Dry, sun-damaged and ruined hair? This will help us save it
After days spent in the sun, at the beach, or in the pool, we often notice that our hair is dry, dull, and brittle. This is no coincidence – summer conditions really take a toll on hair.In this article, we'll look at why this happens, how to hydrate your hair deeply, and which ingredients and products can truly help.
Why do the sun and summer damage hair?
Hair is made of keratin – a protein, which is damaged especially when exposed to UV radiation, wind, chlorine, and salt water. During the summer, not only the hair but also the scalp often suffers.
The results are:
- Dehydrated and rough hair,
- Split ends,
- Loss of elasticity and volume,
- Increased breakage and frizz.
The combination of intense sun, salt water, chlorine and frequent washing leads to hair losing its protective lipid layer – and thus its ability to retain moisture.
How to recognise that our hair needs regeneration?
- Difficult to comb and feel rough to the touch,
- have lost their shine and look 'dull',
- break easily or split even when gently combed,
- have lost volumeand are lifeless.
If this description sounds familiar, your hair probably needs more than just a classic wash – it needs deep hydration and nourishment.
What is deep hydration and why is it important?
Deep hydration means not only "moisturising" the hair from the outside, but penetration of active ingredients directly into the hair structure and its restoration from within.
Such care:
- Increases hair elasticity and reduces breakage,
- seals the cuticle (the outer layer of the hair), which reduces split ends,
- restores shine and vitality,
- improves scalp health.
What ingredients should a quality moisturising product contain?
When choosing hair cosmetics for the summer, it’s worth paying attention to the ingredients. Focus on products that contain:
- Panthenol (provitamin B5) – deeply hydrates and softens hair,
- marine collagen and keratin – restores hair structure and increases its elasticity,
- plant-based oils – e.g. argan or coconut, which soften and lock in moisture,
- specific polysaccharides, such as glycogen, which provide energy to hair follicles and strengthen hair from within.
One of the brands that uses these ingredients in a synergistic composition – meaning the ingredients support each other for a stronger effect, is Nuggela & Sule – a Spanish brand that combines nature, science and dermatological effectiveness.
What products to choose for sun-damaged hair?
This type of shampoo helps to restore the hair's protective barrier while cleansing the scalp without drying it out. Products with onion extract (odourless) and vitamin E are also suitable for hair loss and loss of shine.
Masks based on marine collagen and natural oils are ideal for restoring extremely damaged hair. Use once or twice a week, leave on for 5-10 minutes.
Serums help to seal the hair surface, add shine, and protect it from further damage from heat or UV radiation. Ideal as a final step after styling or before blow-drying.
Ampoules are a rescue treatment for hair damaged by sun, salt or chlorine. After use, the hair is visibly shinier, stronger, less prone to breakage and regains its elasticity and volume. Apply 1–2× weekly after washing. Visible results will appear within 3 weeks.
At Bioruza.sk you will find many such products that hydrate without weighing the hair down, are dermatologically tested and are also suitable for sensitive skin.
How to incorporate hair regeneration into your daily routine?
- Shampoo gently, but thoroughly, ideally with a scalp massage.
- use a mask/regenerating ampoules at least once a week,
- avoid blow-drying on high heat and straighteners without heat protection,
- protect your hair with a hator a scarf if you're in the sun all day,
- give your hair a break from styling , coloring, and frequent washing,
- don't forget about hydration regime – hydration from the outside goes hand in hand with hydration from the inside.
