Our Guide to Combating Sweat on Your Hair

During the summer months, your hair faces some challenges. Due to the weather being so nice and the sun shining high in the sky, our instinct is to bask in its rays. From sunbathing to summer sports, these outdoor activities will cause your bodies to perspire. Overall, you’ll cool off; however, sweat in your hair has some negative effects. Follow these helpful tricks to keep your hair healthy while remaining active.

Nourish Your Scalp

Sweat can dry on your scalp and clog your hair follicles. It can also mix with bacteria, which will irritate or damage your scalp. Scrub your scalp clean to remove sweat and build-up to completely detoxify and smooth the surface area. Then, combat damage by using a nourishing hair oil to keep your scalp moisturized and healthy.

Rinse with Cold Water

If you dye your hair but can't resist doing outdoor activities, you may run into a problem when sweating. The high salt content from your body's natural cooling system can impact your hair color. In order to prevent this fading effect, rinse your hair with cold water immediately after physical activity. We recommend implementing repairing hair products into your routine to nourish from root to tip.

Focus on Your Inner Calm

We can sweat for many different reasons such as by performing some sort of physical excursion or just having a spike in our stress levels. A great way to stay calm and sweat-free is by meditating. Mixing in a half hour to an hour of meditation a day can help you improve your mental health which, in turn, will help with reducing perspiration caused by stress.

You can’t completely eradicate sweating, and you would not want to thanks to its cooling effect. But, we can help you take care of your hair. So keep on exercising, sunbathing, and soaking up that vitamin D as much as you can. Refer back to this guide to ensure beautiful, sweat-free hair.
