Tanned skin, rested complexion, hair brushed with pretty reflections … When you return from vacation, you are radiant.
Except that on closer inspection, your mane seems weakened. What to do to regain healthy and revitalized hair?
Summer at the beach is often destructive to your pretty hair. Indeed, the sun and sea water cocktail tends to dry out the hair, especially if the hair is naturally dry. To find healthy hair and try to keep the hard golden reflections acquired this summer, here are some simple and natural tips to reproduce at home.
A quick visit to the hairdresser
Cutting damaged ends is certainly the best way to give a boost to devitalized hair. It will also allow your mane to grow faster.
Vegetable oils
They are your best ally after returning from vacation. A massage with one or two tablespoons of vegetable oil is a treatment perfectly suited for dry hair. Leave the oil on the hair for 10 to 15 minutes under a warm towel. To find the oil best suited to the needs of your hair, here is the list of their respective properties:
Olive oil: it nourishes and redraws wicks.
Sweet almond oil: it protects and soothes irritated scalps.
Shea and coconut oil: they nourish the hair deeply and are ideal for shine.
Avocado oil: it is rich in vitamins and promotes hair growth.
Argan oil: it protects, hydrates and revitalizes the hair.
Homemade masks
Coming back from a beach holiday, it is important to apply a mask on the lengths and ends 1-2 times a week in order to replenish the hair fiber and nourish it. You can use an organic mask sold in supermarkets and in specialized stores, or prepare one with natural ingredients, simple and effective.
Banana and honey mask for dry hair: mix a banana with 2 tablespoons of honey, then apply the mask for 30 minutes.
Avocado mask: prepare the mask by mixing the flesh of an avocado with an egg and two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, spread over the entire length, massage and let sit for thirty minutes to maximize the effects.
Sweet almond mask: Beat an egg with 3 tablespoons of sweet almond oil and add 3 tablespoons of almond powder. Apply to the hair, leave on for 30 minutes and then do your usual shampoo.
Beer in rinse water
To regain healthy, voluminous hair, you can rinse it with beer. Be careful not to use it too often, because the alcohol in the beer could dry out your hair. Pour a glass of lager beer on your mane and rinse quickly with water.
Choose foods rich in protein, zinc and vitamin E
If health goes by the plate, beauty too! So to find beautiful hair, we put on quality proteins such as eggs, meat, fish, seafood and lentils. Nothing is more effective in restoring keratin. To fill up with iron and zinc, you fill your plate with lentils, meat, pure cocoa, shellfish and fish. Vitamin E is found in green vegetables, wheat germ, bread, fish and oysters.
