These brand-new products protect your hair from sun damage

Come summer, aren’t we all a bit more lax with our hair? Air-drying is more common than not, and personally I’m much more apt to throw on a hat and go rather than wash and style my hair (thank G-d for dry shampoo). But despite a more casual approach to my coif, I take protecting my strands from the sun to another level—especially now that they’re platinum. That’s why I’m especially psyched about Rene Furterer’s latest launch, and the Solaire collection includes sesame-oil-based pre- and post-sun hair products that protect, nourish and preserve the health of your hair.

Before…
In addition to the sun, chlorine and salt water are major culprits when it comes to summertime hair damage. Responsible for dry, brittle hair that’s especially prone to breakage—and color fading, no matter your hue—the elements are enemy number one. That’s where the new Solaire products come in, and there’s the Protective Summer Oil for those with thicker hair in need of intense hydration (or those who like a slicked-back poolside look) and the lighter Protective Summer Fluid for thinner hair (or those who want to rock their usual style). Both of these water-resistant products provide KPF (keratin protection factor) to shield 90% of keratin from damage with a highly effective sunscreen-grade UV filter. (And they come in TSA-friendly sizes so you can straight from the plane to the playa.)

After…
At the end of the day, undoing damage should be priority number-one. Start with the Solaire Nourishing Repair Shampoo, which replenishes all of the essential moisture lost during a day of fun in the sun as it gently washes away salt, chlorine and anything else you may have picked up along the way. Follow with the Nourishing Repair Mask to fight frizz and restore smooth, soft strands. And if you choose, take you rehydration and restoration efforts all the way with the dual-phase Leave-In Moisturizing Spray. This treatment/styling product detangles and smoothes whether you blowdry or not, and offers UV protection for when you’re going to do it all again…
