The heat arrives and our hair also suffers from it. To the touch we notice it drier and to the eye with less shine and more frizzy. Also the color lasts less, even turns to unwanted tones. To avoid this deterioration, a consequence of solar radiation and salt water, with chlorine or lime, it is necessary to take into account the tips and tricks that Marta Gayete, technical director of Raffel Pagés (www.raffelpages.com) shares with us. This professional is committed to a good haircut that will be the basis for taking care of it afterwards: “We will choose a suitable cut: without layers or with few layers for straight hair, over which we seek more control. Or scaled and paraded cuts for more informal and disheveled looks.
Once the form is created, it must be maintained. To establish the best protocol and products needed at home “it is important to know the time we can dedicate to hair, as well as the activities that can affect your health, such as outdoor sports or bathing on the beach or pool”, remember.
In addition, it is very important to convey to the professional how we want to see ourselves “it helps us decide what is best for each person”. But it also reveals a fact to us: “only 30% of the population has straight hair while 70% has wavy or curly hair”. And it is that, sometimes, fighting against the nature of the hair can take its toll. Hence, it is advisable to adapt to our hair rather than wanting to “tame” it by force.
Finally and as a summary, Gayete guides us step by step to enjoy our hair in summer. “The first thing is to prepare it with a shaping treatment (smoothing, shaping, filling for fine ends or restructuring for damaged hair). The second will be to create the ideal haircut and choose the maintenance products at home that will basically be a protector from the sun and water, a good shampoo, a conditioner or mask, and a finish product without rinsing to seal cuticles and prevent the oxidation they cause. the sun and the air. Learning to use them with the tricks that our hairdresser will give us will be key to achieving the look we desire.
