Sunny beach days are synonymous with relaxation, fun, and often tangled hair ! The wind, sea salt, and sand can turn your hair into a real nightmare to untangle. Fortunately, there are effective solutions to keep your hair silky even at the beach.
The Right Steps to Take at the Beach
While swimming, hair tends to tangle very quickly. Our first reflex is to brush it to untangle, but it is necessary to take certain precautions before doing so.
Rinse your hair with clear water
After a swim in the sea, salt deposits on your hair, making it more fragile and prone to breakage. It is essential to rinse your hair with clear water after each swim to eliminate salt and sand residues.
Detangle your hair with a wide-tooth comb
Once your hair is partially dry, you can finally proceed with detangling. On slightly damp hair, it is recommended to detangle the lengths using a comb to minimize the risk of breakage. La Bonne Brosse's wide-tooth comb is ideal for detangling damp hair while respecting the hair fiber.
Tip : Avoid detangling your hair when it is still soaked with water as it is more fragile and prone to breakage.
Detangle your hair with an appropriate brush
After detangling most of your hair with a wide-tooth comb, you can detangle your hair with a brush suited to its needs.
Brushing is essential as UV rays penetrate the hair fiber and damage the keratin present in the hair. By regularly brushing your hair, you close the cuticles and benefit from a custom care by distributing the sebum produced by your scalp along the lengths.
- Sensitive scalps : The mixed boar and nylon bristle brush massages the scalp, stimulating blood circulation and promoting hair growth. This helps maintain a healthier scalp and better-conditioned hair. The Essential Softness brush gently detangles your hair thanks to its ball-tipped bristles, preventing scalp irritation. This detangling brush should be used only on dry hair.
- Curly and thick hair : The nylon fiber detangling brush allows you to detangle all types of hair, even the thickest. The Miracle massaging brush, with varied-size nylon bristles, penetrates even the densest hair. This vegan hairbrush deeply detangles dry or wet hair and massages the scalp for better microcirculation. The Essential brush is also perfect for this hair type. In addition to its nylon bristles, it has boar bristles rich in keratin that deeply hydrate the hair fiber.
- Dry, damaged, or fine hair : Rich in keratin, the boar bristle brush deeply hydrates and nourishes the hair by evenly distributing sebum. The Universal boar bristle brush also purifies the scalp by removing impurities like sand. It should be used only on dry hair. The advantage of the boar bristle hairbrush is that it adapts to all hair types.
The right steps to take at home after a day at the beach
Use an appropriate shampoo
Hair undergoes numerous aggressions at the beach : sun, salt, sand. It is important to adopt a hair care routine that treats your hair.
Opt for a sulfate-free and silicone-free shampoo that cleanses your hair without stripping your scalp weakened by the sun. The Cair hyaluronic acid shampoo also offers intense hydration to your hair dried out by the sun and salt.
Treat your hair
For the most damaged and fragile hair, apply our repairing hair mask once or twice a week before your hydrating shampoo to nourish and deeply hydrate them.
Avoid heat sources
In summer, your hair is constantly exposed to the sun’s heat. To keep your hair healthy, avoid adding extra heat with a straightener or hair dryer. If you cannot do without your heating devices, protect your hair fiber with our detangling thermo-protective mist. Your hair will thus be protected from aggressions such as heat, UV rays, and pollution.
