Who doesn’t love the sun, the beach, the sand, and the fun?
If you are one of those who love summer, then you know how important it is to take care of your hair because it can end up suffering a lot from the consequences. And yes, although it is a time to enjoy, relax and live new experiences, we also have to make sure that our hair is well cared for throughout the process.
We know that you should prepare by buying everything you need for your summer trip: that dream outfit, your sunglasses, sunscreen, and much more, but are you also thinking about your hair?
And if you are one of those who live in a country where it is summer all year round, then you also have to remember how important it is to take care of your hair when it is hot or humid. So today we are going to leave you some recommendations so that you can enjoy your vacation or day by day, but taking care of your hair in the process.
What about my hair in the summer?
In general, at this time of year, we take advantage of going to the beach, the swimming pool, or taking a long walk in the sun. And if you live with this climate all year round, then it is your daily routine. What happens with all this is that after a few weeks our hair goes from being shiny and manageable to feeling too dry.
In fact, specialists in the field assure that our hair can end up cooking due to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. And although the effect may be more noticeable in colored hair, those that are not colored are also affected by drying out.
How to take care of my hair during the summer?
Before we start, we want to remind you that, for these slightly more extreme climates, as well as when having contact with chlorine or the beach, it is very important that you have a care routine in mind. In these cases, you should not leave the situation to chance.
Now, we are going to show you what you can do to take care of your hair at this time:
1. Start by cutting your hair
A good way to start your vacation or to keep your hair in this climate is to get a haircut that eliminates those parts of your hair that are not so healthy. The idea is to “clean” it as much as you can so that it is completely healthy before being exposed to all these temperatures and conditions (such as saltwater, chlorine, sun, sand).
If you live in an eternal summer, then remember to cut your hair every time you feel you need it. That way, it’ll be healthier.
2. Say yes to hats
In addition to looking incredibly good and stylish, a hat will keep your hair protected from damage from the direct rays of the sun. You can choose your favorite accessories like a scarf, cap or hat. The important thing is that it remains very protected.
3. Use a hair mask
Remember this: hair masks are always a must. These friends condition our hair in a more powerful way, which makes it stay hydrated and with great force. Perfect for these summer climates, right?
At Maka we have a moisturizing and repairing mask that is perfect for dry and damaged hair.
4. Choose a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
If you don’t want to have dry and damaged hair, then you have to moisturize it as much as you can. For that, before your trip or for the day to day, choose a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that can maintain hydration and repair the damage it suffers.

5. Avoid heat in your hair as much as possible
At least once or twice a week let your hair rest from the heat. We know that this decision is completely personal, so it is only a recommendation. And if you want to use heat on your hair when drying, straightening, or curling it, make sure to always use a thermal protector (friendly reminder: at Maka we have an AMAZING pair).
Now you and your hair are ready to enjoy and relax.
