Depending on which part of the world you are in at the moment, it’s no secret that summer can be brutal! Especially if you are living in a desert climate where one minute in the heat and humidity can easily leave you feeling hot and sticky, only to rush back to your air-conditioned aboard and you immediately start freezing. The said heat and humidity also seem to be the worst enemy of any type of hair (and skin for that matter). With your hair and the heat in mind, we’ve compiled some useful tips on how you can fight the humidity this summer (and all year round) in order to maintain healthy-looking hair.

The high level of humidity causes hair to frizz and can lead to untamable curls for our curly girls (and boys). Additionally, spending time in air-conditioned environments in addition to the sun, sea, and chlorine, can leave your healthy-looking hair brassy, dull, and dry. But how can you keep things under control if you’re damned in the heat and damned in the AC environment? Keep on reading to know how you can manage your hair in a catch 22 situation.

How to Maintain Healthy-looking Hair

Don’t skip the conditioner

Every time before going into any water, run conditioner through the mid-length and ends of your hair in order to seal your cuticles. This will help maintain color and vitality by preventing damage from the sun, sea, and chlorine.

For colored hair …

During your next hair color appointment, choose a rich demi-permanent crème hair color. This is like lip gloss for your hair – it enhances shine, refreshes existing color, eliminates brassiness, adds volume by removing frizz, and has a quick processing time of 15 – 20 mins. Even color virgins should get a gloss as it can add subtle color change whilst not being permanent, which leaves you with healthy-looking hair.

Don’t forget your hair serum

Always carry a miniature hair protection serum in your bag.

Always have a hair consultation

Have a hair consultation with your hairstylist to get a prescription for the right treatments for your hair type by analyzing, diagnosing, and treating your hair.

Choose your shampoo and conditioner carefully

The ones you find on the shelves have loads of nasty paraffin and parabens. Even if they are a bit more expensive, shampoo salons have better ingredients and are concentrated, therefore you only have to use a small amount making a little go a long way!

Make hair mask your best friend

Use a hair mask every 5 washes as this penetrates your hair shaft, whereas the conditioner only goes on the surface layer. Depending on your hair type choose one that penetrates and rebuilds damaged hair.
