How to Keep Your Hair Strong Over the Summer

As summer gets into full swing, our hair is exposed to a multitude of damaging sources that can wreak havoc on its delicate structure. Whether it's the over exposure to UV Rays that cause oxidative stress and breakage, constant sweat and humidity, the chlorine from swimming, extra washing or the scorching heat from styling tools, summer can be a hair care nightmare... Unless you have the right routine.

Oftentimes, the real results of your summer hair damage without a proper routine, won't show until September rolls around in the form of breakage, dullness and damaged locks. To keep hair looking gorgeous now, and in the months to come, check out our Raw Sugar expert picks! Take dry, lackluster locks and infuse them with moisture, shine and protection to keep your mane feeling long and strong all summer and beyond.  

 
1. Switch to a super moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner that quenches thirsty summer hair. When you’re washing more and exposing your hair to more environmental stresses, the Moisture Smoothie Shampoo and Conditioner is a game-changer. It’s like a long drink of a nutritious smoothie for your hair. With nutrient-dense cold press oils or nourishing ingredients like Coconut, Agave and Sweet Almond Milk, these gentle formulas are made without sulfates and works to hydrate and tame your mane by fighting frizz and locking in moisture, leaving your hair feeling soft, silky, and smooth.

2. Infuse hair with ingredients to help fortify strength, fullness and help support thicker looking hair. The Grow Pro Shampoo and Conditioner with Vegan Biotin is a must-try for thinning hair and hair prone to breakage. The special vegan biotin-infused formula helps to nourish and support hair follicles, leaving your locks to appear thicker, fuller, and more resilient. It helps to support elasticity and hair length while reducing breakage, allowing your hair to thrive. 

3. Add a nutrient dense hair masque to your weekly hair routine. If you’ve somehow missed the message that hair masques can help heal and restore vibrancy, this is your wake up call.
