HAIR CARE TIPS OF THE MONTH:
Q: My hair gets so dry when I go swimming, what can I do?
With frequent swimming in the sea or pool during the summer the salt &/or chlorine really takes a toll on the hair. When you add the ultra violet from the sun into the equation, the hair gets extra dry, brittle and can change color. To reduce this problem, I suggest the following:
- wet your hair with tap water before going to the pool/beach and apply a small amount of conditioner to the mid-length and ends of the hair. This will help reduce some of the harmful effects of the salt or chlorine.
- rinse your hair thoroughly with regular tap water each time you come out of the sea/pool to rinse away the salt or chlorine and reapply a little conditioner as you would reapply sun tan oil.
3. if you do not put your head under the water when you swim, wear a hat to protect your hair from the direct sun light and, if you have long hair, pin it up so the ends do not get wet.
Q: My hair, which is wavy all summer, goes limp in the fall, why?
Again, it's because of the change in humidity. During the summer the hair absorbs moisture from the air and, if it is naturally curly to begin with, will become wavy and have more body (unfortunately, it can also go frizzy and become dull!). When the fall comes, the humidity drops and so less moisture is available causing the hair to go limper. This problem often occurs if your hair is damaged or too dry. I suggest using a conditioner every time you wash your hair and also use a deep conditioning treatment on a regular basis to trap the correct level of moisture in your hair and so give it more shine and body throughout the year.
Q: I wash my hair more frequently during the summer, will this cause my hair to fall out?
No, as long as you use a gentle shampoo and conditioner each time you wash. Frequent washing is healthy for the hair as it keeps both the hair and scalp clean and does not make you lose more hair from the scalp.
