Summer Hair Care

Although the summer, sun, beach and sea may be good for our soul, they’re not great for our hair so we need to know exactly how to protect it. We’ve got a couple of brilliant tips for you, that can help to ensure that your hair will come back from holiday just as refreshed as you are yourself.

GET YOUR SUMMER HEADWEAR OUT

Protect your hair the best you can against direct exposure to the sun. Elegant hats, sporty caps and stylish hair wraps aren’t just good for your hair and head, they also add the finishing touch to your summer outfit. Wear a head covering to protect your crowning glory against UV rays, and keep split ends, colour fading and drying out at bay.

EASY BREEZY BEACH HAIRDOS

It’s hot, we’re sweating, and we’re covered from top to toe in sunscreen – wearing our hair loose can be a real pain. The solution: loosely plaited hairstyles, a ponytail, or up-dos. Sweet beach hairdos will not only stop your hair annoying you, they also reduce the surface area that the sun can attack, so you’ll be limiting potential damage.

At the beach, we prefer to dispense with metal hair accessories because they heat up too much. Big clips, colourful slides and playful hairbands will round off your beach look to perfection.

DON’T FORGET YOUR PARTING

Let’s suppose you don’t like sunhats or plaited hairdos, and you prefer to let your locks flow free even at peak temperatures. In that case, you should move your parting repeatedly, to protect your scalp from sunburn. Precisely-applied sunscreen can also prevent painful sunburn on your scalp.

A TIP-TOP IDEA: GO TO THE HAIRDRESSER BEFORE YOUR HOLIDAY

Before going on holiday, pay a visit to your hairdresser. Get the tips trimmed to avoid the split ends that can be caused by UV rays and sea water. Another advantage: your hair will look fantastic in your holiday photos!

PUT OFF COLOURING YOUR HAIR UNTIL AUTUMN

A new hair colour before going on holiday – no, thanks! Sun and water can have an effect on the colour intensity and accelerate bleaching.

But if you insist on giving your hair a new colour in hot and sunny summer, make sure that it’s also getting enough nourishment. To prevent the colour from bleaching out too much, we recommend our FRESH hair treatment. This gives you a special heat-and-colour protection complex derived from bamboo and turkey tail fungus. The inchi oil in FRESH hair treatment makes your hair soft and supple.

AND AFTER SWIMMING? RINSE YOUR HAIR WITH FRESH WATER

Before diving in, moisten your hair first. The altered structure will partially prevent the absorption of chlorine and salt. Also rinse your hair thoroughly each time you’ve been for a dip in the sea or the pool – this will remove sand, salt and chlorine, preventing additional damage and drying out. Finally, let your hair dry naturally and tie it up loosely. Try to avoid excessively hot hairdryers and drying your hair by rubbing it with a towel.

DRINKING LOTS OF FLUID FOR BEAUTIFUL HAIR?

Drinking enough water is an absolute must – particularly in summer. Did you know that our hair is around 10 per cent water? If we don’t drink enough, the body extracts water from less important parts of the body, and channels it to our vital organs. Regular fluid intake keeps our hair looking great, and can also stimulate hair growth.

HAIR CARE ROUTINE FOR THE SUMMER

Last but definitely not least – hair care! We recommend a thorough hair care routine with gentle hair care products because mild, long-lasting care is particularly important in summer when our hair is exposed to so many different harmful influences.

With FRESH shampoo you have a mild yet thorough hair care product that leaves your hair feeling pleasantly light. Thanks to the combination of selected ingredients in the NB7 complex, the scalp’s natural microbiome is supported and the formation of a natural film on the hair is promoted, making it look shinier and softer.

FRESH hair treatment is a 4-in-1 performance hair balm that gives you perfectly groomed, shiny hair. Whether you use it on wet or dry hair, as a mask, or for grooming in between times, the natural ingredients provide additional protection thanks to a heat-and-colour protection complex, and reduce static.

Boost your inner and outer beauty with CAPS beauty & hair. Full of natural vital substances such as SOD from melon extract and copper from buckwheat germ powder, they give you a fresher complexion, stronger hair, firmer connective tissue, and resilient nails, so these capsules are the perfect companion whatever time of the year.
