Hair can become damaged by many things, from the temperature of your shower to the conditions of your environment. Damaged hair can look and feel brittle, coarse and can often be more difficult to style, which can cause many of us to feel frustrated. If you want to get your hair looking shiny and healthy, you need only follow a few simple steps. Perfectil Hair has put together this guide to help you better understand how to look after your hair on the inside as well as the outside.

The change of season is a process of renewal, and the sun, salt from the sea, chlorine from the swimming pool, heavy metals from fresh water, sweaty scalp in summer, post-holiday stress and the natural renewal of the hair, all-cause our hair to change. There are several steps you can take to make sure you’re looking after your hair this summer. 

TAKE CARE OF YOUR NUTRITION

The health of your hair depends, to a large extent, on your diet and nutrient intake. However, Summer can be a very busy time and we want to live it to the fullest. With so many plans and things going on, it can sometimes be hard to stay on top of our diet, which can end up affecting our hair quality. Perfectil Hair (RRP €31.99) provides you with all the vitamins and nutrients you need to give your hair the special attention it deserves. With 28 micronutrients, each Perfectil Hair capsule contains biotin, selenium & zinc, which all contribute to the maintenance of normal hair, copper, to help normal hair pigmentation, and vitamin C to protect the hair fibre against external aggressions. 

If you find it hard to swallow tablets, not to worry, Perfectil Hair Crush Gummies (RRP €27.99) are the perfect solution. Perfectil Hair Crush Gummies contain a specialist formula developed to provide support for your hair from the inside out and have been designed to complement your daily beauty routine. Thanks to the triple active formula that also provides support for your skin and nails. 

INTRODUCE SCALP MASSAGES INTO YOUR ROUTINE

Great hair starts with a healthy scalp – and a scalp brush is a perfect tool to help you level up your hair-care routine. From exfoliating away dead skin cells and product build-up to stimulating blood circulation, there are a whole bunch of reasons you should be using a scalp brush. 

The process also helps to destress your mind (as well as your scalp) so not only will you have healthy-looking hair but your stress levels will drop as soon as you start massaging those pressure points. This innovative tool can help improve the look and feel of all hair types but for anyone that suffers from dandruff, a scalp brush could be a total game-changer!

PROTECT HAIR AND SCALP

Protect your hair with a hat, cap, or scarf to prevent UV rays from damaging your hair and, more importantly, your scalp, but don’t forget to let it breathe when you are in the shade. And even better if you can take shelter during the hours when UV rays are most intense to avoid ending up with burnt hair from prolonged direct exposure.

KEEP YOUR HAIR HYDRATED AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

To prevent your hair from drying out, team up with moisturising and nourishing products such as a serum and masks, they will help to keep it hydrated and strong, preventing unnecessary hair loss. Washing your hair is also essential for a healthy and oxygenated scalp. Use a moisturizing shampoo, and pH-neutral, if possible, when washing your hair. In order not to damage the hair, it is advisable to use products free of chemical components such as sulphates, silicones, and parabens.

AVOID TIGHT HAIRSTYLES

When it’s hot, we quickly resort to updos and tight hairstyles. To facilitate the oxygenation of the hair follicles and prevent hair from falling out, we should avoid tight hairstyles to avoid hair tension and the detachment of the strands.
