Haircare tips for managing sun damage and product buildup

Sun, salt, and wind can negatively impact hair by causing dryness, roughness, and loss of shine. To combat these effects, experts recommend incorporating specific aftersun hair masks into a beauty routine. These masks are more intensive than standard conditioners, utilizing ingredients such as shea butter, vegetable oils, aloe vera, panthenol, and vegetable keratin to restore moisture and lipids to the hair fiber.

Specific product recommendations include the Davines SU Aftersun Mask, which uses bitter orange extract, the Biopoint Reparative Treatment enriched with vitamin E, and the Helan Monoi de Tahiti mask.

Additionally, clarifying shampoos can serve as a vital tool for hair health. Unlike products designed specifically for oily hair, clarifying shampoos are highly purifying formulas intended to remove deep-seated impurities, including styling product buildup, excess sebum, pollution, and mineral deposits from water, without necessarily reducing natural oil production.
