The sun, the wind, the salty water, and the chlorine from the pools during the summer dry out and break the ends of your hair. They destroy the structural proteins, vitamins, and other valuable nutrients that keep it healthy and shiny. Although there is no magic pill to restore its moisture and speed up its growth, a new generation of hair masks and treatments can facilitate its restoration.
The top hairdressers advise that you could try out several highly-rated hair treatments that will not only soften your dry strands and hydrate them, but also nourish your hair and scalp and stimulate your hair growth. These treatments will enhance your hair colour and increase its shine.

What causes hair damage
Besides the external atmospheric influences, many other factors damage and dehydrate the hair, as well. The top hairstylists point out that the use of curling irons or straighteners can be a potential cause of hair drying. When you heat your hair strands, the moisture evaporates too quickly, causing their breakage and split ends. To prevent this, they advise you to avoid the use of hot tools and, if you do use them, to lower the heat, so as to avoid completely burning your hair. The Moroccanoil Protect thermal protection spray can neutralise the damage from the curling irons or straighteners. It is mandatory to apply it after towel-drying your hair. Spray it on your dry hair like a hair spray; it contains a light hold, so you do not need to apply an additional hairspray.
The top hairstylists warn that the frequent and excessive shampooing, the use of too many styling products, and, of course, the excessive sun exposure also damage the hair.
Which are the best treatments for damaged and dry hair?
To correct your dry hair, the hairdressers advise you to use a good intensive care that will restore its moisture, seal the hair shaft to prevent its further moisture loss, and stimulate its shine.
There are fantastic options that can help to render shine to your hair and combat its dryness. Below you will find three highly-rated and recommended hair treatments that will soften, hydrate, and fill your hair with volume and shine.
Oxygen-strengthening hair treatment with Biologique Recherche
This treatment is suitable for a low oxygen supply to the scalp and it energises the dry and lifeless hair. The Soin Oxygenant-Fortifiant treatment saturates the scalp with oxygen and adds volume to the hair. It stimulates and revitalises the hair growth. The hair becomes softer, shinier, and easier to comb. For optimal results, the top hairdressers recommend 3 to 4 treatments in combination with the complementary home care products for the hair and the scalp from Biologique Recherche.
Keratin treatment for a silky soft and shiny hair
During the summer, the hair needs a deeper hydration and protection. The keratin treatment nourishes, smoothens, and thickens the hair shaft, while protecting and neutralising the harmful effects of the sun and the salty water. The treatment builds a protective protein filter around the hair shaft, strengthens the broken hair, eliminates the frizz, softens, and smoothens. The keratin strengthens and fortifies the hair, preventing its breakage. This stimulates the hair to grow faster as its ends do not break. The result is smooth, healthy, and nourished hair with a strong shine.
Biologique Recherche treatment for split ends
The top hairdressers recommend this procedure for an immediate restoration of the damaged hair. It works on the inner structure of the hair and reconstructs the weaker areas. It fills and bonds the damaged fibres, preventing the hair’s breakage and damage. It activates the thermal protective barrier around each hair strand. It makes the colour brighter and more durable. For optimal effect, the top hairstylists advise you to undergo 3 to 4 treatments.
Home care products
When choosing hair products to deal with dryness, it is important to be mindful of their key ingredients. The professional hairdressers recommend you to select products with natural ingredients like softening natural oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Unlike the other oils, they are fully absorbed by the hair without making it greasy. Additionally, the top hairdressers often add vitamin E (both as a dietary supplement and as a product combined with other products), which hydrates and retains the moisture.
Usually, they would recommend the Moroccanoil products for home care to their clients. The combination of the intensive hydrating and nourishing Moroccanoil Hydration mask with the Moroccanoil oil will leave your hair shiny and well-nourished. Mix the two products and apply them generously to the dry lengths. You can leave the mixture overnight or for a few hours to fully absorb. Then wash your hair with the Moroccanoil Hydration shampoo and add the conditioner of the same series. Before blow-drying, the professional hairdressers advise you to sequentially apply the three Moroccanoil products – the oil, the hydrating cream, and the smoothening oil with an anti-frizz effect.
Scalp Massage for Shine
The top hairdressers advise you to add a scalp massage to your home care routine in addition to using the right products. Similarly to the facial massage, the scalp massage increases the blood flow and stimulates the growth by strengthening the hair. It helps the hair receive the full potential of nutrients, oxygen, and energy.
Taking care of your dry and unruly hair requires a combination of effective treatments, the right products, and the proper techniques. By understanding the causes of your hair damage and following the advice of the top hairstylists, you can restore your hair’s moisture, enhance its shine, and improve its overall health. The incorporation of treatments like the oxygen-strengthening hair treatment, the keratin treatment, and the Biologique Recherche treatment for split ends can make a significant difference. Besides, the use of home care products with natural ingredients and the addition of scalp massages to your routine will further support your hair’s vitality. With consistent care and the right approach, you can achieve soft, shiny, and manageable hair all year round.
