Summer is right around the corner, and we're all excited to hit the pool or take a dip in the ocean. But as much as we love summer, the chlorine in pools and salt in the ocean can be harsh on our hair. While we often remember to take care of our skin during this season, we tend to forget about our hair. Luckily, Fiona has some fantastic tips to help you keep your hair healthy all summer long.
It’s important to keep your hair and scalp healthy, especially during summer season. After twenty years in the hairstyling business, Fiona knows well how to take care of your hair and she loves to share her tips for summer:
Broccoli Seed Oil is the answer
During summer you’re probably visiting the beach or swimming pool quite often. After one of those summer days your hair feels very dry, which means it needs a good moisturizer to repair the hair and scalp. Fiona created the Moisture & Balance Haircare, which has the key ingredient Broccoli Seed Oil. This protects the hair and scalp from inside and outside, it protects your hair for the UV-radiation, it lets your hair shine again and gives volume without your hair getting greasy. This Haircare line is all your hair and scalp needs after a day in sun, ocean and poolside. Press here to buy the Moisture & Balance Shampoo and/or Conditioner.
Use the right tool
Using the right comb for your hair is such a game changer especially during summer. Comb your hair with a wide tooth comb instead of a brush, which makes your hair more shiny. That shine is important, because the sun shines so brightly that your color could be affected, especially when you have dyed your hair. Fiona’s tip is to use the Gold Comb: the comb is not statically charged, so your hair gets less tangles and an extra shine. Press here to buy the Gold Comb.
Give your hair a holiday too!
Fiona is very clear about it: your hair needs a holiday too! When you’re going on a holiday, take it easy when It comes to heat-tools. Limit the use of hair straighteners, curlers and blow dryers to a minimum. Your hair already has to endure quite a bit of heat when you’re on a warm destination. Do you still want a chic hairstyle with volume, but without using heat-tools? Use our No1 Hairpin for the most luxurious hairstyles. Press here to shop the Nº1 Hairpin.
Leave your conditioner in
If your hair hair feels dry at the ends, which you can check by feeling if your ends are dry, it’s a good idea to leave a little bit of conditioner on the ends of your hair. Leave it in overnight and rinse off the next day. our hair will feel soft and shiny again!
