Summer is the period in which we are most exposed to the sun, the beach and the swimming pool. But this “combination” of high temperature, high humidity, chlorine and salts isn’t exactly healthy for strands and promotes frizz (those brittle, lifeless strands that seem to ruin any look).
According to specialist Peter Menezes, or ‘hair expert and supporter’ of Authentic Beauty Concept as he prefers to be called, strands become bristly and tangled due to static caused by lack of hydration. At the beach, this can be even more powerful due to high temperatures, increased sun exposure and walks in the natural environment, all of which end up leaving strands dry and prone to the dreaded goosebumps.
“Frizz also increases due to the salt in the seawater, which contributes to dehydration,” says the pro.
The cure to avoid the unwanted effect begins in the bathroom. First, the hair expert recommends using a sulfate-free shampoo that is clear, fragrance-free, and gently cleanses all hair and scalp types. “The product should clean lightly without stripping away the natural moisture.”
The second step also involves the keyword hydration. The more the hair is hydrated and nourished, the less it will be matted in contact with the sea air. “Conditioners and masks also help reduce frizz, and using repair tips can help replenish hydration,” comments Peter.
An interesting question is that many people think that oily hair doesn’t need hydration. But it’s just the opposite. “In this case, frizz can be more evident along the length and ends if it is not hydrated,” says the hair stylist.
A recipe for every hair
Curly
Curly hair also needs special care. Because they are thinner, they can be even frizzier. In this case, the advice is to apply the curl activator on wet strands and remove the moisture with a cotton fabric (it can even be a T-shirt), this will make the curls beautiful. “You can also count on the diffuser to help with drying,” she advises.
smooth
A good frizz-reducing trick for straight hair is to dry it completely.
corrugated
For wavy or unruly hair, the ideal is to have a leave-in, a leave-in product that creates a moisturizing layer. “Bet on removing excess moisture from your hair, apply the product and let it dry naturally,” recommends the professional.
After washing, many reach for hats, caps, and scarves to “hold” their hair and fix frizz. However, Peter says this doesn’t diminish the effect, despite protecting the coloring from the sun. “What can happen is the arrangement of the hair with the use of the accessory, because the strands are more compressed near the scalp in greater contact with the hydrolipidic mantle, which is the combination of sweat and lipids”.
