Dry, porous and brittle hair fiber, straw effect, lack of shine... The summer season doesn't do your hair any favors! Fortunately, these hair problems are not inevitable. Here's how to repair your hair after the summer for a beautiful return to work.

Repair post-summer hair with a brush made of boar bristles

Between repeated exposure to the sun, chlorine, salt and wind, your hair has been (very) weakened over the summer. Dehydrated, it needs intensive nourishment. Your SOS routine starts with brushing your hair with a brush made from boar bristles.

Why should we? Simply because this styling tool is a genuine 100% natural treatment for your hair. In fact, boar bristles are capable of capturing natural oils right from the roots and distributing it evenly throughout the hair, right down to the ends. This exceptional power naturally nourishes the hair fiber and makes it shine. Bonus for preventing autumn hair loss: a relaxing massage that stimulates the scalp for healthy, vigorous regrowth.

For optimum efficiency, we recommend a quality brush, like the care brushes in boar bristles or the brushes in the Prestige collection byAltesse Studio . Handcrafted using ancestral techniques, they are made from 1st recut bristles, the noblest part of wild boar hair. To make the most of their virtues, we adopt the ritual of 100 brush strokes morning and night. The key to repairing your hair after the summer.

Repair damaged hair with treatments adapted to summer problems

Say goodbye to chemical hair care products, and opt for sulfate-free, preferably natural hair care products to ensure maximum respect for your already fragile hair. One of the essentials for recovering healthy hair after the summer is a month-long course of nourishing mask, to be applied to lengths and ends 2 or 3 times a week. Choose one without silicones to intensely nourish the fiber without weighing it down. You can also count on the benefits of plant oils such as avocado oil to deeply nourish brittle, dry and damaged hair.

For beautiful back-to-school hair, limit heat sources

We say it often, but it's for a good cause, I promise! Excessive heat is one of the hair care mistakes that can damage your hair. It makes your hair brittle, porous and dull. If the ideal is to dispense with heating appliances (after summer and beyond), try to space them out and program them at minimum temperature. Another tip to preserve your hair: place the hair dryer 20 cm from the skull and use the straightening iron only once on the same strand. And of course, always use a heat protection spray to protect your hair from the damaging effects of heat.

Care for damaged, brittle hair by resuming a healthy diet when you return from vacation

After enjoying summer aperitifs, barbecues and ice creams on the beach, it's time to return to a balanced, hair-friendly diet. On the agenda: foods rich in Omega 3 (oily fish, dried fruit, linseed or rapeseed oil...), fresh fruit and vegetables to fill up on vitamins and minerals, proteins (eggs, meat, legumes) to strengthen keratin. And of course, don't forget to drink at least 1.5 L of water a day to keep your scalp hydrated.
