You probably already know the damage that the sun's rays cause to your skin (take the opportunity to check out our latest solar range!), but did you know that they can also damage your hair? Yes, summer isn't exactly our hair's BFF. The sun and frequent contact with sea or pool water can make them dry and brittle. However, as big fans of the season, this won't stop us from making the most of it, we just need to take some extra care.

At MPL'beauty we develop several hair products and although UV rays are an enemy to combat, if we have the necessary precautions, we don't need to worry about them. So, if you are already preparing to enjoy summer in the most complete way possible, we have 7 tips to protect your hair from the possible damage that the hottest season of the year can cause to your hair.

1. Use hair sunscreen.
2. After contact with sea water or chlorine from a swimming pool, always wash your hair with fresh water to avoid continuous contact with these elements that damage your hair.
3. Enhance hydration with our Super Hair Mask: an intensive leave-in mask, formulated with powerful natural oils and butters, to hydrate, strengthen and restore dry or brittle hair. Provides intensive nutrition, leaving hair stronger and shinier.
4. Adopt a weekly hydration routine and take the opportunity to apply the Super Hair Serum – your ally to strengthen your hair from root to tip. With botanical oils specifically selected for their power to revitalize and restore the natural strength of the hair fiber, it softens your hair, restoring shine, luminosity and elasticity. It also helps to soothe irritated and dry scalps, so if that's the case for you – be sure to add this product to cart. This serum is also an excellent finisher and can be applied to dry hair.
5. Wear a hat: the advantage of this accessory is not just aesthetics, it also serves as a protective barrier. Scarves are also great allies and offer greater styling options.
6. Here we are very much in favor of “nourishing yourself from within” to see results on your skin – in this case, your hair. That's why we developed Gotas Cabelo, which strengthen each strand and protect the roots. Bonus points for: they also strengthen nails and skin.
7. Lastly, don't tie up wet hair. Tying up wet hair will make it easier to break, so imagine that combined with the fact that it is already more fragile due to all the aggression. It's not for us.
