Summer Scalp and Hair Care Methods

Summer Scalp and Hair Care Methods

The following methods help keep the scalp and hair healthy.

Use a hat or parasol to prevent ultraviolet rays from exposing your hair and scalp.
It is advisable to protect your scalp and hair by using a hat or parasol to avoid ultraviolet rays. However, caution is required when wearing a hat, as poor ventilation can cause sebum, sweat, and impurities to accumulate on the scalp, leading to hair loss and facilitating bacterial growth. You can also use hair products containing UV protection to help mitigate hair damage caused by UV rays.

After playing in the water, wash your hair with clean, lukewarm water.
The high hydrogen ion concentration in water play facilities can destroy the stratum corneum of the scalp, and the chemical component called chlorine found in disinfectants commonly used in swimming pools, along with the salt in seawater, can damage hair proteins and cause hair to become dry. Therefore, after playing in the water, you should thoroughly wash not only your hair but also your scalp with clean, lukewarm water. After washing your hair, you must completely dry your scalp to prevent it from becoming a humid environment conducive to bacterial growth.
