Kérastase Bain Après-Soleil Shampoo

1. Kérastase Bain Après-Soleil Shampoo

“This shampoo is ideal for sun-damaged hair. Use it if you’re on vacation down South or if you are spending an entire day in the sun. If you have very dry, weak hair, this shampoo will quickly help repair the damage caused by the sun, heat and humidity.” – Maria Barillaro, Beauty Booty 4-1-1

Redken Color Extend Sun SPF 12

2. Redken Color Extend Sun SPF 12

“This is a great product to use if you’re going to be spending a whole day in the sun. If you’re planning on hanging around by the pool, the beach or even spending the day outdoors at an amusement park, it might be a good idea to spray your hair with this before sun exposure. The same way you apply sunscreen on your body, you apply sun protection to your hair. This is currently the only product in Canada that offers sun protection to prevent damage.” – MB

3. John Frieda Smooth Start Conditioner

“This rinse-out conditioner is very hydrating and it’s made to control even the most rebellious frizz. Since frizzy hair is more susceptible to sun damage, using this conditioner to keep that hair hydrated and smooth is a god idea. It will then be less likely to burn in the sun.” – MB

4. Schwarzkopf Professional BC Sun Protect After-Sun Treatment

“I used this product everyday when I was vacationing down South and I loved it. After washing your hair, spray this leave-in treatment to help further repair the damage caused by the sun during your day at the beach. It’ll make your hair easier to comb through so you won’t break any weak hair. It repairs hair in the same way aloe vera gel heals the skin after a sunburn.” – MB

That way, it will be less likely to suffer heat damage from the sun.” – MB
