Summer often means sun, sand, sea, and chlorine. But for your hair, summer can quickly become synonymous with dehydration, dryness, and itching. That's why it's essential to take care of your scalp with suitable hair care, as it's directly responsible for the health of your hair.
Why detox your scalp after summer vacation?
The scalp plays a crucial role in the health of your hair. When healthy, it ensures optimal blood circulation, bringing essential nutrients to the hair follicles. This leads to stronger, shinier hair growth. A healthy scalp also helps prevent hair problems like dandruff and inflammation, which are often responsible for hair loss. Additionally, it maintains hair hydration, reducing breakage and making it more resilient and hydrated.
However, in summer, the accumulation of sand, salt, or chlorine on the scalp clogs pores and prevents hair from breathing properly.
Moreover, like the skin, the scalp can get sunburned. When this happens, it becomes dehydrated and irritated, directly impacting the health of your hair.
How to take care of your scalp?
To detoxify and care for your scalp, three essential elements must be considered:
1 - Optimal blood circulation
Optimal blood circulation is crucial for healthy hair growth as it brings essential nutrients and eliminates toxins.
Ingredients like lactic and phytic acids, rice water, or caffeine complexes stimulate blood circulation while removing dead cells and impurities. They also combat irritation and strengthen hair from the root.
2 - Microbiome balance
Maintaining a balanced microbiome is very important for your scalp's health. The microbiome consists of all the microorganisms (bacteria) living on the skin and scalp. They help strengthen the immune system and protect against infections.
The prebiome complex helps maintain this balance and protects against hair loss.
3 - Optimal hydration
A hydrated scalp is a healthy scalp. Hydration helps combat irritation and itching while keeping hair healthy.
Hyaluronic acid retains water in the hair fiber even in very dry environments, maintaining an optimal level of hydration.
Grape water hydrates and nourishes the scalp, soothing irritations and protecting the hair from sun and pollution damage.
What routine to adopt to detoxify my scalp?
Based on these three key elements, Cair has developed a routine specifically designed to care for your scalp and hair.
Step 1: Detoxify and hydrate
Cair offers two products to use alternately before shampooing:
The fortifying serum detoxifies and strengthens the scalp, while the after-sun hair mask hydrates, repairs, and nourishes the hair fiber.
Step 2: Cleanse without aggression
The Cair hydrating shampoo gently cleanses the scalp without stripping it, eliminating sand, chlorine residues, and impurities.
Step 3: Protect
In summer, protecting your hair from UV rays is essential. The Cair protective detangling mist creates a barrier against external aggressions such as pollution and UV rays, thus protecting your hair.
