Hair and sun: how to prepare and repair your hair?

We all love taking care of our hair. With summer approaching, we often dream of long, dreamy hair. So, do we cut it? Do we not cut it? Hair and sun, is it a good idea?

We want them long but we have dry and split ends... We also ask our hairdresser and our loved ones if they have any magical products to recommend to us.

Then you head to your best friend: Google, and you type: “sun hair”. Hey, some hair capsules? You hadn't thought about hair supplements!

That's perfect, we're telling you everything about our hair capsules so that hair and summer rhyme with harmony.

A. Solar effect on the hair

Hair and sun does not always mean damaging your hair, bleaching your blond hair, or having to cut it at the start of the school year.

If you start early and anticipate external aggressions, if you repair the hair before exposing it, you take fewer risks of having weakened, damaged hair and having scales.

B. Natural brightener

The sun can act as a natural lightener for hair, especially for blonde hair. However, this exposure can also weaken it.

C. How to protect your hair strands from the harmful effects of the sun while enjoying its benefits?

How to strengthen your hair and ensure an anti-hair loss effect?

The raw material of hair is keratin. It is produced by our hair bulb from the following elements: B vitamins, sulfur-containing amino acids, trace elements...

Keratin weaves our fiber but also cements our hair to its bulb. It fills the scales and coats the hair from root to tip.

There are keratin shampoos and conditioners that will help you tame your hair when styling.

On the other hand, to achieve a deep action and repair the fiber at its root, it is necessary to act from within. This is the benefit of the dietary supplement: reaching 80% of our cells, where external treatments only reach 20%.

The active ingredients contained in the hair capsules will travel through the bloodstream and reach the bulb to provide it with all the nutrients it needs.

Our Keratin Absolute contains pure keratin, derived from black sheep wool. Our keratin is very effective because we extract the active molecule: cynatine, thanks to a highly efficient biotechnological extraction process. This formula makes your hair shiny and strong, and it is much more effective than hair masks with egg yolk!

This Absolu is suitable for all hair types. It is very popular with dry hair and kinky hair because this type of waves needs to be coated and tamed. With this formula, hair and summer will rhyme with serenity.

D. Does exposure to the sun damage the hair?

The sun can cause damage to the hair, notably by drying it out and making it more fragile. It is therefore essential to take measures to protect the hair from UV rays.

E. The benefits of keratin-based dietary supplements

Keratin-based dietary supplements, such as Absolu de Kératine, offer several benefits for hair. 

They can improve the internal structure of the hair, making it more resistant to external aggressions such as UV rays, salt, and chlorine. 

Keratin also helps maintain optimal hydration, thus preventing hair from becoming dry and brittle. Additionally, dietary supplements help nourish the hair from within, ensuring healthy and vigorous growth.

F. Why choose D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS?

With its scientific expertise and premium ingredients, D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS stands out for innovative and effective formulas.

B. Hair protection

1. Protection for colored hair

Colored hair requires special care, especially in summer. Using specific products to protect the color and prevent it from fading due to the sun is crucial.

2. How to protect hair strands from the sun?

Here are some reminders and tips on hair care to combine beautiful hair and summer:

First of all, a look back at the classic of our routines: the oil bath. This involves creating a hair oil made from several sources of oils: coconut oil, jojoba oil, macadamia oil, avocado oil, ylang-ylang, hazelnut, etc.

All these compounds to obtain a vegetable oil that constitutes your elixir for the summer. These different oils have different virtues which, combined in an oil bath, will act in synergy to enhance your hair.

If we follow this duo of treatments during the summer and before, we will minimize the damage to our hair in the summer.

3. Protection and hydration

In addition to oil baths, protective sprays can be used to form a barrier against UV rays. These sprays, often enriched with sunscreens and moisturizing agents, help maintain hair hydration while protecting it from external aggressions. 

For maximum protection, it is recommended to reapply every two hours when sun exposure is prolonged.

C. Hair sunscreen care

Since we love you at D-LAB, we won't stop there: if despite our advice, your hair gets damaged this summer, and hair and summer still didn't get along well in your case, then we'll tell you everything about how to repair your hair after summer.

