BEAUTY TIPS FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL HAIR CARE

For most of us, summer vacations mean lounging, sunbathing and swimming in the ocean. While these simple pleasures of life help to relieve the stress accumulated during the year, they are also aggressive on the hair. Both at the beach and in the pool, our hair is exposed to a variety of external aggressors: sea water, chlorine, wind, sand, etc.

Having damaged hair after the vacations shouldn’t come as a surprise, but the next step is to take care of it so that it’s beautiful for the start of the new school year!

What should you do to repair damaged hair after the vacations?

Here are a few care ideas to consider:

Vegetable oil bath

There’s nothing like an oil bath to repair dull, brittle hair. In fact, you can trim damaged ends to give them a second wind, but for a satisfactory result, it’s advisable to treat them with vegetable oils that help strengthen and coat the hair fiber. This treatment also guarantees healthy hair and rapid regrowth, thanks to the fatty acids and ceramides contained in plant oils. The key is to pay close attention to your hair’s needs and choose the right type of oil for your hair type. The nourishing oils of the Tsara range, for example, have been specifically formulated to provide intense nutrition for dry, brittle hair, including: shea oil, jojoba oil and argan oil.

Making a vegetable oil bath is simple and easy. You can find all our advice in this article.

Hair detox

Hair detox is one of the best ways to care for damaged hair: it gently repairs the hair by ridding it of impurities accumulated from products and external aggressions such as pollution and dust….

It is also useful for rebalancing and boosting scalp microcirculation and is particularly effective for getting rid of scales caused by dandruff.

The process is quite simple: simply apply a mask or scrub based on baking soda, cinnamon powder and a little olive oil to the scalp and lengths before rinsing and shampooing. The green clay purifying mask is also a good ingredient for detoxifying your hair. The frequency of treatment depends on the condition of your hair. Feel free to detoxify your hair once or twice a month, depending on your needs. To find out more about hair detoxification and the products to use, read this article.

The rehydration cure

Like the skin, the body and hair can become dehydrated. This is one of the effects of prolonged exposure to the sun and sea. Be careful not to confuse it with capillary dryness, as dehydration means that the hair is lacking water. The result is frizz and dullness.

It’s therefore advisable to apply a rehydrating skin care product at least once a week when you return from vacation. Recommended products include aloe vera gel, rich in vitamins and trace elements, and organic vegetable glycerine, as well as hydrolyzed rice proteins to protect the hair cuticle. For effective rehydration, we recommend organic products containing moisturizing active ingredients. Clean, ready-to-use moisturizing hair masks are also ideal for this purpose.

Food supplements

Many experts stress the importance of diet in maintaining a healthy body. This also applies to hair, which can be cared for with foods rich in trace elements, vitamins and amino acids. You can provide your hair with all the elements it needs by taking a course of dietary supplements. Among the most suitable are :

• Brewer’s yeast, to combat hair loss,
• Spirulina, rich in vitamin B12, for brittle, dry hair
• Royal jelly, which stimulates hair growth
• Organic silicon for strength and vitality of the hair fiber
• Cystine B6, which strengthens hair by stimulating the production of keratin, the substance that makes up hair fiber and nails.

Always seek the advice of a health specialist before starting a course of dietary supplements.
