Summer is here, and you're probably going to take advantage of it to head to the beach, the mountains, wander around, or just relax! Either way, the sun, the wind, and all your movement will affect your hair and can cause tangles and oxidation… and therefore dry hair.

Even if it feels like a myth to you, and you don't notice any immediate change in your hair when you get back from vacation, it's very real. So don't forget to protect your hair as much as you protect your skin!

What's more, seawater damages your hair too. The salt in the water dries out your hair through a mechanical action caused by sodium crystals. That's why it's important to always rinse your hair with fresh water when you get out of the sea.

Now that you know, discover the 5 hairstyles we've picked for an afternoon at the beach!

Now that you have some great beach hairstyles, don't forget to protect your hair!

To protect your hair from the sun and avoid drying it out further, choose a gentle shampoo and go for LAO, because our cleansing products protect your hair from UVA, with efficacy proven by an independent laboratory in tests carried out in 2021 that led to a patent filing!

And remember to always rinse your hair well when you get out of the water and to use a protective shampoo as soon as possible to keep your hair in good health.

Here's to a great summer, without the sun or seawater damaging your hair!
