Protecting your healthy hair during the hot-weather months may seem like an unnecessary step if you have a solid hair care routine, but increased temperatures pose new challenges for all types of hair. MenSalon encourages all men in the Rochester, MN area to take a few extra steps to protect their locks as temperatures rise. If you enjoy the heat, it’s worth the extra few seconds to ensure your hair will survive the season!
Proper hair care after swimming is important.
Whether you’re taking a dip in a pool, lake, or even the ocean, being sure to wash your hair after a water adventure is an essential part of hair care. Each body of water poses different challenges for healthy hair. Chlorine in pools can lead to discoloration and breakage, while saltwater and lake water can be dirty and drying. Rinsing your hair after swimming is always a good idea, but ideally, a full cleanse will clean out anything that might cause trouble for your hair down the line.
Wearing a hat to protect your scalp is beneficial.
Scalp care is a key part of hair care, and when you’re spending a lot of time in the sun, you can end up with a pretty brutal scalp burn if you’re not careful. Healthy hair needs a healthy scalp, so be careful to cover your head if you’ll be getting a lot of direct sunlight for more than a few minutes at a time. Sunburns can happen fast and can take days to heal, so make sun protection a priority whenever you’re out and about.
When it comes to hot weather, consider a shorter style of haircut.
If you’re someone who spends a lot of time in the great outdoors in the heat, a trim or shorter cut might be in order. Keeping your hair shorter in the summer, or in high temperatures in general, makes protection, cleansing, and upkeep simpler. But if you’re committed to a longer ‘do’, the hair care professionals at MenSalon can help you make a plan to keep it protected in the heat.
