The summer months pose serious challenges not only for our skin but also for our scalp. Just think about it: the blazing sun, UV rays, sweating, dust, and chlorinated or salty water all take a toll on the scalp, leading to problems such as dandruff, itching, or hair loss. Fortunately, with a few simple yet conscious steps, we can do a lot for the health of our scalp. We are here to help you with that!
Why is summer scalp care important?
The sun's rays damage not only your skin but also your scalp. UV radiation can dry out and irritate the scalp, and in the long term, it can even weaken hair follicles. Additionally, increased sweating in the summer heat promotes the proliferation of bacteria and fungi – this often leads to dandruff and itching.
Tip: Seawater and chlorinated pool water are particularly drying, so it is advisable to pay special attention to hair and scalp care after swimming.
How to assemble your summer scalp care routine?
1. Cleanse regularly and thoroughly
During the summer, the scalp can easily become weighed down by sebum, sweat, and dirt. It is advisable to incorporate a scalp scrub 1-2 times a week, which removes dead skin cells, opens the pores, and supports the functioning of hair follicles.
2. Use a gentle, SLES-free shampoo
Frequent hair washing in the summer is almost unavoidable, but it is important not to further dry out the scalp with aggressive ingredients.
The Maruderm SLES-free hair regenerating shampoo contains an amino acid complex, willow bark extract, argan oil, and coconut oil. Its specially developed repairing and strengthening formula takes care of the hair. It helps restore and strengthen damaged hair strands, giving the hair a shiny, radiant, and voluminous appearance.
3.Protect your scalp from the sun
The scalp is exposed to the harmful effects of the sun just as much as your facial skin. For example, if you wear your hair parted, that area can be particularly sensitive.
Tip: Use hair care products with UV filters, such as sprays or oils, that not only hydrate but also provide protection. An example is the Maruderm Two-Phase Heat Protectant and Sunscreen Hair Spray, designed to protect hair from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun, the negative effects of seawater, high heat, and other environmental factors. This protective, hair-drying spray is specifically formulated to care for the hair and effectively protect it from damage caused by environmental factors.
4. Don't forget to hydrate
Chlorinated water, salt, and UV rays all dry out the scalp. A lightweight moisturizing spray or oil helps maintain the balance and elasticity of the scalp.
The Maruderm Hair Structure Repair Hair Care Tonic is a product that supports and improves the structural integrity of hair, in line with the advancements in trichological sciences. It is enriched with valuable ingredients such as amino acid complex, willow bark extract, argan oil, and coconut oil. These ingredients help restore damaged and split ends.After seawater, chlorine, and UV radiation: what to do?
After a day at the beach or swimming pool, always rinse your hair thoroughly with plenty of water to remove salt or chlorine. Then use a gentle shampoo, followed by hydration. Additionally, it is advisable to use a scalp scrub once a week to completely remove impurities.
