Five tips to prepare your hair for summer

Many people want to have perfect, radiant hair for summer. Délicure offers its top five tips for preparing your hair before the summer season arrives!

Taking care of your hair with natural treatments

To stay healthy, hair needs to be moisturized and nourished with the right care and regular maintenance. Ideally, use natural ingredients, available to everyone, to create your own homemade hair care products.

Treatments sold in medium and large stores, often made with chemical ingredients, should be avoided because they can alter the quality of the hair in the long term.

Choose aloe vera, honey, plain yogurt, or eggs: these are excellent ingredients for enhancing your hair. They deeply nourish and hydrate the fiber and improve its strength.

Perform a hair treatment once a week, before the arrival of summer and vacation, to strengthen your hair and prepare it for UV rays. For example, mix a tablespoon of natural yogurt with aloe vera, then apply all over your hair.

Pamper your hair with vegetable oils

Vegetable oils are hair's best friend. In addition to nourishing the fiber's 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: castor oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and argan oil. To benefit from their benefits, choose organic oils and apply them as an oil bath at least once a week for at least 30 minutes. To rinse, use a gentle shampoo that's free of sulfates, silicones, and parabens.

To stimulate growth, massage a few drops into the scalp. To strengthen and protect the entire strand of hair, apply a few drops to the lengths and ends.

Trim dry and/or damaged ends

If you want to maintain good length, visiting a hairdresser to trim your ends is essential. In addition to strengthening your hair, this 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 again with good hair foundations.

Protecting your hair during the summer

When the sun comes out, we think about protecting our skin... but we often forget our hair.

Every summer, hair is exposed to sun, wind, sea, and swimming pools. These elements can damage the fiber, promote breakage, and dull its shine. UVA/UVB rays oxidize the pigment (especially if the hair is colored) and weaken the keratin , making the hair dry.

Our advice: tie your hair up and wear a silk scarf when exposed to the sun, apply a suitable protective product (or a few drops of vegetable oil) daily to the lengths and ends, and rinse systematically after swimming.

Take food supplements for beautiful hair

A course of dietary supplements helps enhance hair and address any deficiencies that can contribute to breakage or unusual hair loss. To be effective, they must be part of a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet.

These supplements often contain vitamins, minerals, and herbs that target the scalp and fiber: they support growth, strengthen the structure, and help limit seasonal hair loss. For long, strong hair as summer approaches, start your program a few months before. They are available in capsules, tablets, ampoules, or even gummies .

Délicure Hair & Nails Capsules

For a simple and effective pre-summer routine, Délicure offers Hair & Nail capsules made from plant extracts carefully selected for their action on the beauty of the fiber and the quality of the keratin.

Key active ingredients : stinging nettle, horsetail extract, and bamboo extract (source of silica). This plant-based synergy supports natural keratin synthesis, helps strengthen hair fibers, and contributes to the appearance of nails—ideal for a comprehensive beauty treatment before the summer season.

Directions for use of capsules

Take 3 capsules daily with a glass of water, preferably with a meal. Aim for a 2-3 month program before summer to optimize shine, strength, and density.

Precautions for use

Supplements should be used as part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a child, or are taking medication, consult a healthcare professional.

FAQ — Preparing your hair for summer

When to start a hair treatment before summer?

Ideally 8 to 12 weeks before exposure (spring). This gives the fiber time to strengthen and gain shine.

Which vegetable oils should you choose for summer?

Castor oil (strength), coconut oil (nourishing), argan oil (antioxidant), and avocado oil (repairing). Apply a small amount to the lengths and ends, 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 clean water after each bath and do a nourishing mask 1×/week.

Should you cut your ends before or after summer?

Both work! A micro-trim before summer limits breakage and split ends. A touch-up after summer eliminates ends damaged by the sun, salt, and chlorine.
