Dry ends and discoloration?

• April 28, 2024

One of the most common places to vacation is the beach; but, beyond offering rest and comfort, this space has elements, such as the sun and salt water, that damage your hair severely.

Exposure to all these factors alters the smoothness of the hair cuticle and causes the hair to become porous, dry and more brittle at the tips.

Thus GetQoralHealth, with expert information from the German brand of hair cosmetics, Schwarzkopf , we present you five tips to enjoy your vacation without sacrificing your hair:

1. Beware of UV rays. Ideally, do not expose the hair to the hours of highest solar intensity, which occur between 11:00 and 15:00. Hats and hats are a good option to protect your hair, but if it is not your style you can opt for sunscreen products; since they avoid dryness and maintain the level of hydration of the hair.

2. Authorized bathroom, but with caution. After a bath in the sea, the salt that stays in the hair can damage it. The salt acts as tiny fiery crystals, which concentrate and magnify the sun's rays on the hair. Whenever possible rinse your hair with fresh water after each bath.

3. Prevent your vacation from discolouring the color of your hair. Whether natural or dyed, the sun brightens the color of the hair and wears out its pigments. To protect its shade use special care products for hair painted with integrated UV filter.

These contain proteins and vitamins that return bright colors to hair. In addition, its antioxidant and UV filter assets protect the color pigments from the discoloration caused by the sun.

4. Tips tips? After long sun exposures it is a good idea to cut off the tips of the hair (about 1 cm) to prevent them from getting worse and giving more body to your hair.

5. Make an appropriate hairstyle. The wind on the beach is never absent and the sand will accumulate in your hair, so choose to make your hair like pigtails, runners or braids that do not allow too much waste to accumulate in it.

There are many factors that damage your hair, but that does not mean you can not enjoy a vacation on the beach. Just be careful and take care!
