Summer hair special: Treatments, coloring and care in the sun

Summer is divine, but it’s often hard on our hair. Between the sun, the salt of the sea and the chlorine of swimming pools, your hair needs special attention. Here’s a guide to keeping your hair healthy all summer long.c

Sun Protection for Hair

Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from UV rays. Hair products with UV filters prevent sun damage. Opt for :

• Protective sprays

Leonor Greyl Sérum de Soie Sublimateur: This iconic, preservative-free treatment immediately nourishes and softens fine, dry hair, while offering anti-frizz action and protection against sun, humidity and frizz.

• Hair oils

They moisturize and protect at the same time. Kérastase Soleil Huile Sirène: This two-phase oil enriched with Babassu oil protects hair from UV rays while offering a light, nourishing “beach waves” texture, with a fragrance of jasmine and tuberose for incomparable summer shine.

• Hair masks

Use a moisturizing mask once or twice a week.

Summer coloring

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with lighter colors or sunny highlights. However, it’s important to protect and maintain color:

• Ammonia-free colorants

Less aggressive on the hair, they help maintain the health of your hair. Inoa Permanent Haircolor by L’Oréal Professionnel: Ammonia-free, this color respects the hair fiber and delivers long-lasting, radiant color.

• Shampoos and conditioners for color-treated hairc

They preserve color vibrancy and prevent discoloration caused by sun and water.

Post-Pool and Sea Care

Chlorine and salt can cause serious damage. Here’s how to protect your hair after a swim:

• Rinse with clear water

Rinse hair immediately after swimming to remove salt and chlorine residues, and use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week to deep cleanse and remove chemical build-up. Dessange Symbio Sun Shampoo: Formulated with macadamia oil, this shampoo deeply cleanses hair exposed to the sun, removing salt, chlorine and sun products while preserving the hair fiber. Hair is nourished, moisturized, soft and shiny, with 96% ingredients of natural origin, a summer ally.

General Care Advice

A few simple practices can make a big difference to the health of your hair :c

• Dry your hair with care

When it comes to using hair dryers, straightening irons and curling irons, make the right choice for those that won’t damage hair fibers. Hair specialist Babyliss offers the ideal selection for gentle drying and smoothing without damaging hair.

• Trim the tips regularly

To prevent and eliminate split ends, make light cuts every 6 to 8 weeks.

• Use soft brushes

A natural bristle brush or wide-tooth comb reduces breakage and tangles. Tangle Teezer The Original: Perfect for gently detangling wet or dry hair, reducing breakage and tangles.c
