Must-Have Summer Hair Care Tips

Why Summer Hair Care Is Essential

The Science Behind Summer Hair Damage

Increased UV exposure, saltwater, and chlorine from pools can:

Break down hair proteins (keratin)
Fade hair color faster
Dry out the scalp and cause itchiness
Make hair more porous and prone to breakage

The Dubai Factor

Living in Dubai adds another layer of intensity. The average summer temperature can soar past 45°C, with humidity levels that wreak havoc on both oily and dry hair types.

Table: Common Summer Hair Problems vs. Causes

Problem	Cause
Dry and brittle strands	Sun exposure, dry winds
Faded hair color	UV radiation
Frizzy hair	Humidity
Split ends	Overwashing, heat styling
Scalp irritation	Sweat and dust buildup

Everyday Summer Hair Care Routine

1. Gentle Washing with Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Summer calls for frequent washing due to sweat and oil buildup. However, avoid over-stripping natural oils by using a sulfate-free shampoo.

Recommended Frequency: 2-3 times a week (for normal to dry hair); every other day (for oily scalp)

2. Deep Conditioning Masks

Weekly deep conditioning helps restore lost moisture and nutrients.

DIY Option: Coconut oil + honey mask

Salon Option: Book a hydrating hair spa at Maison Amelie Beauty Salon in Dubai for intensive repair.

3. Use a Leave-In Conditioner or Serum

These products help form a protective barrier against humidity and UV rays.

Pro Tip: Look for products with UV filters.

4. Avoid Daily Heat Styling

Let your hair air-dry more often. If heat styling is unavoidable, always use a heat protectant spray.

5. Rinse Hair After Swimming

Chlorine and saltwater are harsh on hair. Always rinse with fresh water and follow up with a hydrating conditioner.
