“Shave It All Off”
Slowdown, cowboy. Should you actually go shorter in summer? Well, short hair does have its perks but a buzz cut isn’t the only way to escape the heat. Longer hair might not feel as breezy but it can naturally help protect your skin and eyes against the sun. This is important for anyone spending a fair amount of time outside. And if you’re in between a buzz and a long, luscious mane, consider a skin fade. Keep some length on top while still leaving little to no hair on your neck and ears.
And if you’re gonna buzz your head at home, at least make it punk, you poser.
Heatwave Hair
Listen up, Sweaties. If you are sweating every day, you need to be washing every day. Washing your hair daily can be pretty rough on dry hair types. But remember, you’re washing your scalp too, not just your hair. If your hair seems dry from daily washing, try adjusting your process. Instead of shampooing from root to end every wash, try focusing on your roots and scalp. Let the shampoo rinse out naturally and completely. Shampoo the ends only when needed or try a dry shampoo. VERB dry shampoo powder isn’t a substitute for cleansing your scalp but it will absorb impurities and grease from summer hair without any damage or drying.
It can be tempting to leave your hair wet after showering in the summer. This might keep you cooler a little longer but it might also promote fungal acne, depending on your skin. Air drying also allows humidity to style your hair in less than desirable ways. Especially, if you have natural waves and curls. Don’t worry, just pick up some Seize Sea Salt Spray. This texturizing spray works like magic, giving your hair a tousled, lake vibe in minutes. Use it on damp or dry hair for effortless, undone perfection. Easy, fast, and clean.
