Transform Your Hair for Summer's Sizzle: Insider Tips Unveiled
Summer Hair SOS: Dyson's Guide to Keeping Your Locks Lush and Damage-Free!
Summer may bring sandy beaches, swimsuits, and ice-cold cocktails, but it can also wreak havoc on your hair. Sun, sea, and sweat can lead to frizz, dryness, and sun damage. To ensure your strands stay fabulous all season long, take note of Dyson's top haircare and styling tips for a perfect summer 'do.
- Squeeze out the Moisture
Excessive heat can disrupt the moisture balance of your hair, causing it to become more porous and prone to water loss. Choose tools with intelligent heat control that prevent extreme heat damage and keep your hair happy.
- Treat Your Scalp Right
A tender scalp is essential! With sun exposure, sweat, and product buildup in high gear, your scalp needs some extra love. A weekly gentle scrub followed by a cooling serum will soothe and reset your scalp. For the ultimate in scalp protection, seek out a hair dryer with a Scalp Protect mode, which intelligently reduces heat as it approaches your head.
- Style Smarter, Not Harder
Heat styling tools can wreak havoc on your locks. Opt for intelligent heat control tools like the Dyson Airwrap i.d. multi-styler and dryer and the Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer that prioritize hair integrity. When styling daily, set tools to the lowest heat possible to retain moisture and avoid breakage.
- Shield Your Hair from UV Rays
Your hair's worst enemies during summer? Sun, salt water, and chlorine! Before heading out, spritz on a hair UV protectant spray, and rinse your hair with fresh water before and after swimming to keep your tresses looking and feeling their best.
- Embrace Regular Trims
Sun exposure often means more split ends. Opt for light trimming every 6 to 8 weeks to promote healthier, smoother hair that fights frizz and reduces the risk of breakage.
- Towel Dry with Care
Wet hair is the most fragile. Avoid rough towel drying your hair— rude to your strands and more prone to breakage. Instead, gently blot or squeeze out the moisture with a soft towel. For a truly lazy-day regimen, seek out wet-to-dry styling tools, which use controlled airflow to dry and style simultaneously, saving time and reducing damage.
Summer Hair Solutions
- Select the Right Styling Tools
Understanding your hair type makes it easier to select the perfect styling tools and treatments for your dream style. Dyson tips for styling fine hair (silky, lightweight) versus coarse hair (per workman's denim) help you choose tools that protect bonds and style effectively—minimizing damage.
- Buh-Bye to Frizz
Humidity got you down? Smooth on a lightweight serum or frizz-control spray on damp hair, then give your locks a cool blast from your dryer. Amp up your antifrizz arsenal with Dyson's Coanda smoothing Dryer for sleek styles without putting your strands through the ringer.
- Quick Fixes for on-the-Go Styling
Strings attached? For busy days that call for a fresh touch-up, use a dry shampoo to revive your roots and smooth locks with a round brush attachment. Tie up your strands in a loose low bun or claspy twist for instant polish and minimal effort.
- Voluminous Hair that Lasts
Instead of flat, lifeless hair, work a little volume magic. Apply a root-lifting spray or foam before blow-drying and turn your head upside down as you dry for instant lift. Build body from the roots with a round volumizing brush—a must-have accessory for a full-bodied, long-lasting style.
- Soft Waves, No Salt Spray Required
Ditch the crunchy surf spray look in favor of a soft texture cream or curl enhancer for those effortlessly undone waves. Try braiding your hair while damp and letting it air dry for a subtle, beachy vibe.
- Sleek Styles sans Serum
Sleek buns, ponytails, and chignons are perfect for warm weather, but who wants greasy hair? To style your hair more gently, avoid heavy gels, and instead opt for a soft smoothing brush and silk scrunchies or claspy clips. Your hair will thank you!
