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

Not all of us love to take 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 ”. Look, some hair capsules? You hadn't thought of the hair dietary supplement!

That's good, we tell you everything about our hair capsules so that hair and summer rhyme with harmony.

A. Solar effect on hair

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

If we do it in advance and anticipate external attacks, if we repair the hair before exposing it we take less risk of having weakened hair >, damaged and having scales.

B. Natural lightener

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

C. How to protect your locks from the damage of the sun while enjoying its benefits?

How to strengthen your hair and guarantee anti-hair loss action?

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

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

There are keratin shampoos and conditioners, which will help you discipline your hair when styling.

On the other hand, to obtain deep action and repair the fiber at its root, you must act from the inside. This is the interest of the food supplement: affecting 80% of our cells, where treatments to be applied externally only reach 20%.

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

Our keratin is very effective because we extract the active molecule: cynatine, using a very efficient biotechnological extraction process. This formula makes your hair shiny and strong, and it's much more effective than egg yolk hair masks!

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

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

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

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