Ready, Set... Go!

Whoever thinks that

the hair

does not need a set-up before the summer falls into a tremendous mistake.

We must not forget that one of the current trends,

'skinification',

dictates that the hair must be cared for with

as much dedication as the skin.

For this reason, during the holidays, especially on the beach, in addition to showing off the summer hairstyle, it must be protected daily from the sun, the breeze, salt and chlorine, all agents that dehydrate and make

the dyes turn

color. in an unwanted way.

But there is also much to do before.

According to the hairdresser

Raquel Saiz,

from

Salón Blue by Raquel Saiz

(Torrelavega, Cantabria), the hair fiber must be strengthened with pre-summer

moisturizing treatments

and

enliven the color

with the most suitable dyes and highlights.

Prepare your hair for summer: the right cut and color

Leaving hair styling to chance is not an option.

To escape as much as possible

from heat tools

(your hair is going to suffer from other external aggressors), 'wash and go' cuts are your thing.

Among them, those that are worked in layers, that

give volume

where it is needed, are the ones recommended by Raquel Saiz.

As for color, "

it doesn't hurt to do a 'refresh' to facilitate maintenance and achieve a natural look; to do this, the reflections of the balayage or babylights highlights, which

subtly

lighten and with which you do not have to touch up the roots are the most recommended", explains the hairdresser.

To

protect the color

of the hair in the sun, in addition to having done this 'previous', there is nothing like always having a leave-in spray that defends and enhances the color, such as

Kevin Murphy's Everlasting Color

(33 euros).

Protect your hair this summer with a deep clean

The first step in preparing your hair for summer

is to cleanse and moisturize,

just like you do with your skin.

That's what the

'Hair Rituel by Sisley' treatment does,

which begins with a purifying pre-wash, which eliminates

the remains of pollution.

Now ready for hydration, it is continued with a personalized shampoo and is deeply nourished with a regenerating mask (150 euros with hairstyle included in

Next, Peque or Tacha,

in Madrid).

At home, maintaining this super-cleanliness involves using

a purifying pre-wash mask,

like

Sisley's,

which leaves hair cleaner and prepared for subsequent hydration (78.50 euros).

Protect hair from the sun: watch out for blondes in summer

Chlorine, salt and sun

make up a Molotov cocktail for

colored hair,

but especially for blondes.

The first two adhere to hair that, wet, is defenseless against the effects of the sun, and

porous

due to dyes.

"The result is a

dry and open fiber

that tends to worsen and change color with each sun session," says

Verónica Castro,

from

Vanitas Espai

(Barcelona).

For them, the 'Hair Top Coat'

protocol is recommended ,

which provides shine, nutrition and

maintains the blonde

thanks to a

protective varnish

that is achieved with a coconut oil balm,

hyaluronic acid

and caviar extract.

Its effects last up to four weeks (59.90 euros).

As a product to have on hand all summer, the

Illuminating Mask Silver Pearl, from Balmain Hair Couture,

which keeps the blonde intact (54 euros).

How to fight frizz in summer

The humidity of the coastal areas makes the frizz effect an unwanted summer classic.

That is why long-lasting straightening is a candy in these previous weeks.

However,

if you do not want to modify the structure

but do want to avoid frizz, the appropriate treatment will be

Silk Keratin from the

Cheska

hairdressing salon

(Madrid).

They use silk proteins instead of formaldehyde and derivatives (which break down the fiber instead of treating it), so that the hair is soft, reinforced and shiny without the need to style it with heat tools.

The results last up to six months (from 300 euros).

If we talk about a product to keep frizz at bay, we bet on the

Rescue Ampoules, from Pantene,

which act like a mask, but in a minute (4.99 euros, the pack of three).
