5 HAIRCARE TIPS TO SHARE WITH YOUR CLIENTS

Share these five top tips with your clients to help maintain optimal hair health during the summer months…

Bonacure Sun Protect Hair & Scalp Mist

1. Form a protective shield for your hair before stepping out in the sun

Anything from hats, hair scarfs or a product with UVA/UVB filter, such as the Bonacure Sun Protect Hair & Scalp Mist can provide a much-needed protective barrier to prevent exposure to the sun’s harmful rays. Just like you would with your skin, avoid sunbathing in the midday sun and instead seek shade or go out earlier in the day.

2. Keep your hair hydrated

A hydrated body = hydrated hair, so keeping on top of your water consumption during the summer months will have a positive impact on your hair’s moisture. As a result, hair will be less frizzy and easier to style.

3. Minimise additional heat

Avoid styling tools which can dry out your hair further. Heat breaks bonds within the hair structure and can cause permanent damage. If you do need to reach for a hot styling tool, use a low heat setting and a protection spray such as the Bonacure Sun Protect 10-in-1 Summer Fluid.

4. Brave the chop

Don’t forget to schedule in a summer salon visit! Trimming your ends regularly will speed up your hair’s recovery process, enhancing health and vitality.

5. Maintain a good haircare routine

After spending time in the sun, follow up with a haircare regime to reduce and repair hair damage. Use a gentle cleanser such as the Bonacure Sun Protect 3-in-1 Scalp, Hair & Body Cleanse to remove any excess residue left in the hair, before following up with an intensive treatment to nourish and restore lengths...

TREATMENTS FOR THIRSTY HAIR

Transform your client’s dry and sun-stressed hair with our Bonacure treatments, now with Care Boost Complex. The revamped formula provides an elevated level of care, with a powerful blend of active ingredients which create a sensorial layer on the hair.

In just one application, hair is transformed and deeply hydrated – with extra shine, softness and moisture, as well as improved manageability and less frizz. Encourage your clients to incorporate the Bonacure treatments as part of their haircare routine, finishing with the newly-formulated Sealed Ends+ to intensely seal hair ends and prevent breakage.
