Dos

Prioritize Hydration 

Ensure your hair stays hydrated by increasing your water intake and incorporating hydrating hair products made of natural ingredients such as henna and turmeric into your routine. Opt for shampoos and conditioners enriched with moisturizing ingredients to combat dryness and prevent breakage. Henna-infused shampoo and conditioner that are sulfate and paraben-free, are perfect choices for maintaining moisture balance and overall hair health.

Invest in UV protection.

Shield your strands from the damaging effects of UV rays. Alternatively, don a stylish hat or scarf to provide additional protection against sun exposure, preserving your hair's color and vitality. Henna-infused hair serum offers an excellent layer of protection against UV rays.

Embrace deep conditioning.

Treat your hair with a weekly deep conditioning treatment to replenish moisture and repair any damage caused by the summer elements. Look for nourishing masks or treatments containing ingredients like argan oil, keratin, or henna to restore strength and shine to your locks. A henna-infused deep conditioning hair mask, packed with henna extract, aloe vera, grape seed oil, argan oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, collagen, and provitamin B5, is ideal for restoring your hair's vitality.

Use Henna-Infused Hair Oil 

Incorporate henna-infused hair oil into your three times a week. These oils are infused with nourishing ingredients like Jojoba Oil, Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Tea Tree Oil, Basil Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, and henna extract, addressing concerns such as dryness, breakage, thinning, and dullness. They provide intense hydration and protection against environmental stressors.

Minimize heat styling.

Reduce reliance on heat styling tools during the summer to prevent further damage and dryness. Appreciate the natural texture of your hair and, whenever possible, let it air dry. If heat styling is unavoidable, use a heat protectant spray to minimize damage.

Don'ts

Over-wash your hair.

Resist the temptation to over-wash your hair, as frequent washing can strip away its natural oils, leading to dryness and breakage. Limit washing to 2-3 times  and use a henna shampoo that is sulfate, paraben, and silicone-free helps maximize hair strength, enhances shine, and maintains the scalp’s natural oils without stripping away moisture

Skip Conditioning

Never skip conditioning, especially during the summer months when your hair is more prone to dryness and damage. Use a lightweight, hydrating conditioner to nourish your locks without weighing them down, ensuring they remain soft and manageable. Use a henna conditioner for its natural benefits, which not only hydrates but also enhances hair strength and shine.

Neglect pre-swim care.

Before taking a dip in the pool or ocean, dampen your hair with fresh water or add a henna oil that adds a protective barrier that helps to minimize the absorption of chlorine or saltwater, reducing potential damage and dryness. Post-swim, rinse your hair thoroughly to remove any residue.

Forget beach protection.

Don't forget to protect your hair when spending time at the beach. Wear a hat or apply a leave-in conditioner to shield your strands from sun exposure, salt water, and wind damage, helping to preserve their health and vibrancy.

Brush wet hair

Avoid brushing or combing wet hair, as it is more prone to breakage and damage. Instead, gently towel dry or use a wide-tooth comb to detangle wet hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to prevent unnecessary stress on your strands.

 

Enjoy the sun, surf, and sand with confidence, knowing your hair is protected and well-maintained. By following these dos and don'ts and incorporating henna-infused products into your summer hair care routine, you can keep your locks looking vibrant, healthy, and beautiful all season long. Embrace the natural benefits of henna and let your hair shine!
