The sun, heat, humidity, sea and chlorine are all factors that attack our hair and can cause irreversible damage.

Our tips for maintaining your hair in the summer
Between the sun, the sea, the swimming pool, summer is a pivotal period for our hair and we all dread the straw effect! To avoid returning from a catastrophic vacation that forces you to cut the ends and try by all means to repair the split ends, there are solutions to protect your hair during the summer to have beautiful hair in all seasons!
How not to damage your hair because of chlorine ?
In summer, we love lounging by the pool and cooling off by taking regular baths! But beware, chlorine is an aggressive chemical for the hair. Luckily, there are a few tricks to keep your hair from suffering too much from chlorine exposure.
Indeed, chlorine is not your hair's best friend, it dries out the hair fiber by depriving it of its natural sebum and makes the hair dry. Chlorine can also play a role in the color of the hair, if the latter is very damaged because of the swimming pool, the hair is then much finer and more porous, i.e. it absorbs much more quickly (but are particularly prone to dehydration). In the water of the swimming pool we sometimes find oxidized metals, it is because of these metals that light hair sometimes turns to greenish reflections.
Our tips for protecting your hair from chlorine:
- Hydrate your lengths as much as possible with anti-dehydration products.
- We prefer oils that will restore the hydrolipidic barrier and will form a shield to prevent water from escaping.
- Rinse your hair with clean water directly after swimming to remove some of the chlorine remaining on the hair.
- We opt for a gentle and nourishing hair routine.
How to take care of your hair in the sun?
If you are exposed to the sun, it is important to take care of your hair to prevent it from drying out and breaking. Here are some tips for taking care of your hair in the sun:
- Just as the skin needs protection against the sun thanks to sunscreen, the hair also needs to be protected from UV rays. We opt for an anti-UV treatment specially formulated to take care of the hair in the sun. If your hair is straight to wavy, opt for light-textured treatments like the Summer Protect Cut By Fred spray. For curly to frizzy hair, oils that nourish the hair fiber are preferred, such as Acorelle protective hair sun oil. Practical sprays to slip into the beach bag!
- We use a repairing mask after a day of exposure to take care of the hair before it is damaged.
How to protect your hair from the beach and sea water?
Unsurprisingly, it's the seawater saltthat dries out and attacks the hair. We also use a protective care before going to bathe and as for the swimming pool we rinse our hair with fresh water after swimming to eliminate all salt residues. Moisturize your hair with appropriate care and if your hair is colored or very fragile, don't resign to oil baths based on castor, jojoba or coconut oilwhich will nourish the hair in depth and maintain the water in the hydrolipidic film.
