Once hair is damaged, it is difficult to restore it. We are revealing a summer hair care guide that will keep your scalp and hair healthy even in the worst situations, such as hot UV rays, salty sea water, and stains from sweat and dust.
Case A
I’ve been outside for a long time recently, so my hair has become very frizzy. It’s dyed hair, and the color seems to have faded. They say that hair is affected by UV rays just like skin, so how should I take care of it?
Hair is no exception to damage caused by intense UV exposure. If hair is exposed to UV rays for a long time, it becomes dull and brittle. If not careful, it can lead to a sensitive scalp and, in severe cases, hair loss. “Just as sunscreen is important in skin care routines, hair should also be protected from damage by applying sunscreen. After shampooing, use treatments and hair sun care products that protect hair from heat damage such as dryer heat and UV rays before drying your hair.” This is the advice of Aveda Education Department Deputy Director Eun-sook Lee. Once hair is damaged, it is difficult to restore it, so prevention is the top priority!

Case B
I went on vacation to the beach. I also used the outdoor pool, but when I got home, my hair was a mess. It was so rough and stiff like a broom that I couldn’t handle it. What should I do in this situation?
From salty seawater and wind to pool water full of chemical disinfectants. After a vacation, even more thorough hair care is necessary. “If you don’t remove the chlorine or salt remaining in your hair, it can cause trouble and eventually lead to hair loss. Wash thoroughly with a shampoo with a deep cleansing function, and massage your scalp with a treatment about twice a week, then comb to remove impurities.” Assistant Manager Lee Eun-sook added that on the day you scale your hair and scalp, don’t forget to provide sufficient moisture and nutrition with serum or essence. Hair packs with a balanced oil and moisture content are also the best at revitalizing hair. You can get healthy hair by investing just 10 minutes twice a week.

Case C:
My scalp has been itchy and has been getting pimples like pimples. It seems to get worse on days when I sweat a lot. Large, thick dead skin cells have formed, so I’m afraid to go out.
The scalp, which is continuously exposed to intense light and heat, starts with minor symptoms such as a burning sensation or redness, and develops into noticeable problems such as occasional pimples or sudden increase in dead skin cells. In such cases, the only way to survive is to ‘soothe’. “When the scalp is irritated, it feels inflammation, erythema, and itchiness, and the skin’s defense function decreases, resulting in a decrease in moisture. If left untreated, this can cause hair loss. Using products with chemical additives can make the situation worse. It is recommended to care for the scalp with products that are fragrance-free and color-free and that soothe and relieve the scalp.” This is the solution provided by Assistant Manager Eun-sook Lee. If the fever does not subside easily, try lowering the scalp temperature with a cooling product.
