Humidity and oil

Humid air and sweat make the scalp oilier and hair go flat faster.

Sun

Strong sun can dry the hair shaft and burn exposed scalp, especially along a parting or a sparse crown. Use a hat or umbrella at midday.

Water and chlorine

After swimming, rinse your hair with clean water as soon as you can.

A simple routine

Gentle shampoo, conditioner on the ends only, and dry the roots well. Consistency matters more than lots of products.
