Summer is a time for sun-kissed skin, beach waves, and a carefree spirit. However, the season can also bring unique challenges for your hair. From the harsh sun to salty ocean water and chlorinated pools, your hair can take quite a beating. At Delphin & Emerence, we believe that everyone deserves to have beautiful, healthy hair all year round. That's why we've created a guide to help you maintain luscious locks this summer, featuring our luxurious boar bristle hairbrushes.
During the summer months, your hair is exposed to various elements that can lead to dryness, frizz, and damage. Here are some common summer hair woes and how to combat them:
1. Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. It also damages the delicate skin on your scalp and damage there can ruin hair follicles resulting in hair loss.
2. Humidity: High humidity levels can cause your hair to become frizzy and unmanageable.
3. Saltwater & Chlorine: Both saltwater and chlorine can be incredibly drying, leading to split ends and breakage.
Our boar bristle hairbrushes are designed to help you achieve and maintain healthy, beautiful hair even during the toughest summer days. Here’s how:
1. Natural Oil Distribution: Boar bristle hairbrushes are exceptional at distributing the natural oils from your scalp down the length of your hair. This helps to keep your hair moisturized and protected from environmental stressors. So brush up before you hit the beach. When your hair is extra dry you can protect it with some natural silicon free oil like jojoba, argan,... Our founder personally likes dry oil from Nuxe and Caudalie.
2. Frizz Control: By smoothing the hair cuticle, boar bristle brushes help to reduce frizz and enhance shine. This is particularly beneficial in humid conditions.
3. Gentle Detangling: Unlike synthetic brushes that can cause breakage, boar bristle brushes gently detangle your hair without pulling or tugging. This is especially important when your hair is wet as wet hair is very prone to breakage.
4. Scalp Health: Regular brushing with a boar bristle brush stimulates blood flow to the scalp, promoting healthier hair growth.
5. Before you take a splash: thorougly wet your hair with tap water. Hair strands are then soaked with clean water and will absorb less salt or chlorine.
To get the most out of your boar bristle hairbrush this summer, follow these simple tips:
- Brush Before Washing: Brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush before washing can help remove dirt and distribute oils, resulting in cleaner and more manageable hair post-wash. Our founder then uses a gentle shampoo from either Garnier of Caudalie.
- Brush Daily: Make brushing a part of your daily routine. A few gentle strokes every day can make a significant difference in the health and appearance of your hair. That way it is protected by the best in conditioner in the world: sebum! So greasy hair before the beach is PERFECT! Although brushing does not make your hair look greasy when you use a boar bristle hairbrush. Our founder Lies helsloot uses a combination of our Mistletoe hairbrush and Apple Blossom as she has fine hair. Her daughter has thick, curly hair and prefers the Magnolia Blossom hairbrush and on the beach uses our Blackthorn brush when her hair is wet.
- Clean Your Brush: To maintain the effectiveness of your boar bristle brush, clean it regularly. Remove hair strands with our specially created cleaning brush and wash the bristles with a mild shampoo to remove any buildup. Check out the video we made about cleaning a boar bristle hairbrush.
In addition to using a boar bristle hairbrush, incorporating a few other steps into your hair care routine can help keep your hair looking its best:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.
- Protect: Wear a hat or scarf to shield your hair from direct sunlight. Your scalp can burn too and burning the sensitive skin on your scalp causes horrible damage to hair follicles!
- Condition: Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week to replenish moisture lost due to sun and water exposure. Our founder likes hair masks over conditioner as your hair needs a bit of extra during summer and she feels it makes her hair less frizzy.
- Limit Heat Styling: Give your hair a break from heat styling tools and embrace natural, beachy waves or use hair pins or hair bands that do not cause hair damage. Our founder always uses pins by Fiona Franchimon and invisibobble bands.
