Ah, summer is finally here and it couldn't make us happier. That time of year when we get to enjoy nature even more under the warm sun and the beautiful weather! When that time comes, it's time to adapt your beauty routine by adding a quality sunscreen, a lighter moisturizer, an after sun balm... So why shouldn't we do the same with our beautiful hair? In this article, you'll find our essentials and tips for a successful summer hair routine with the wonderful sun range from Kérastase.
Why is it important to protect your hair from the sun?
First, here's why it's important to protect your hair during prolonged exposure to the sun. The sun is so powerful that it can degrade the first layer of the hair fiber, which means that it is less protected and that the aggressions can attack the hair cuticles. So, if we don't protect our hair, the UV rays will be able to penetrate directly into our hair and thus promote intense dryness, even breakage... Which we really don't want!
Kerastase Soleil - Your best friend against the sun
If you haven't heard, we recently entered the Kérastase products at the exhibition Blonnoir and we are completely in love. The products are luxurious, quality, but most importantly, they are specialized and effective for many targeted needs. Like the sun range from Kérastase, which is a real gold mine for healthy and protected hair all summer long! Here are the different products of the sun range :
- The After-Sun Bath
The after-Sun bath is a shampoo that contains coconut water and UV filters to protect against sun damage while removing chlorine, sand and salt water residue. Plus, it smells divine! You'll feel like a goddess after washing your hair with this ultra-moisturizing shampoo.
- The After-Sun Mask
This after-Sun Mask will restore suppleness to your hair while deeply moisturizing it. It is a real boost and will be your ally of choice to protect your hair from UV rays while regenerating your hair fiber. It is suitable for all hair types, but especially for normal to thick hair, because it is ultra nourishing!
- Siren Oil
Mermaid oil is definitely one of our favorites of the line. It's more of a moisturizing oil-based mist, which is the perfect texture for summer without being too heavy! It will restore texture to your hair while protecting it from sun damage. If you have curls, it will simply soften them and give you an effortless beach look!
- The sublime UV cream
When we talk about hair protection during exposure to the sun, it is there that the sublime UV cream can make all the difference! This divine smelling cream will moisturize your hair before exposure to the sun while protecting it from damage thanks to the UV filters contained in the product. We love to apply it after our sunscreen, it's a great addition to our summer routine and our hair thanks us a lot!
More tips for healthy hair all summer long!
- Protect your hair even more by adding a scarf or hat. Scarves are the trendy accessory for summer 2022, so you'll look great while protecting your hair from the sun. It's a win-win!
- Try not to get your hair too wet in the pool or the sea. We know it's so pleasant and refreshing, but it could seriously dry out your hair and even damage it in the long run. If you do decide to give in, the important thing is to wash your hair well with a good shampoo (like the after-Sun bath) as soon as your swim is over to remove as much salt or chlorine as possible!
- Tie your lengths so that they are as little exposed to the sun as possible.
Hopefully this has given you lots of tips on how to adapt your summer hair routine. To obtain the products of the sun range, you can come and see us at Blonnoir salon located in St-Lambert or the order online right here. We wish you a great summer!
