During the summer, the sun’s rays, humidity, and sweat affect hair strands. However, there are 10 ways to protect your hair and scalp when the temperature rises. 
Apply Less Cosmetics
On hot days, do not use hair treatments because the chemicals will damage your hair. If you need to dye your hair, apply the product two months in advance.
Use Shampoo Occasionally
If you wash your hair with shampoo every day, your hair and scalp will lose moisture. To avoid unnecessary damage, cleanse your scalp once a week with a mild shampoo.
Swimming Procedures
Do not shampoo your hair before you go swimming because the water will pull the protective oils out of the follicles. After you get out of the pool, wash your hair thoroughly in the shower. To remove the chlorine, cleanse your strands and scalp with a product that has ethylene acid.
Avoid High Heat Sources
Any additional heat could severely damage your hair during the summer, so avoiding using your curlers, blow dryer, and styling iron.
Trim Your Hair
When the temperature climbs outdoors, the tip of your strands will become brittle. Instead of cutting your hair extremely short, shorten the strands by trimming the ends.
Use Sun Protection Products
A simple scarf can protect your hair from the sun’s intense rays. However, if a scarf does not blend with your sense of style, use a leave-in conditioner instead.
Manage Fizz
By wrapping your hair, frizz will not be an issue on a hot day. Knots can also keep your hair frizz-free.
Dry Wash
If you have oily hair, use a dry shampoo instead of a traditional shampoo. A dry cleansing product will protect your strands throughout the summer.
Use Effective Hair Products
Hair products that moisturize and hydrate produce great results on hot days. Do not apply any products that have formaldehyde because the chemical will dry your hair.
Co-Washing
To co-wash your hair, rub a replenishing conditioner on your scalp for two minutes and remove it with clean water. During the summer, a good conditioner can provide protection for three to four days.
