planning your beach trips and out-of-town escapades with your friends and family.

You can have beautiful summer hair by following these easy hair care tips.
Summer Hair Care Tips for Filipinas
1. Minimize heat-styling.
Since dry and frizzy hair is common in the summer, heat-styling can dry out your strands even more. Use your straightening iron or barrel curlers less frequently to help prevent damaged hair. You might want to try no-heat hair hacks, like using socks to curl your hair or creating a tousled ‘do using several bobby pins.
2. Don’t swim with dry hair.
We know you’re excited to jump into the pool or swim in the sea, but you might want to take a step back. Chlorine in the pool can damage your hair, and so does saltwater. As your hair is porous when dry, it will absorb chlorine and saltwater, causing dry and rough-looking strands. Avoid this by rinsing your hair with tap water first before swimming.
3. Don’t overwash your hair.
Yes, the summer heat can be intense and frequent showers are tempting. But too much washing will strip off your hair’s natural oils and lead to dry hair. With the punishing summer heat, it’s hard to skip a hair wash, so skip shampooing on some days instead. Assign days when you will just wash your hair with a light conditioner that can keep your hair moisturized sans the greasy feel.
Editor’s tip: Got thin and limp hair? Keep it bouncy by using Cream Silk Hydra Fresh Fresh and Bouncy Light Conditioner. Its combination of water and Hydracollagen Technology is easily absorbed by your hair to quench it and nourish it from within. It helps keep your hair hydrated without weighing it down.
4. Protect your hair from the sun.
Whenever you’re out in the sun, make sure to protect your hair from harmful UV rays. Wear a hat or bandana to shield your summer hair from the sun. These accessories can also help you style your hair quickly on a bad hair day.
5. Get regular trims.
Have you ever noticed that when you start to grow your hair long, the tips start to split? That is because the longer your hair grows, the lesser amount of vitamins reaches the tips which result in split ends. Keep your strands healthy by scheduling regular trims every three to six weeks, even when you’re planning to keep your hair long.
6. Use a conditioner even if you have oily hair.
Conditioners are your hair’s best friend. They help bring back the moisture that has been stripped off when you shampoo your hair. Skipping your conditioner is a mistake when you have oily hair, as this will just cause your scalp to produce even more oil to make up for the lost moisture. If you’re worried about the greasy feeling, there are light conditioners out there that work great on oily hair.

With these simple tips, you’ll have great summer hair while enjoying the sun, sand, and sea at the same time. Whatever your plans are for the summer, don’t forget to keep your hair hydrated with Cream Silk Hydra Fresh Light Conditioners to keep them nourished all season.
