And while it might be tempting to put your hair up when it’s wet after getting out of the shower, or even going to a dip in the sea or swimming pool, she said you should think twice.
Instead, social media user and hair pro @organizedchaos522 said it was important to let your hair air dry before reaching for a hair band.
She explained: “Summertime is coming which is excellent news.
“But our hair is prone to more damage in the summer so I’m going to share a few ways on how you can protect your hair extra this summer, and make sure your hair stays healthy and happy.”
In the video posted to her TikTok account, she continued: “Never put your hair up when it’s wet.”
“I know this is hard when you just get out of the pool, or you just get out of the ocean and you want to throw your hair up because it’s crazy and it’s nasty.
“[But] let it air dry. It is very important not to put your hair up when it’s wet.
“It’s most vulnerable in this state.”
But the TikToker told her 23.9k followers that was only the start of things on her list to remember.
In the video titled ‘hair safety rules for the summer,’ @organizedchaos522 also spoke of the importance of using two products.
Firstly, she said everyone should have a hair protect spray in their cupboard, even when you don’t think you have to.
She explained: “Never leave your house without heat protecting your hair.
“This is like sunscreen for your skin – even if you don’t use a flat iron or a curling iron on your hair, the sun is still heat and can give you heat damage.
“So make sure you always have that in your hair no matter what.”
While her third strict rule was to invest in an accessory that will come in handy whenever the sun makes an appearance.
She said: “Number three – get a big floppy hat.
“These protect your hair from the sun because it keeps it very shaded.”
She then added: “And they are so cute, so why not, you know?”
