AS many prepare for a summer holiday of sunbathing and regular dips in the sea, it’s important to take good care of our hair in the blazing heat. Hair care guru and specialist Gina Conway has said that there is a certain routine we should keep to when caring for our hair in the coming months. Going into detail about advice Gina says that drying your hair with a towel is “fine”, but if you friction it - “it can cause a lot of damage”.
But in terms of what is “an absolute no” for our hair, she says using heated hair tools without a heat protector is the “worst thing you can do” to your locks. In an interview with Alt Index , she also declares that she is a fan of dry shampoo - and as we approach summer, she backs using sun cream on your scalp and hair, as well as “giving your hair a break.” Gina continues: “A lot of people go on holiday in the warmer months, so you tend to talk about sun cream on your hair.
I recommend doing this. “And as it’s now cool to have a ‘wet look’ with your hair, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t. You can use hair sunscreen or just normal sunscreen.
Either is fine. “Another thing in the summer is to give your hair a break. Everybody likes a little bit of a beachy wave so take this as a sign to leave your hair alone a bit.
“I would recommend people start using hair oils in the summer more as they try and be a bit more natural with their hair.” Gina also recommends to be careful when it comes to drying your hai.
