2. Avoid the permanent perm in summer.

3. Use products for hair with a sun-defending factor. Consult with specialist, who will recommend you the most appropriate product for you. If you choose the product by yourself, don’t forget to read all of the composites that are included and to understand what are its advantages.

4. It’s obligatory to take a hat or a handkerchief for any occasion. This is the surest way to protect your hair from the damaging sunbeams.

5. If you prefer the pool to the sea don’t forget the damaging influence of the chlorine. Rinse your hair with soft shampoo for frequent usage. You can take advantage from the most saloons that offer a special anti-chlorine therapy.

6. The ends of the hair are the most risky zones. Pay a special attention to them – make a therapy with oil of jojoba, cut them often in comparison with the usual visitation you make to your hairdresser during the rest of the year. In the summer period more than ever use natural product for hair and such that don’t include alcohol.

7. Although that is not healthy for the hair to be tie always, in the biggest heats it is good for the hair to be tied to a tail, knot or plaits.
