Healthy Life

Spending summer submerged in a pool, lounging on the beach, and splashing in the sea is all well and good until you take a hard look at your hair when the holidays are over. But the sun, salty sea, chlorine, and, of course, the occasional cocktails can mean our hair takes a bashing. Let’s dive into how you can revive your hair post-sun and make it look its best again!

Why Does Summer Wreak Havoc on Your Hair?

1. Chlorine: When you submerge your hair in chlorinated water, the hair shaft absorbs the chemical, which then strips the hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and stripped. Chlorine is a colourist’s nemesis due to its ability to tinge the tone of hair’s colour; blonde hair can take on a green tinge while darker hair can become dull and lifeless.

2. UV Exposure: UV exposure can break down hair proteins, creating free radicals. These cause hair to appear dull and leave it dry and brittle.

3. Saltwater: The salt in seawater can dehydrate hair, making it dry, frizzy, and prone to breakage.

Quick Tips for Post-Sun Hair Revival

1. Cover Up

Physically covering your hair with a hat or headscarf can protect both your hair and scalp from the sun. This simple step can prevent UV damage and reduce exposure to harsh elements.

2. Rinse Immediately

After swimming in the pool or sea, rinse your hair with fresh water as soon as possible to remove chlorine and salt. This prevents these elements from drying out your hair further.

3. Use a Leave-In Conditioner

A leave-in conditioner is your best friend to avoid drying out and to keep your hair tangle-free. Apply it before you head out to the beach or pool for added protection.

4. Detangle Gently with Your Manta

When your hair is wet and vulnerable, detangle it gently with your Manta hairbrush. The Manta brush is designed to flex and glide through hair without causing breakage, making it perfect for delicate post-sun strands.

5. Deep Condition Regularly

After a day in the sun, treat your hair to a deep conditioning mask. Massage it in using your Manta Pulse for a real treat for dehydrated scalp and strands. The Manta Pulse’s gentle vibrations help the mask penetrate deeper, providing maximum hydration and nourishment.
