SOS (damaged) hair after summer: products and haircuts
The guide for those who see dry and dull hair after the holidays
September 3rd, 2021
Hair scrambled by the sun and salt? The return SOS wants the hair to be repaired and revitalized. Because summer is beautiful, but, unfortunately, the sea water and the chlorine from the swimming pool dry the hair, dehydrate it and make it sinful of shine. So, together with good memories, we take home that typically "straw-colored" texture that makes hair look damaged. Especially the treated and bleached ones. But how to intervene? Often it is possible to intervene with ad hoc products, in other cases the solution is to give a nice cut.
Nature comes to the rescue: rose water hydrates, geranium extract gives a boost, coconut oil brightens and regenerates, panthenol strengthens cuticles, and shea butter deeply nourishes. So here is the ultimate guide to restoring the beauty of your hair.
For treated hair, with lightening, bleaching or streaks
Frequent baths and too much exposure to the sun cause the hair to lose shine and hydration, also opening the cuticles and making them feel extremely dry. Polyphenols help with their action that creates a protective barrier of color shine, while carbohydrate proteins, being rich in vitamin C, have an antioxidant action. Also excellent is keratin, a protein already present in the hair which, if strengthened with a shampoo or an ad hoc conditioner, has the power to strengthen and make the lengths shine. Those who wash their hair every day, on the other hand, will have to opt for products based on olive or argan oil, with a strong nourishing power that prevents the hair shaft from breaking.
The fall haircut is perfect to get rid of damaged ends
The layered haircut, in an updated version, is soft and perfectly frames your face shape. Ideal for refreshing your look without overdoing it, it is the favorite of the season because it respects the lengths while eliminating split ends. The wolfcut, shag and mullet are also beautiful, but for those who want to modernize without too many changes, a climb to the Rachel of Friends is suitable for "cleaning" without being too radical. It is also worn with a fringe, a lob or a bob.
The importance of oils
A few drops morning and evening are enough, to be warmed up in your hands, to see your hair shinier, nourished, healthy and disciplined. It can be used at will, after washing or before styling, or even before going to bed. Applied on the tips, it prevents them from falling out and polishes them on all lengths. Also try it in addition to the hair mask, because it disciplines and emphasizes the natural texture of the hair. And finally, tie your hair with silk scrunchies or sleep on a silk pillow.
