Summer Hair Care: Dull and Fried Hair

In the heat of the summer, you could find yourself spending most of your time in the pool or ocean to cool off from the heat. And while it is a great way to cool off in the summer, it does damage to your hair over time. The chlorine from the pool can draw out moisture from your hair while the salt water from the ocean can roughen up the hair cuticles. If you constantly spend most of the summer swimming in the pool or the ocean, it will only be a matter of time until your hair strands get fried and look extremely dull. This edition of summer hair care is dedicated to helping you restore shine and vitality in fried hair.

So, how do you fix dull and dried hair? Try these summer hair care tips:

• The first and most essential step to restoring dull and fried hair is to hydrate it from within. It is therefore important to switch to a hydrating conditioner. Getting enough moisture into your strands is a great way to reverse the signs of dryness that is causing it to lose shine.
• Clarify your hair. A clarifying shampoo is recommended for use on those with dry and fried hair. Product buildup can cause lesser light to reflect on the hair resulting in lack of shine. By fighting product buildup, you can also be on your way to having increased vitality on your hair.

• If aside from being dull and fried your hair is also extremely frizzy, you can add a hair mask to your hair care regimen. This is a fast and efficient method to bring back hydration to your strans and saturate it with much needed moisture.

• When all else fails, use a deep treatment mask that is designed to fight signs of dullness and frying on your hair. For that you can try Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Mask or Babliss Argan Oil Hydrating Mask.
