Hair care in summer: Important active ingredients and tips!
Summer brings not only sunny days and warm temperatures, but also special challenges for your hair care routine. Sun, heat, chlorinated water, and seawater can put significant stress on your hair and cause damage. Here are some tips and essential active ingredients you can incorporate into your summer hair care routine to protect and nourish your hair.
1. Hair Protection
When swimming or sunbathing, UV radiation, salt, and chlorinated water affect our hair, which can dry it out and cause hair color to fade. Active ingredients such as CareEster and Jojobaester-Gel can be used in shampoos to make the formula milder and effectively protect the hair from environmental influences. Silblend Aqua creates a smoothing film on the hair, providing incredible suppleness and shine.
2. Moisturizing Care
Summer heat can dry out your hair and scalp, leading to straw-like hair and a lack of suppleness. Moisturizing active ingredients and nourishing oils provide suppleness to the scalp and hair and protect against dehydration. Cationic hyaluronic acid acts like a long-lasting water magnet, nourishing both the scalp and hair equally. Lipoblend Hydrosoft provides extra suppleness, makes hair soft, and adds plenty of shine.
3. Structural Damage
UV radiation and frequent blow-drying and styling can attack the hair's cuticle, leading to dull hair and split ends. Careblend Supreme is the ideal base for conditioners and hair masks, as it nourishes and conditions the hair. Plant-based active ingredients like Hydravena or Sea Lavender attach themselves to damaged areas and even out structural differences in the hair.
4. Scalp Care
Frequent swimming in salt and chlorinated water, as well as subsequent drying or blow-drying, can stress the scalp, which may lead to irritation and dandruff. Squamasoft is a natural, effective active ingredient against scalp dandruff. It also works against itching and is gently replenishing. AloeFerment has a soothing effect and refreshes dry scalps.
TIP:
Swimming in chlorinated water can give bleached or lighter-colored hair an unsightly green tint due to a chemical reaction. Acetylsalicylic acid can provide a remedy. Simply dissolve two aspirin tablets in water and thoroughly dampen your hair with it after washing. Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse out.
