If you're like us,you know the hair struggles we're talking about.That's why we've created this summer hair guide outlining some of the most common hair care problems we all face during the hot weather,as well as solutions to combat these issues.Read on.

Protect Yourself From The Sun,Avoid exposure during peak sunlight hours,i.e.from 11:00 to 15:00 hours.Protect your virgin malaysian hair with caps,hats or the like.Look after your hair with products containing a sunscreen and apply them before and after you go out in the sun.If you are going to spend a long day in the sun,we recommend either applying a deep conditioner containing SPF protection or covering your scalp with a hat.Lastly,ditch your hot tools this summer and embrace your natural hair.We recommend to heat style your hair as little as possible in general to maintain its health,however,the summer months are the best time to start experimenting with a heatless lifestyle.Instead of curling your hair,try applying some sea salt spray for effortless beach waves.

Shampoo Rules: Sulfate-Free And Sparingly,You need not have a keratin treatment to enjoy the benefits of shampoo sans-sulfates.Sulfate-free shampoos are more delicate than the alternative and strip less moisture from your hair,especially if you use them less often.Try washing once or twice a week depending on your hair texture.

Limit Chlorine Damage,Salt water and chlorine can damage your hair bundles with closure.The salt that remains in your hair and on the surface of your head acts as a UV ray intensifier,concentrating and magnifying the rays.Chlorine can have a toxic effect if maintained over time,affecting the hair structure.Rinse your hair or shower after swimming in the sea or the pool if it has a lot of chlorine,as this will help your hair.When it comes to salt water,the key is to rinse your hair right after coming out of the water.Use a hydrating conditioner right after swimming to restore moisture back in your hair.If you are an avid beach-bum,make sure to apply a weekly deep conditioning hair mask to save your hair from drying out this summer.

Preserve Your Hair Colour,Sunlight affects the pigments used to dye our hair.Hydrate your hair correctly by using products containing essential nutrients such as antioxidants.Add a hair mask with a sunscreen to your malaysian wavy hair care routine.If your malaysian straight hair is colored,we recommend to go for a shampoo specifically designed for color treated hair.Check the product's pH level and ensure that it is between 4.5-5.5 to prevent color from fading.Great hair products for dyed hair will also include ingredients like oils,sea kelp or algae,in order to lock in color and protect your hair from damage.

Sun Damage Prevention,It is important to include foods in our diet that contain antioxidants such as vitamins A,C and E.Fruit and vegetables and citrus fruits in particular have a neutralising effect on sun damage and free radicals that can damage cells.Drink more water to minimise the dehydrating effect of the sun.The best way to avoid damage from the sun to your hair is to literally have something stopping the UV rays to your hair strands.Wearing hats,bandanas,or headscarves are great solutions,as a literal sunscreen for your hair.And hey,they make super cute accessories as well.Not sure how to rock a hat or headscarf?

Summer is here,and while we're all pretty mindful about protecting our skin with sunscreen and moisturizers,most of us don't realize our natural hair extensions need protecting too!An extra tip: rather than using hair brushes,which end up causing more frizz,use a wide tooth comb to brush through your hair while wet,helping to minimize frizz and maintain your natural curl.
