Summer is almost over, but the effects of the summer heat on our hair are probably far from gone. The heat may have caused our hair to flatten limply, to get all frizzled up, or simply feel dry. It is because the heat has dried up the moisture from our hair.
But there are ways of solving summer-dried hair. It generally takes creativity and ample application of moisturizing products. Here is how:
1. Flat-looking hair. If your hair looks flat and wilting, you can pull it back and arrange it in a loose bun at the back of your neck. If your hair is not long enough for a bun, you can try fixing it in a ponytail.
You can add more body to your limp hair by applying moisturizer then adding some scrunch into your hair. Dry shampoo also works, or in case of blonde hair, baby powder, at the roots of your hair to soak up moisture. If you want, you can also try lightening the hair or putting highlights, since hair color plumps up hair strands. Keeping the highlights close to your face makes for a heightened effect.
2. Frizzled hair. Frizzled hair needs a lot of moisturizing and conditioning. Treat your frizzled hair to some deep conditioning once a week. You do not have to go to a salon to do this. All you need is to apply your favorite conditioner to your hair after a shampoo, cover your hair with a plastic cap and let your hair stay that way for 30 minutes. An alternative to this is applying olive oil and letting it stay on for 30 minutes, then rinsing it off. Do not blow-dry your hair; instead, just let it dry in the air.
For added moisture to the hair, you can apply gel, a shine serum and other moisturizing products. Also, you can mask the frizzles of your hair by doing it up in a stylish bun.
3. Sun-damaged hair. If your hair has been damaged by the sun, prevent further damage by washing your hair with sunscreen shampoos and by using hats or bandannas when going out.
Of course, these tips to restoring summer-damaged hair will not work if the basics of hair care are not applied. The basics of hair care include:
Shampooing and conditioning regularly. However, don’t overshampoo your hair because it will only cause your hair to become drier.
Protecting the hair against exposure to the sun, to chlorine and to salt water. Protection comes, as mentioned above, from wearing hats or bandannas, using umbrellas to shield your hair from the sun when going out, using conditioners with sunscreen, and rinsing the hair immediately after swimming.
Avoiding styling the hair excessively with hot curlers, hair dryers and hair irons. The same goes with too much perming, bleaching and coloring, which damages the hair.
Keeping your body hydrated and properly nourished with a balanced diet. Whatever goes into your body also goes to your hair. The right amount of rest and exercise also goes to preventing dry hair.
Summer comes and goes every year, but your hair is part of you. Beautiful hair, as they say, is a woman’s crowning glory. Take care of it well.

Shampoo, then condition. Proper shampooing is the first step to a healthy scalp and manageable hair, but don't use a conditioning shampoo. Two-in-one products that combine shampoo and conditioner really can't do a good job of either cleansing or conditioning. After all, how can a product effectively remove and add substances at the same time?
Instead, use a gentle shampoo to cleanse, then follow with a conditioner specifically geared for dry hair every time you shampoo. Don't worry about shampooing too often. Today's gentle shampoos are designed for frequent use.
Deep-condition regularly. To fill nicks and chips in the hair's damaged outer layer and restore shine, deep-condition. Depending on the condition of your hair, once a week or once every few weeks is all that is needed. Consisting of various combinations of natural and synthetic ingredients (including proteins, polymers or other additives), deep conditioners don't "feed" your hair; they just fill in defects and coat the hair shaft, resulting in a smooth, flat surface that will reflect light and restore shine to your hair.
For maximum effectiveness apply a deep conditioner before you shampoo. Gently work the conditioner into your hair with your fingertips and allow it to be absorbed for a few minutes. Then shampoo and follow with your regular conditioner.
Pat your hair dry. Hair dryers and blowers--and even vigorous towel-drying--can rough up the outer layer of hair cells. So whenever possible, pat or gently squeeze your hair dry with a towel and avoid rough handling.
Use thermal styling conditioners. If you must blow-dry your hair, spray it with a thermal conditioner such as HeatSafe before you plug in your dryer. HeatSafe combines four different types of moisturizers designed to both treat and prevent dry hair.
Protect your tresses. To prevent the sun from drying your hair or exacerbating hair that's already dry, mist your hair with a sunscreen made for hair before you hit the beach or head for the pool. Or wear a hat whenever you're out in the sun.
Good luck. :)

you may want to attempt Paul Mitchell - they have a sparkling 'exhibit type' line it truly is aimed in the route of having speedier drying consequences (i imagine the product you want is termed quick Slip, round £8-10 from salon that inventory Paul Mitchell). also make sure you hard dry your hair as a lot as conceivable earlier blow drying. for instance - towel dry, stick with products, dry more beneficial or less utilising only palms and dryer till 80% dry, then use a broom with the dryer to tender a touch, and finally use straighteners. Or possibly omit out the blow drying totally! i recognize it sounds extraordinary even if the straighteners we use now are a lot more beneficial effective and can want to actual straighten even the most frizzy, hard dried, hair!

Have you tried a deep conditioner? They have all kinds of really good treatments out there for dry hair. Or after you shampoo your hair and you put your conditioner in, finish your shower before you rinse it out.
