6 tips to protect your hair this summer

-
Oil massage
Massaging hair with oil maintains moisture within the scalp and prevents dandruff. Use products that are rich in almond or coconut oils from brands like Vatika.
-
Hair masks
Dubai-based entrepreneur Myriam Keramane’s hair care brand has a mask that is rich in vegetable protein that penetrates into the cuticle to keep your hair nourished.
-
Avoid heat devices
Every now and again stop using flat-irons and curlers, as they will cause hair breakage. TikTok and Instagram beauty gurus offer a wealth of heatless styling ideas if you’re in a pinch.
-
Leave-in conditioner
Cover hair with leave-in conditioner before swimming. It will prevent hair from absorbing large amounts of chlorine and salt water.
-
Wide-tooth combs
Wide-tooth combs are gentler to use when detangling hair. They cause less breakage and feel great on the scalp so make sure to include one in your luggage this summer.
-
Shield hair
Use a hat when out in the sun to protect hair from ultraviolet radiation. It helps the scalp retain moisture.
