Tips to keep your hair healthy in the summer!

Hello dear ones, ready to start another year? It is coming the season of vacations, heat, sun, beach, swimming pool ... who does not like this phase very much are our hair that suffer with the aggressions. It is not easy to go through summer with always beautiful and hydrated hair. Beach, pool, sun and lots of wind leave hair brittle and dry - so you have to be especially careful with them.

• Salt opens the cuticle of the strands, leaving them hardened and dull. This is because it removes all the water present in the hair. The result is cruel: damaged hair with frizz and a super volume.
• Sand in contact with salt and wind makes the locks get even more frizz.
• Chlorine is a poison to blondes. In addition to leaving the hair greenish, it dries out and generates double ends.
