- Deep condition your hair at least once a month, using a treatment on your locks for 15 minutes. Rinse it out thoroughly then follow with your normal hair care regimen.
- Use a daily moisturizing cream with sunscreen made specifically for chemically treated hair.
- Wear a scarf or hat on extremely hot days. It will protect your hair (and make you feel cooler.)
- Change your hairstyle if necessary. Consider pulling your hair back or braiding it for the hottest part of the season.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Avoid direct sunlight on your hair during peak hours, from noon to 3 PM.
