The 3 mistakes that make your hair dry in summer (and how to avoid them)

Summer means sunshine, days at the beach, swimming pools, and spending more time outdoors. But for your hair, it is also the season when it is put under the most stress.

Sun exposure, salt water, chlorine, wind, and more frequent washing can disrupt the balance of the hair fibre, leaving hair dry, dull, difficult to detangle, and more prone to breakage.

The good news is that, in most cases, summer itself is not what damages your hair. The real cause is often a few incorrect habits that can easily be changed.

Here are the three most common mistakes that make your hair dry in summer, and how to avoid them.

Mistake no. 1: thinking the sun is good for your hair too

We protect our skin with sunscreen, but we often forget that our hair is also affected by the stress of sun exposure.

The sun, together with salt water, chlorine and pollution, can weaken the hair fibre, contributing to dehydration, loss of elasticity and dullness. If your hair is already treated or naturally dry, these effects may be even more noticeable.

The solution

During the summer, it is important to choose products formulated to protect the hair from external aggressors.

The Insight Professional Antioxidant line was created specifically for this purpose: a targeted routine designed to protect the hair from the sun, chlorine, salt water and free radicals. Its phyto-complex contains organic carrot extract, soy butter and hazelnut oil, ingredients that help nourish and strengthen hair exposed to environmental stress.

For even more complete protection, the Antioxidant Protective Hair Spray is the perfect ally to apply before and during sun exposure.

Mistake no. 2: washing your hair frequently without replenishing moisture

During the summer, we tend to wash our hair more often, especially after swimming in the sea or pool, or after exercising.

Frequent cleansing is absolutely important, but when it is not followed by a nourishing treatment, the hair fibre gradually loses water and lipids, becoming increasingly dry.

The result?

• Hair that feels rough to the touch;
• dry, damaged ends;
• increased frizz;
• less shine.

The solution

After every shampoo, it is important to restore the moisture and nourishment your hair has lost. Choose the Antioxidant Shampoo and Antioxidant Conditioner from the Antioxidant line, and give your hair an extra boost of nourishment with the Nourishing Hair Mask from the Dry Hair line whenever it feels particularly dry or stressed.

The Insight Professional Dry Hair line was specifically developed for dehydrated hair. Thanks to organic oat extract, illipé butter and organic coconut oil, it helps deeply nourish the hair while improving elasticity, softness and manageability without weighing it down.

Using a nourishing mask regularly can make a noticeable difference in just a few weeks.

Mistake no. 3: going on holiday without a dedicated haircare routine

How often do we end up using hotel shampoo or products that are not suitable for our hair, simply to save space in our suitcase?

Suddenly changing your haircare routine at the very time when your hair is most exposed to summer stress often means returning home with hair that feels drier and is more difficult to manage.

The solution

Prepare a beauty case that is simple yet complete.
