Holidays are synonymous with relaxation, sun, beach and swimming pool. But after these moments of pleasure, your hair can show signs of fatigue: it becomes dry, dull, brittle or even dehydrated. Don't panic! Here are our best tips for pampering your hair and revitalizing it after the holidays.
1. Damage assessment
Before starting any hair treatment, it is essential to understand the condition of your hair. Is it dry, brittle, or has it lost its shine? This assessment will help you determine the best care for your hair's needs. If your hair is very damaged, it may be helpful to consult a professional for personalized advice.
2. Deep hydration
The sun, sea salt and chlorine from the pool dry out hair a lot. To restore its moisture, you can use various moisturizing products such as masks, serums or leave-in treatments.
We can only recommend the moisturizing range from Authentic Beauty Concept . It consists of a shampoo , a mask , a conditioner and several leave-in treatments. You will definitely find the product(s) that suit you!
Bonus Tip:
Apply the hair mask to damp hair and leave under a warm towel for optimal penetration of nutrients.
3. Repair in depth
After the holidays, it is recommended to change your usual and daily shampoo for a richer shampoo with more concentrated active ingredients in order to repair your hair fiber in depth. For example, you can opt for Tokio Inkarami products. Rich in keratin, they will moisturize, repair and regenerate your hair fiber.
If you have colored and/or bleached hair, you can also opt for Olaplex brand products. This is THE reference for damaged and very damaged hair in order to restore strength and shine.
4. Cut off damaged ends
If your ends are split and damaged, a little trim is in order. Removing damaged ends will encourage healthy hair growth and make your hair look stronger and shinier. Don't be afraid to trim, even a few inches can make a big difference!
5. Avoid heating appliances
After prolonged exposure to the sun, hair is often more fragile and sensitive to heat. Minimize the use of hair dryers, straighteners, or curling irons. If you cannot avoid their use, always apply a heat protectant spray to minimize heat damage. We can recommend various heat protectants in our "heat protectants" collection.
6. Protect your Hair
To strengthen your hair after the holidays, remember to protect it from external aggressions. Use light hair oils or leave-in treatments to create a barrier against pollution and UV rays. Even in autumn and winter, your hair needs to be protected from UV rays and the cold, which can dehydrate your hair. We can recommend various products in our "UV protectors" and "serums" collection.
7. Eat a healthy diet
The condition of your hair is often a reflection of your inner health. After the holidays, it is important to follow a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Eat foods rich in protein (such as eggs and fish), iron (spinach, lentils) and essential fatty acids (avocado, nuts) to strengthen your hair from the inside out.
8. Consult your hairdresser
If your hair remains very damaged despite your efforts, do not hesitate to consult a hair expert. A hairdresser or dermatologist can offer you specific treatments, such as professional salon treatments, keratin treatments or suitable food supplements.
9. Stay consistent with your skincare routine
Finally, remember that the key to healthy hair is consistency. Adopt a care routine that is tailored to your needs and stick to it scrupulously. Regular care, even simple ones, can do wonders for the health of your hair in the long run.
