You don't have to have Rapunzel's hair to know that, without proper care, it can become so damaged that you'll be forced to cut it. Especially in summer. If you want to avoid a dramatic visit to the hairdresser, bet on products that scream "hydration."

You don't have to have Rapunzel's hair to know that, without proper care, it can become so damaged that you'll be forced to cut it. Especially in summer. If you want to avoid a dramatic visit to the hairdresser, bet on products that scream "hydration."

 

Promises: to restore and deeply moisturize hair after exposure to sun, sand and salt. Vogue's word: the promise was ambitious, but it was fulfilled. Finding products that bring your hair back to life after the beach is no easy task, especially when we're talking about curly hair, which needs all the hydration imaginable. This mask is super nourishing, but it doesn't weigh your hair down, quite the opposite. In addition, it gives a super healthy shine and prevents frizz, which, for curly hair, is a very important factor.Deep recovery mask Soleil, € 32,64, Kérastase.

 

Promises: healthier and more resistant hair, extending the luminosity and intensity of the color. Vogue's word: colored and highlighted hair needs extra-special care, so it's impossible to remain indifferent whenever something new comes along, be it a miracle treatment or a product line that promises to put an end to the feeling of dry, damaged hair. Good news: Phyto - which has long used the power of plants to enhance and beautify all hair types, even when being environmentally friendly wasn't mainstream - is betting on Cor, a three-step routine that will revolutionize the way we care for our strands: composed of an Anti-Fading Shampoo, a Color-Protecting Conditioner and a Protective Mask, Cor aims to increase softness, boost shine and prolong color, restoring the resistance and strength that regular coloring tends to weaken.Anti-Fading Shampoo, € 13,60, Color-Protecting Conditioner, € 17,90 Protective Mask, € 25,50, all from Cor, Phyto.

Promises: to restore the hair's luminosity and intensely repair the hair fiber. Vogue's word: the newest member of the Guerlain family carries with it a heavy heritage, that of decades of success of the Abeille Royale ritual, which it now applies to the hair and scalp through the power of four different types of repairing honey identified by Guerlain Research. While it is impossible to test the product in the "minimum time necessary" (two applications per week over a month) to evaluate its performance, the experiment carried out by Vogue ensures that you don't have to wait 31 days to validate this novelty: Double R Radiance & Repair Mask, in addition to a fabulous gel texture, has a sweet fragrance and effectively fulfills the purpose of repairing the strands - the hair is stronger and brighter, from root to tip.Double R Radiance & Repair Mask, € 87,99, Guerlain, at Sephora.pt.

 

Promises: visibly more nourished, silky, shiny and healthy hair. Vogue's word:is not yet well known in Portugal, but if it were, Dr. Barbara Sturm, the doctor behind the brand of the same name, would be a celebrity. On the one hand, that's a good thing, as her products remain a closely guarded secret. But that's all about to change soon, because gems like this Repair Hair Mask won't be on the shelves for long - physical and virtual. First point in favor: it has no smell, something crucial for those who squirm with odors foreign to a "picky" sense of smell. At a time when sea baths are on the increase, this mask is particularly suitable for those who need to moisturize their hair, especially those with "tangled" ends. The shine that was reflected in the mirror after using the hairdryer was no mirage.Repair Hair Mask, € 60, Dr. Barbara Sturm, at Skinlife.
