Summer is finally here, and with it comes sunny days at the beach, festivals and lots of outdoor activities. While we enjoy the warm rays and the good weather, our hair can unfortunately work overtime. Sun, salt water and wind can all have a negative effect on hair, leaving it dry and damaged. But don't despair! With the right care, you can keep your summer hair healthy and beautiful. Here are some tips on how to best care for your hair in the summer months.

1. Protect your hair from the sun

Just like your skin, your hair also needs protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. Use a hat or scarf to protect your hair when you are in direct sunlight. There are also hair products with UV protection, which can be a good investment.

2. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner

The summer heat can dry out your hair, so it's important to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Simple Goods offers natural and organic hair products that are gentle on both your hair and the environment. Choose products without harmful chemicals to preserve the hair's natural moisture.

3. Avoid hot styling tools

Summer is the perfect time to embrace your hair's natural texture. Avoid using hair dryers, straighteners and curling irons as much as possible as they can aggravate dryness and damage. Allow your hair to air dry and optionally use a light styling cream to define your natural curls or waves.

4. Rinse hair after swimming

Both chlorine and salt water can be hard on your hair. Therefore, always remember to rinse your hair with clean water after a trip to the pool or sea. This helps remove harmful substances and prevent your hair from becoming dry and brittle.

5. Use a leave-in conditioner

A leave-in conditioner can provide extra moisture and protection to your hair during the day. Apply a small amount to the ends to prevent split ends and keep hair soft and shiny.

6. Give your hair a deeply nourishing mask

Pamper your hair with a deeply nourishing mask once a week that gives your hair the ultimate care and recovery.

7. Drink lots of water

Remember that beauty comes from within. Make sure to drink plenty of water during the summer to keep both your body and hair hydrated. A healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals will also help keep your hair in top shape.
