Top 5 Summer Hair Care Tips to Protect Your Hair

Everything you need to know about how to take care of your hair in summer

Summer is all about margaritas, sun dresses, sandy toes and tan lines. To top it off, beach hair is just perfection! On the other hand, let’s not forget that summer also brings with it – harmful UV rays, dryness, frizz, green hues from chlorine and hair colour damage.

From protecting your hair from UV rays to maintaining a clean healthy scalp, we’ve come to your rescue this summer with our top 5 hair care tips plus our go-to products to keep your hair looking fabulous all summer long.

1. UV and Heat Protection

Just as necessary for the skin, sunscreen is essential in protecting your hair from prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays and damaging heat.

RPR MY VITALISER is your best friend this summer. It’s a leave in moisturiser with UV filters that will protect your hair from damage while simultaneously ensuring hair hydration.

If you love to style your hair during the summer months, RPR PROTECT MY HAIR is the best heat protection spray and super reliable to safeguard your hair against thermal damage from heat styling tools and it smells amazing!

2. Cleansing and Chlorine Protection

Effective cleansing is often overlooked but is in fact an important step in your summer hair care. From the chlorine in pools to oil build-up and dirt on your scalp, many factors may get in the way of achieving your best hair days in summer.

If you have blonde hair, the green shades due to excessive chlorine exposure can be alarming. While a good option for significantly lesser chlorine absorption is to rinse your hair before a swim, RPR DE-CHLORINATE MY HAIR will deeply cleanse your hair and scalp from dirt, salt, oil build up, chlorine and other chemicals and allow you to say good-bye to the green tones from your blonde hair.

The cooling effect of cucumber and enchanting smell is just what you need at the end of a hot day under the sun.

3. Frizz Control

Does stepping out on a humid day feel like it makes your hair grow bigger and unruly? Frizzy hair can easily be a hindrance in your perfectly planned summer outing.

But … we have found a solution. To get your rebellious locks in place, we recommend you try RPR FIX MY FRIZZ SMOOTHING SHAMPOO  and CONDITIONER. When it comes to sealing split ends and taming frizz, the collagen and argan oil in this duo will be the magic force to help fight the frizz.

Another fabulous product that will help tame your frizzy locks this summer is SO MAGIC. It’s an excellent lightweight treatment that your hair will love, with 28 benefits (yeah you read it right) including anti-humidity and anti-frizz properties.

In addition, avoid brushing your hair and switch to a wide tooth comb for efficient frizz control. With these tips and products, you’re all set to achieve smoother and shinier hair this summer!

4. Dry Hair and Damage Repair

Getting through several months of summer without dryness and damage to the outermost layer of your hair can be quite a challenge. Keratin proteins and aloe vera are ingredients that are best known to revitalise and re-hydrate your hair from within. RPR REPAIR MY HAIR KERATIN TREATMENT can bring dry, damaged and even coloured hair back to life. This could easily be your best hair care mask for dry hair to restore gloss and vitality into your summer locks.

5. Colour Protection and Treatment

Your luxurious and beautiful coloured hair requires extra care and maintenance in summer because the heat and sun can cause the hair colour to fade and also leave your hair dry and brittle.

An easy solution to this is the RPR EXTEND MY COLOUR SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER. This range is a one stop solution to colour protect your hair.

It is also available in a handy RPR EXTEND MY COLOUR QUAD PACK which includes a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, a smoothing leave in treatment and an untangling or thermal protection spray. What more could one ask for? These products are easy to use and deliver healthy and lustrous hair everyday.

Now you are equipped with the knowledge and tips on how to protect your hair, it’s time to hit the beach and have a fabulous summer!
