Long days basking in the sun, cool salt water and chlorine can really damage your tresses. We’ve complied eight summer hair essentials that will keep your locks looking healthy and glossy, as well as making you look effortlessly stylish this summer.
TANGLE TEEZER AQUA SPLASH DETANGLING HAIRBRUSH –
This miracle hair product is popular all over the globe. Use it in or out the shower, the soft bristles are flexible so they bend with hair to detangle it rather than ripping through it. Stash it in your beach bag for poolside grooming or work it into your summer air-drying routine. We just love this product!
OUAI TREATMENT MASK –
This thick conditioning mask deeply hydrates hair and protects colour. Tamarind-seed extract seals moisture into hair, keratin strengthens strands and artichoke-leaf extract protects from UV rays, making for the perfect summer hair indulgence.
SACHAJUAN HAIR AFTER SUN –
Aloe vera gel is to sunburns what this cream is to sun-baked hair. Apply this product on damp hair after sun exposure to rehabilitate it. Dehydrated, dull hair will be transformed to nourished, soft tresses. You can rinse it out or leave it in for more intense repair.
TIGI BED HEAD TOTALLY BEACHIN’ CLEANSING JELLY SHAMPOO –
A buildup of products and humidity don’t mix well. A very small dose of this shampoo cuts through grease and grime to refresh hair and restore shine. The gel-like formula also happens to smell like a mix of salt water and a piña colada.
EUGENIA KIM STRAW HAT –
Eugenia Kim’s classic straw sunhat is decorated with royal-blue sequins that spell out a playful ‘Wish you were here’ message. Perfect for sheltering your scalp and hair from heat of the midday sun and it’s so gorgeous you can wear it all day.
GHD WHITE PLATINUM STYLER –
If you are going to use a hot hair tool, especially during summer, this is the one to use. It’s a rapid-heating, damage-minimising, multitasking piece of equipment, which straightens and curls tresses too. It fully heats up in just 20 seconds and easily glides through hair quickly. It also distributes heat more evenly and maintains a temperature of 365 degrees (that’s cooler than most other tools on the market), so it’s less damaging and great for long summer nights that turn into early mornings!
GUCCI HEADBAND –
This floral-print silk-satin headband will not only protect hair for the sun but it also keeps you looking on-trend with a stylish ‘70s-vibe. The gorgeous twist-front headband is printed with painterly blooms and looks chic as a hair accessory.
BUMBLE & BUMBLE DON’T BLOW IT –
Ideal for great hair days without heat or hassle. It’s a creme that creates an air-dried look with a product-free feel. Polymers and plant-based conditioners enhance texture and body, whilst UVA and UVB filters protect against the damaging effects of the sun.
