Is summer secretly damaging your scalp?
Summer is great for your mood, but not always for your scalp.
Heat, sweat, UV exposure, chlorine and frequent washing can all throw your scalp out of balance. What often starts as a little dryness or oiliness can quickly become irritation, itchiness, flakes or hair that simply feels heavy and lifeless. That's because your scalp works harder during summer than at any other time of year.
The good news? A few simple swaps to your routine can help restore balance before small problems become bigger ones.
The Summer Scalp Cycle
SUN + HEAT
Exposure to sun and heat can cause more sweat and oil production.
Chlorine
Chlorine can leave behind residue and dry out the scalp.
build up
SPF, sweat, dry shampoo and styling products collect around the scalp.
IMBALANCE
Dryness, itchiness, flakes or excess oil begin to appear on the scalp.
reset
Gentle mineral haircare helps cleanse, rebalance and soothe.
