Summer style rules: what to do with hair at sea if it is very fluffy – the stylist answers

An expert has told VOICE readers what to do with hair if it turns into some kind of fluffy dandelion while on a beach vacation.

Most often, curly, dyed or fine hair is prone to this characteristic. It’s about the lack of keratin – a protein that affects the structure of the hair. It is he who makes curls shiny, gives elasticity and density, moisturizes and facilitates combing.

To saturate the hair with keratin, professional care is required. Procedures of moisturizing masks and balms in beauty salons that work for deeper recovery are perfect. You can take care of fluffy hair at home using special tools.

First of all, you need to protect the curls from the sun. To do this, there is a special line of products with SPF protection, which prevents the sun’s rays from affecting the structure of the hair. These products are best applied before going to the beach. But you should not forget about regular care.

If you want your hair to be lint-free by the sea, you need to take care of it in the evening. For example, before going to bed, you can apply styling to thicken the hair structure, as well as use a leave-in repair product. It is at night that the regeneration processes are activated which help to rehabilitate the skin and the hair cells.

Girls with fluffy curls should stop using oils, as they can not only damage their hair, but also damage it. The fact is that natural oils under the influence of the sun destroy keratin, which subsequently dries and thins the curls. Due to ultraviolet rays, the oil overheats, cools for a long time and penetrates the hair, spoiling its structure. At the same time, it is very difficult to wash it off curls.

It should be noted that in some lines there are special oils that are more related to cosmetic fluids – special care products that work instantly. They have the effect and consistency of an oil, but can even consist of components with SPF. Therefore, if you still cannot do without oil, choose this option, because it will not harm your hair.

There is another substance that can ruin the structure of hair on the beach – it’s sea salt. If sea water gets on the curls during bathing, it is necessary to rinse them thoroughly with clean water so that the sea salt is not absorbed. Under the influence of the sun, the salt on the hair can crystallize, which will make the curls weak and dry.

How to wash your hair properly so as not to go bald: an ingenious tip from a trichologist

It is not recommended to dissolve fluffy hair on the beach. It is necessary to reduce the exposure of curls to the sun, so it is better to collect them in a bun or fix them with bobby pins. Do not forget about the headgear, which will not only save you from sunburn, but also protect your hair from damage.

If you have a party or a photo shoot on the beach and you need an unusual look, try dampening your curls with plain water. So you can achieve a “wet effect” and stay in the sun for a long time with your hair loose without harming their health.

Also, a great solution is to braid wet curls at night in pigtails. In this case, it is necessary to press them well with a towel. In the morning you will wake up with a ready-to-use style and your hair will be curled for a long time.
