How to keep your hair fresh all summer long.

Summer is coming! ☀️And that means it’s time for some summer hair care tips.

Especially with the combination of hot temperatures, increased exposure to sunlight, contact with chlorine or saltwater from swimming can all add up to leave your hair feeling very dry and brittle.

Below are some key tips and tricks to help your hair look and stay fresh all summer long.

Use a gentle repair shampoo:

During summer, you sweat more, and your hair gets exposed to dust and pollutants. Using a mild shampoo that doesn't strip away natural oils can help keep your hair clean and fresh. Additionally, you can also use a leave-in conditioner or hair oil to help hydrate your hair and keep it looking healthy.

We highly recommend using Eufora Nourish Urgent Repair Shampoo as it is a restorative shampoo that thoroughly removes dulling and damaging buildup improving the health of the hair and scalp.

Rinse your hair after swimming

Chlorine and saltwater can be harsh on your hair and leave it looking and feeling dry and brittle. Rinse your hair with clean water after swimming to get rid of any residue and protect your hair.

Use Heat protective products

Heat protective hair products help protect your hair from the damaging effects of heat styling tools such as flat irons, curling irons, and hair dryers. Using heat protective hair products can help maintain healthy-looking hair while still allowing you to achieve the desired hairstyle.

EuforaStyle Thermal Defense Prep Heat Damage Protectant 6.8oz: Spray liberally through towel dried hair before applying additional styling products. This spray's multi-benefit feature helps moisturize, detangle and prevents damage caused by styling and hot tools.

EuforaStyle Formation Styling Foam 8oz: Unique versatile styling foam for wet or dry hair. Its Brazil nut and Botanical extract blend of Chamomile, Horsetail, Nettle and Henna helps provide strength, shine and has a multi-benefit UV protectant that is also perfect for sculpting, volumizing, and texturizing.

Eufora Beautifying Elixirs ElixirONE 4.2oz: Has a powerful hair perfecting potion that protects damaged hair no matter the stress type or texture. With an all plant essence of sage, thyme and Brazil nut, it helps soothe the scalp, improves weak and brittle hair and protects your hair from UV while helping your hair grow healthy.

Use a hair mask

A weekly hair mask can help nourish and hydrate your hair,
which is especially important during the summer when your
hair can become dry and brittle. We personally use the
Eufora Beautifying Elixirs Moisture Masque as it restores critical moisture loss caused by environmental stresses, heat styling and professional services.

Pro Tip: When looking for the right hair mask, you need to consider your hair type and the specific needs of your hair. Not every mask will work for your hair type, so be sure to read reviews before purchase, or consult with one of our stylists to best fit your hair care needs!

Tie your hair up

Keeping your hair up in a bun or cute ponytail can help keep it away from your face and neck, preventing sweat and oils from accumulating and leaving your hair looking greasy.

Wear a hat

Wearing a hat or using a Thermal defense spray can help protect your hair from the sun's harmful UV rays, which can cause damage and fading. It also helps to keep your scalp protected and cool.

Drink plenty of water

Staying hydrated is important for the health of your hair, as well as your overall health. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially during the hot summer months.
