It’s summertime in the Northern hemisphere and that means lots of water, sun and fun. But take heed! Gray hair is more susceptible to sun and chlorine damage. Here are a few tips to ensure your beautiful gray hair stays in good shape during the warmer weather:
- Gray hair lacks the pigment melanin, a natural sunscreen in brown, red, and black hair. Protect your gray hair with hair products that include sunscreen or wear a hat or scarf while in the sun.
- Wear a cap while swimming. A better option is to apply sunscreen on your hair under the cap. Nature’s Prescription sells a Aloe Vere Based Pre-Swim conditioner. If you opt to forgo the swim cap, be sure to condition your gray hair often using copious amounts of conditioner after swimming. Here are a few products you might want to try:
Aubrey Organics Swimmer’s Normalizing Shampoo for Active Lifestyles
Lanza Swim and Sun Daily Chelating Shampoo
Tri-Swim Shampoo and Conditioner
JF Lazartingue After Swimming Shampoo and Salt Neutralizer
