About this time of year, our hair is starting to feel the effects of summer. Harsh sun, swimming in chlorinated pools or salty seawater and the heat are all likely starting to damage your hair. How do you repair it, or better yet, prevent the damage in the first place?

Well, short of covering all your hair every time you go out of the house or wearing a bathing cap when you go swimming, it’s hard to keep your hair perfect throughout the summer. The hair care experts at Pavlova Salon in Smithtown, NY offer these tips to keep your hair in tip-top shape.
First, Do No Harm
Wash properly. You’ve been washing your hair all your life and you don’t give it a second thought, right? Well, there’s the right way and the wrong way to shampoo your hair. First of all, make sure your hair is thoroughly wet before you start to add the shampoo. And don’t overuse it. Use only enough to get through all your hair. This shouldn’t amount to more than the size of a quarter in your palm. Rub the shampoo onto both hands before applying and don’t overdo the application. You should only have to lather for about 30 seconds. More than that is overkill. After you wash, rinse your hair with cool water. If you’re washing your hair in the shower, do this right before you get out. This will help to seal in the moisture in your hair (it’s also invigorating for the rest of you).

Go Backwards and Massage. When you get out of the shower, brush your hair from back to front. This will help distribute the natural oils in your hair thoroughly throughout all your hair, whether long or short. You’ll know you’ve brushed well if your scalp starts to tingle. Continue reading →
