What summer hair routine should you adopt?
In summer, hair is put to the test: sea salt, UV rays, pool chlorine, sand… so many aggressions that dry out and weaken it. To preserve its vitality, it is important to understand your hair’s needs and adopt the right habits throughout the day.
Which morning hair routine should you follow?
In the morning, start your hair routine by detangling your hair. But be careful: it’s important to choose a brush suited to your hair type.
If your hair lacks hydration, opt for La Bonne Brosse’s N.01 boar bristle brush. Rich in keratin, boar bristles naturally hydrate and nourish the hair. They also collect sebum and distribute it throughout the hair, which helps protect and hydrate the fiber, and reduces the need for frequent shampooing.
If you have textured hair, choose a vegan nylon brush capable of detangling curly, thick, or coily hair.
The N.04 detangling brush is suitable for all hair types. For very thick or textured hair, prefer the N.07 stimulating brush. With its two-height bristles, it can penetrate the entire hair for effective detangling.
These two detangling brushes also provide a stimulating scalp massage, which promotes microcirculation and thus hair growth.
Moreover, these brushes are ideal for summer use, because unlike boar bristle brushes, nylon brushes can be used on wet hair. They are therefore perfect for detangling your hair after swimming.
The second step of your morning routine is to hydrate and protect your hair fiber with Cair's detangling mist or hydrating oil.
Cair’s detangling mist is a leave-in treatment that replaces conditioner. It protects the hair fiber from pollution and heat by forming a non-occlusive film around it. Additionally, its formula contains 51% active waters, giving it hydrating and strengthening properties.
This leave-in treatment also makes detangling easier, improves styling, and adds softness and volume.
Cair’s sun oil is ideal for protecting hair from UV rays that dry out and weaken the hair fiber, and that promote split ends. This hair oil forms a natural shield that filters UV rays. It also deeply hydrates the hair thanks to its complex of fermented oils and protects it from premature aging.
This protective sun oil can be used on both dry and damp hair after swimming, providing continuous protection throughout the day.
Tips: In summer, some hairstyles offer better UV protection. This is especially true of braids, buns, or styles with a scarf or hat, for example.
How should I care for my hair in the evening?
The morning routine prepares and protects your hair for the day, but it’s just as essential to adopt an evening routine to cleanse, repair, and nourish the hair fiber.
After a day in the sun, it’s important to wash your hair to remove salt, chlorine, or sweat residues that are harsh on your hair.
Use a gentle shampoo that won’t irritate your scalp or hair fiber.
Cair’s sulfate and silicone-free shampoo gently cleanses while providing maximum hydration thanks to its hyaluronic acid formula.
Free from silicone and sulfates, it leaves no residue that could suffocate the fiber. Your hair is thus strengthened and hydrated.
However, be careful not to wash your hair too frequently, as this can have the opposite effect and dry it out.
In summer, since hair tends to be more fragile and dry, it’s important to apply a hydrating mask once or twice a week.
Cair’s repairing hair mask is a powerful treatment enriched with rice water, known for its regenerating properties. It repairs and deeply nourishes the hair fiber. For enhanced hydration, its formula also contains hyaluronic acid, capable of retaining up to 1000 times its weight in water.
This repairing treatment also fights hair loss while strengthening the keratin structure, for visibly stronger and healthier hair.
Finally, to complete your routine, apply the protective sun oil to damp or dry hair. For short or fine hair, 1 to 2 drops are enough. For long or thick hair, at least 3 drops are necessary.
