Protecting our hair whether we're at home, away or on a stay-cation, is crucial to prevent it from becoming dull, dry and brittle.

Try to rinse or wash your hair straight after swimming in the sea or pool with fresh, clean water. Use a gentle cleansing, moisturising formulalike SU Hair & Body Wash (this product is designed for post-sun use). As well as gently eliminating salt, chlorine and sand, it offers an antioxidant action and soothes the effects of sun exposure, leaving hair hydrated and soft. This is one of the easiest summer hair care tips we can give you! 


Top tip: Using a single product for hair and body is convenient, especially when you need to limit what you pack for a trip away.

Once or twice a week, apply a regenerative mask that helps revitalise hair after stress caused by sun, salt water and chlorine exposure, detangling it and restoring softness and shine. OurSU Hair Maskwill help refresh and provides antioxidant action.

GENTLE DRYING

After washing hair, treat strands with care: avoid wringing your hair or rubbing roughly with a towel. Try using a soft cotton t-shirt instead, gently patting hair to absorb some moisture. Letting hair dry naturally as often as possible and limiting the use of heat tools like straighteners -even using a lower heat setting on your hair drier will help avoid extra stress on your hair!

TRY WEARING A BANDANA

Summer Haircare Mistakes to Avoid

  • Skip treatments right before going on holiday- Chemical hair treatments like bleaching can weaken and sensitise hair, and sun exposure can effect your colour: instead, book it as a treat for post-holiday.
  • Don't leave your hair down - It's not just a matter of convenience: if you have long hair it can be best to keep it tied up, just not too tightly. Ponytails, buns or braids help defend the scalp from burning and prevent hair from additional damage or tangles.
  • Skip the heat - Give your hair a break from its normal routine, embrace and enhance your natural texture! Hair primers are great leave-in treatments, simply spritz and comb through strands after washing for added protection and hydration while you air-dry.
