Why use sun protection for your hair?

When you travel to sunny destinations or when spring starts to appear, it is important to think about sun protection for your hair. Strong UV rays can cause hair strands to break, split, and fade hair color. In addition, UV rays can increase the production of free radicals, which can further damage hair and lead to a loss of elasticity and shine. Sun damage can generally make hair more difficult to manage and give it an unhealthy appearance.

Shampoo, conditioner, and care products with UV protection

To maintain the health of your hair, it is important to use products that protect against UV rays. The ChroMin™ ColorPro series, which consists of shampoo, conditioner, and a leave-in treatment spray, contains sunflower seed oil that provides natural protection against UV rays. The products are also enriched with mullet extract, which contains high concentrations of vitamin C and antioxidants, and adds moisture and nourishment to the hair. The result is shiny and healthy hair.

BoostaMin™ Instant Hair Mask is a deep-acting hair mask that is suitable for all hair types. It contains mullet extract to give your hair a boost of antioxidants, as well as shea butter and hyaluronic acid to bind moisture to the hair and provide a long-lasting effect. The hair becomes silky soft, shiny and easy to manage.

Does your hair turn golden in the sun?

If you are one of those who likes cool shades in your hair color and find that your hair can be perceived as too yellow during the sunny season, then it is very effective to use shampoo and conditioner with purple pigments. Purple is the opposite color of yellow on the color wheel, meaning that purple neutralizes yellow.

ScandiMin™ The Blonde Shampoo has a high concentration of purple pigments that neutralize warm pigments in the hair color, and helps maintain a cool and shiny shade. It prevents the color from fading and protects the hair from UV rays. For a really good effect, the shampoo can be left in the hair for a few minutes before rinsing it out.
 

ScandiMin™ The Blonde Conditioner neutralizes warm pigments in hair color, provides UV protection, prevents hair color from fading, adds moisture and protects hair from external influences.

Remember to bring these with you before you travel, so you can start using the products as soon as you feel the color is getting too golden. The shampoo and conditioner come in both travel size and full size.

Do you have a sensitive scalp and want to care of it?

SensiMin™ Balancing Lotion is a lightly cooling lotion specially developed to soothe an itchy and irritated scalp, and restores the scalp's natural balance. The product contains, among other things, Aloe Vera, which adds moisture to the scalp and relieves irritation. It also helps stimulate hair growth at the roots, extends the life cycle of each hair strand and reduces hair loss that can be caused by stress, pregnancy or hormonal imbalance. It is completely free of parabens, alcohol, silicones and perfume and has a fresh mint scent using natural peppermint oil. The product provides an immediate effect and leaves the scalp both fresh and comfortable after the first application.

Styling products with UV protection

For extra protection, use Eleni & Chris Fiber Foam, a fiber-rich hair mousse that adds volume and texture with flexible hold. This product contains nourishing ingredients that moisturize, preserve color, and add shine to the hair. It is suitable for all hair types and protects hair from UV rays, is color-preserving, and provides heat protection up to 220 degrees.

This comes in both travel size and full size.

When is it important to use sun protection for hair?

It is important to use hair products with UV protection both in everyday life and when you spend a lot of time in the sun. To protect your hair and scalp from damage from UV rays, you should include products with sun protection in your daily hair care routine.
 

Remember that your hair parting can also get sunburned. To avoid sun damage to your scalp, it may be a good idea to use sunscreen with SPF 30 or 50 on your hair partings and areas with less hair growth. If the damage has already occurred, Eleni & Chris SensiMin Balancing Lotion is the best SOS product to relieve the discomfort and repair the damage to your skin.

Tips for hairstyling on a beach holiday

1. Braid your hair: Braids are a great way to keep your hair under control at the beach. They protect your hair from the sun and salt water, and you can choose from simple braids, French braids, or fishbone braids.
2. Wear a headband or hair band: Headbands and hair bands are perfect for keeping your hair out of your face and giving a cute and relaxed look. They also protect your hair from sun damage.
3. Loose waves: For a natural beach look, use Eleni & Chris Sea Salt Spray to create loose waves. Spray the product into damp hair and let it air dry for a relaxed and textured style.
4. Ponytail or topknot: A high ponytail or topknot is easy to create and keeps your hair out of your face. It’s also a great way to protect your hair from the sun and salt water.
5. Wear a sun hat or cap: A sun hat or cap not only protects your hair from UV rays, but also adds a stylish touch to your beach outfit. Choose a hat with a wide brim for extra protection.
6. Leave-in conditioner: Use a leave-in conditioner with UV protection to protect your hair from sun damage. Apply the product to damp hair before going out in the sun.
7. Avoid heat tools: Try to avoid using heat tools like straighteners and curling irons while on vacation. Let your hair air dry naturally to avoid further damage from the sun.
8. Use hair accessories: Hair clips and scrunchies can be used to create simple and stylish hairstyles. They are also gentle on the hair and prevent damage.
