Summer is a time when we all want to soak up some sun and have a little fun. However, too much exposure to the sun's rays can wreak havoc on your hair if you don't take proper care of it. We spoke with the fabulous Kim Kimble, star of LA Hair and celebrity stylist, to get her top five tips for maintaining healthy summer hair. She understands the importance of keeping your locks manageable, stylish, and most importantly, healthy during these warm months.
One of the best things about summer is being able to rock your natural hair. It's low maintenance and a nice break from the constant use of chemical treatments. Plus, with the added stress of heat and sun, it's important to give your hair a break from harsh chemicals. But beware, the sunlight may feel great on your skin, but it can be damaging to your hair. Kimble advises using hair products with SPF or wearing a hat or scarf when you're out and about.
If you plan on taking a dip in the pool or ocean, it's important to take some precautions for your hair. Kimble suggests rinsing your hair both before and after swimming. This will make it harder for chemicals, like chlorine, to latch on. And of course, be sure to wash out any chemicals or salt as soon as possible to avoid further damage. For those who spend a lot of time in the water, investing in a shampoo specifically designed to remove chlorine may be worth it.
Protective styles are a great option for the summer months. Not only do they provide a nice change of pace, but they also protect your hair from the harsh elements. Kimble recommends styles like box braids, buns, or braided updos to keep your hair looking fabulous while also keeping it healthy.
If you start to notice your hair feeling dry and brittle, it's time to give it some extra love and care. Kimble suggests deep conditioning treatments with silk amino acids to help repair any damage. Hot oil treatments are also a great option. And if possible, try to limit the use of heat styling tools and blow-drying, as they can further damage your hair.
In conclusion, while we all love a little fun in the sun, it's important to take care of our hair during these summer months. With these tips from Kim Kimble, you can keep your tresses looking and feeling their best. And who knows, maybe you'll even rock a new protective style like the beautiful box braids or braided updo. Just remember, healthy hair is happy hair!