D. Which dietary supplements can strengthen hair against sun damage?

Dietary supplements like Keratin Absolute and the Growth Complex are ideal for strengthening hair against sun damage. They provide the necessary nutrients to keep hair strong and shiny.

Coming back from vacation, we're already depressed enough, we certainly don't want to add another worry with white hair, damaged hair, or split ends.

First, if it is really necessary, you can start by cutting what is no longer beautiful at the hairdresser. Then, to maintain our newly revitalized hair, you need to practice the right actions:

A. Internal action:

1. Protect the strands from the sun

Continue the treatments of Absolu de Kératine and the Growth Complex to ensure weaving of high-quality hair fiber. Add to this the Microcirculation Detox for an anti-dandruff action and avoid drying out your scalp as well as itching.

2. Protect your strands from chlorine

Chlorine can be very harsh on hair. It is therefore recommended to rinse hair with clear water after each swim and to use specific products to protect it.

3. Strengthen hair nutrition

To go further in repair, it is crucial to strengthen hair nutrition with supplements rich in biotin, zinc, and B vitamins. These nutrients work from within to support hair growth and strength.

5. What are the effects of UV rays on hair health?

UV rays can damage the hair structure, making it more fragile and prone to breakage. It is therefore essential to use sun protection products for the hair.

6. Masks and moisturizing treatments

After summer, it is essential to deeply rehydrate the hair fiber. Using masks and moisturizing treatments made from natural ingredients like argan, aloe vera, or shea butter can help restore hydration and flexibility to the hair. Applying these treatments once or twice a week can make a big difference.

7. Avoid heating devices

Limiting the use of heating devices such as hair dryers, straighteners, or curling irons can also help prevent further damage. Let hair dry naturally as much as possible to minimize thermal stress.

Thanks to our hair supplement treatments, you regain the desired hair volume, your hair regains all its health and becomes as strong and shiny as before this massive exposure to the sun and all those factors deteriorating your hair beauty.

A. Best sun protection for hair

For optimal protection, it is recommended to use products containing UV filters and to wear a hat or scarf to protect the hair from the sun. These accessories help avoid prolonged direct exposure, thereby reducing the risk of drying out and discoloration.

Additionally, applying a spray or hair oil with UV protection can create an extra barrier against external aggressions. Formulations enriched with antioxidants help combat free radicals generated by sun exposure.

B. Hair protection against pool chlorine

Chlorine can be very harsh on hair. It is therefore recommended to rinse hair with clear water after each swim and to use specific products to protect it. Before diving in, applying a balm or protective oil can create a waterproof layer that limits chlorine absorption.

Furthermore, the use of a swim cap is highly recommended to minimize contact with chlorinated water. Post-swim care, such as moisturizing masks, is essential to restore hydration and suppleness to the hair.

C. Hair protection for the beach

At the beach, hair is exposed to sun, salt, and wind. Using protective products and rinsing them with fresh water after each swim is essential to maintain their health. Salt can dehydrate hair, making it brittle and dull.

To counter these effects, applying a leave-in conditioner or a moisturizing spray can help maintain hydration. Light hair oils can also protect the hair while adding shine.

D. Protection for the sea and the pool

1. Sulfate-free protection for the sea and the pool

Sulfate-free products are recommended to protect hair from the drying effects of salt and chlorine. Sulfates can be harsh on the hair fiber, especially when the hair is already weakened by exposure to the sun and seawater.

Choosing sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners helps preserve the natural hydration of the hair and avoid scalp irritation.

2. Do UV rays damage the hair?

UV rays can damage the hair structure, making it more fragile and prone to breakage. It is therefore essential to use hair sunscreen products. These products often contain nourishing ingredients that strengthen the hair fiber while protecting it from harmful rays.

By incorporating these practices into your summer routine, you ensure your hair is fully protected against the various harsh elements of the season. Now that you know everything, grab your baskets, and we hope to see you happy with your hair, well-prepared, and equipped with your treatments for the summer!

Hair and summer will no longer be oxymorons but rather a beautiful synergy.
