Five tips to prepare your hair for summer
Many people want perfect, radiant hair for summer. Délicure offers its five best tips to prepare your hair before the arrival of summer!
Taking care of your hair with natural treatments
To stay healthy, hair needs to be hydrated and nourished with appropriate and regular care. Ideally, use natural ingredients, readily available to everyone, to create your own homemade hair care products.
Hair care products sold in supermarkets and hypermarkets, often composed of chemical ingredients, should be avoided as they can damage hair quality in the long term.
Opt for aloe vera, honey, plain yogurt, or even eggs: these are excellent ingredients for enhancing your hair. They deeply nourish and hydrate the hair fiber and improve its strength.
Treat your hair once a week before summer and your holidays to strengthen it and prepare it for UV rays. For example, mix a tablespoon of plain yogurt with aloe vera, then apply it to your entire head of hair.
Pamper your hair with plant-based oils
Plant oils are the best allies for hair. In addition to nourishing the hair fiber structure, they promote growth and help prevent hair loss naturally. They can be used year-round, especially as summer approaches to protect hair from the sun's rays.
Among the best are castor, avocado, coconut, and argan oils. To reap their benefits, choose organic oils if possible and apply them as a hair oil treatment at least once a week for a minimum of 30 minutes. To rinse, use a gentle shampoo free of sulfates, silicones, and parabens.
To stimulate growth, massage a few drops into the scalp. To strengthen and protect the hair overall, apply a few drops to the lengths and ends.
Trim any dry and/or damaged ends
If you want to maintain good length, a visit to the hairdresser for a trim is essential. In addition to strengthening the hair, it helps eliminate split ends that can travel up the hair shaft and cause breakage.
Summer heat worsens the condition of split ends: it is therefore better to cut a few centimeters before summer to start off on a good hair base.
Protecting your hair during the summer
When the sun comes out, we think about protecting our skin… but we often forget about our hair.
Every summer, hair is exposed to sun, wind, sea, and swimming pools. These elements can damage the hair fiber, promote breakage, and dull its shine. UVA/UVB rays oxidize the pigment (especially if the hair is colored) and weaken the keratin , leaving hair dry.
Our advice: tie your hair up and wear a silk scarf when exposed to the sun, apply a suitable protective product daily (or a few drops of vegetable oil) to the lengths and ends, and rinse thoroughly after swimming.
Taking dietary supplements for hair beauty
A course of dietary supplements can help enhance hair and address any deficiencies that may contribute to breakage or unusual hair loss. For them to be effective, they should be used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.
These supplements often contain vitamins, minerals, and herbs that target the scalp and hair fiber: they support growth, strengthen the structure, and help limit seasonal hair loss. For long, strong hair as summer approaches, start your regimen a few months in advance. They are available in capsules, tablets, ampoules, or gummies .

FAQ — Preparing your hair before summer
When should I start a hair treatment before summer?
Ideally, 8 to 12 weeks before the show (spring). This allows time for the fiber to strengthen and gain shine.
Which vegetable oils are best for summer?
Castor oil (strength), coconut oil (nourishing), argan oil (antioxidant), and avocado oil (repairing). Apply a small amount to the lengths and ends of your hair, especially after swimming.
How to protect your hair from UV rays, salt and chlorine?
Wear a scarf/hat , apply a protective treatment or a few drops of oil to the ends, rinse with clear water after each bath and do a nourishing mask 1x/week.
Should you trim your ends before or after summer?
Both have their merits! A micro-trim before summer limits breakage and split ends. A touch-up after summer eliminates ends damaged by the sun, salt, and chlorine.
