Summer Hair and Beauty Care: Keeping Your Look Fresh and Fabulous

**Collaborative Post**

Summer is a season filled with sun, fun, and unfortunately, some challenges for your hair and beauty routine. The heat, humidity, and increased exposure to UV rays can take a toll on your hair and skin. But worry not! With the right tips and tools, you can maintain a fresh and fabulous look all summer long and you might be surprised at just how easy it is! 

Here’s a guide to help you navigate summer hair and beauty care, including a spotlight on the must-have mdLondon BLOW hairdryer.

1. Hydration is Key

The first rule of summer beauty care is to stay hydrated. This goes for both your hair and skin. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin glowing and your hair healthy. Consider using hydrating hair masks and moisturising skin treatments to combat the drying effects of the sun and saltwater. Treat your skin to weekly deep hydrating mask to top up and moisture too, your skin will thank you for it. 

2. Sun Protection

Just as you protect your skin with sunscreen, your hair also needs protection from the sun’s damaging rays. Use hair products that contain UV filters to shield your strands from the sun. Wearing a hat or scarf can also provide a physical barrier against UV damage, keeping your hair colour vibrant and your scalp safe from sunburn.

3. Embrace Lightweight Products

In the summer, heavy products can weigh down your hair and skin. Opt for lightweight, non-greasy formulas. For hair, choose leave-in conditioners or serums that provide moisture without the heaviness. For your skin, switch to gel-based moisturisers and light foundations or BB creams to avoid clogged pores and a greasy complexion.  I like to apply a weekly hair mask if I have been out in the sun lots as this just gives your hair the extra boost of moisture if might be missing. 

4. Combat Frizz and Humidity

Humidity can turn sleek styles into frizzy nightmares. To keep your hair smooth and manageable, use anti-frizz products and consider embracing more relaxed, natural styles that work with the humidity rather than against it. A quality hairdryer can make a significant difference here, and that's where the md London BLOW hairdryer comes in.

5. The mdLondon BLOW Hairdryer

6. Gentle Cleansing

Summer activities often mean more frequent washing to remove sweat, salt, and chlorine. Opt for gentle shampoos that cleanse without stripping your hair of its natural oils and if your hair feels particularly dirty it can be wise to shampoo twice to ensure your hair is as clean as possible. Look for sulphate-free formulas that nourish and protect your hair while keeping it clean.

7. Protect Your Colour

If you have coloured hair, summer can be particularly harsh, causing fading and dryness and this definitely isn't a time you want to be topping up your colour all the time either as this can just cause more damage to your hair. Use colour-protecting shampoos and conditioners to preserve your hue. Additionally, rinse your hair with fresh water before and after swimming to minimise chlorine or saltwater damage.

8. Nourish from Within

Healthy hair and skin start from the inside out. Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Foods high in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, and E can promote healthy skin and hair. Consider taking supplements if necessary to fill any nutritional gaps.
