In summer, many girls face a problemdryness and brittleness of hair. After a vacation at sea or a hot sunny summer in the city, even owners of luxurious curls often notice dullness and split ends. The thing is that in the summer, hair loses especially a lot of moisture.
Why do hair lose moisture?
"The overall moisture level of the hair fluctuatesfrom 3% to 25%. The thing is that the waterproof lipid layer on the hair surface is responsible for preserving moisture in the hair structure. Over the years, this layer becomes thinner, and the hair loses moisture. Various stress factors, which are especially numerous in the summer, also contribute to the weakening of the protective layer: these are sun rays, salty sea water, cooling devices, and dry indoor air.
