The expert gave tips on hair care in spring

In spring and summer, the active sun can seriously damage your hair. Ultraviolet rays destroy their structure, leading to dryness, brittleness and loss of shine. To protect curls during periods of increased exposure to UV radiation, it is important to choose the right care. Anastasia Likhosherst, a technologist and developer of the cosmetics brand Arabia Laboratories, told Izvestia on April 15 how to minimize damage from sunlight and preserve the beauty of her hair.

"Ultraviolet rays destroy keratin, the main protein that makes up the hair structure, which leads to loss of elasticity, split ends and general weakness. Secondly, the sun dehydrates the hair and pulls out the pigment, making them dry, dull and unruly. In addition, the sun has a negative effect on the scalp, leading to sunburn, peeling, itching and even hair loss," the expert explained.

According to her, to protect hair from the negative effects of the sun, you should use a sunscreen hair spray with UV filters, it creates a protective barrier against ultraviolet rays. You should also wear hats, panama hats, or headscarves.

"After the sea or pool, be sure to rinse your hair with clean water to wash off sea salt or chlorinated water, which can further damage the hair. Try to minimize the use of a hair dryer and irons, as high temperatures increase the damage caused by the sun; it is better to let your hair dry naturally," Likhoshurst advised.

The expert recommended choosing care products for the protection and restoration of hair with keratin, collagen and oil in the formulations. These ingredients will help the curls stay supple and shiny. It is also worth applying moisturizing masks regularly.: (once or twice a week).

"For example, you can use a keratin mask for intensive care, developed by expert professionals, containing collagen, d-panthenol and grape seed oil, which promote intensive restoration of damaged hair, making it smooth, manageable and strong. The components of the mask penetrate into the hair structure, nourishing and moisturizing them. The combined action of these components provides comprehensive hair care, helping to restore their health, moisturize, strengthen and make them more voluminous," said Likhoshurst.

In addition, she reminded that you should not forget to trim split ends regularly to avoid further splitting of hair.
