Ask Ava-Ann: Summer Hair Care Tips

Hey there, gorgeous!

Welcome back to another edition of Ask Ava-Ann, where I tackle your burning questions about all things skincare and beauty. Today, we're diving into a topic that many of us struggle with during the summer months: hair care!

Our question today comes from Karen, who wrote in asking for tips on how to keep her hair from looking like straw this summer. The summer sun and heat can wreak havoc on our locks, leaving them dry, brittle, and frizzy. But don't worry, I've got some tried-and-true tips to help you keep your hair looking fabulous all season long.

1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate 💧

Just like our skin, our hair needs plenty of moisture to stay healthy and shiny. Invest in a good quality hydrating shampoo and conditioner to keep your locks moisturized and happy. Look for products with ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, and argan oil to give your hair the hydration it craves.

2. Protect your strands from the sun ☀️

Just like we slather on sunscreen to protect our skin, our hair needs protection from the sun too! Wear a hat or use a UV-protectant spray to shield your strands from harmful UV rays. This will help prevent damage and keep your hair looking luscious all summer long.

3. Say goodbye to hot tools 🔥

Put down the flat iron and step away from the blow dryer! Heat styling can further dry out your hair and cause damage, especially in the summer when our locks are already feeling the heat. Embrace your natural texture and give your hair a break from styling tools. If you must use heat, be sure to use a heat protectant spray beforehand to minimize damage.

4. Treat your hair 🥑

Pamper your locks with a weekly deep conditioning treatment to keep them soft, smooth, and hydrated. You can use a store-bought hair mask or whip up a DIY treatment using ingredients like avocado, honey, and olive oil.

5. Stay hydrated from the inside out 🥤

Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your hair (and skin) hydrated from the inside out. Hydration is key to healthy, happy hair, so be sure to sip on that H2O all summer long.

I hope these tips help you keep your hair looking fabulous this summer, Karen, and to all my beauties out there battling the summer hair woes. Remember, healthy hair is happy hair, so give your locks the love they deserve and rock that summer 'do with confidence!
