Summer hair care basics

Apr 27, 2009 by FN's Happy Lopez

795495_blonde_hair.jpgAfter weeks of intense heat, it seems summer will end sooner than expected given the unpredictable showers. Yet your hair has been damaged enough already by too much sun exposure this season, and your hair needs that extra TLC.

No matter where you went or what you did this summer-be it basking under the sun at a beach resort or commuting to work each day, getting exposed to pollution and dust in the process-your hair and scalp were at risk of damage. Your hair is probably drier than usual, and your scalp more prone to irritation, sweating, and itching. The unwanted result: unhealthy hair and dandruff.

So how do you battle the hair blues? The trick is in knowing what hair products you need. Here are three basic ones you can’t do without.

Cleansing
The first step to treating these hair concerns is to know the right kind of shampoo and conditioner to use. Remember that scalp will most likely dry up when frequently exposed to the sun, making it itch and eventually get flaky. But you can’t expect your usual shampoo to eventually eliminate this problem for you. Try dandruff shampoos that have zinc pyrithione, which is known to be the most effective ingredient in fighting dandruff and eliminating it completely. Try using Head & Shoulders Dry and Itchy Scalp Care shampoo (P104).
