In summer, hair undergoes numerous aggressions such as sea salt, sun, and sand. Humidity and heat also play a role in the health of your hair and the beauty of your curls. Fortunately, by adopting the right habits, your hair can stay healthy. Discover how sea water can actually be your ally and the importance of brushing your hair at the beach.
The benefits of sea water on curly hair
Sea salt water is often criticized for the damage it can cause to hair. In spite of it being true, sea water also offers certain benefits. Confused by this contradiction? Don’t worry, we will explain everything.
Did you know : Sea water is actually an active water. Indeed, it doesn’t only contain salt; but it also contains numerous minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which are all beneficial for curly hair.
A detoxified scalp : Sea water has antiseptic and purifying properties that effectively clean the scalp during swimming. It helps combat excess sebum and dandruff, thus regulating sebum production. Result : a healthier scalp.
Strengthened and stimulated hair : Sea water contains magnesium and potassium, which stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
Mermaid hair : After a swim in the sea, hair adopts beautiful wavy curls and nice volume thanks to the salt present in the water.
Although sea water offers many benefits for hair, salt can cause damage after swimming. It weakens and dehydrates hair, making it more brittle. Therefore, it is important to rinse your hair with fresh water after each swim to remove salt and sand residues. Then, to protect your hair from the sunrays, apply the detangling thermo-protective mist.
The benefits of brushing curly hair at the beach
At the beach, hair is exposed not only to sea salt but also to UV rays which penetrate the hair fiber and damage the keratin. In order to prevent any damage to your hair, brushing can help close the cuticles and protect the hair by spreading the sebum produced by the scalp all the way to the ends of the hair. It nourishes and protects the hair.
Additionally, brushing your hair after swimming helps remove sand and salt residues that can cause itching and weaken the hair.
However, brushing must be done with a suitable detangling brush to be effective and not damage the curls.
Nylon fiber hair brushes are particularly suitable for curly hair. The Miracle No. 4 detangling brush has nylon bristles that easily penetrate the thickest hair for successful detangling.
This curly hairbrush can be used on both dry and wet hair. However, dry brushing is highly discouraged for curly hair as it can break the curls. It is therefore ideal to brush your hair once rinsed after swimming.
This detangling brush also stimulates the scalp thanks to its ball-tipped bristles. They provide a refreshing massage that promotes blood circulation for a healthier scalp and faster-growing, healthier hair.
A healthy scalp is the key to having healthy curly hair.
The benefits of a curly hair routine after a day at the beach
Following a curly hair routine in summer is essential to keep them healthy.
Step 1 : Deeply repair the hair
After sun exposure, it is essential to nourish and repair your hair. Thanks to its advanced technology, your Cair repair mask is a nutrient bomb (collagen bond-repair, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, vitamins B) that reconstructs your hair fibers in depth. This hair treatment seals the keratin and restores the health of your hair.
Step 2 : Cleanse your hair with a gentle natural shampoo
After each swim, rinse your hair with fresh water to remove accumulated salt and chlorine. Then, cleanse your hair with a gentle, natural shampoo to preserve your hair. In summer, your hair is particularly weakened by heat and sun exposure, so it is important to avoid overly aggressive or heavy formulations that can cause additional breakage and damage.
Cair hydrating shampoo cleans your hair without damaging it thanks to its natural formulation with hyaluronic acid and active waters like rice water.
Finally, it is not necessary to wash your hair every day after a swim in the sea or pool. A good rinse is sufficient to remove residues and avoid overstimulating sebum production.
Step 3 : Stimulate your scalp
After using your hair mask and shampoo, it is important to detangle your curly hair to form beautiful curls but also to stimulate blood circulation in your hair.
For wet hair, use the No. 4 detangling brush. For dry hair, use the No. 1 boar bristle hairbrush, which oxygenates the roots and adds shine.
