Winners Never Quit

There's no excuse for not taking care of it all year round, but summer calls for extra attention. Hair is exposed to the sun, salt, the elements and a thousand and one products and ways of drying it, so it's best to make sure you have the right products in the cupboard.

Elixir Ultime L'Huile Originale Rechargeable Hair Oil, € 53, Kératase at Perfumesecompanhia.pt.

Promises: to control frizz for 96 hours, strengthen and smooth hair.
Vogue’s word: for some reason they call it "iconic." This ultra-light, exquisite oil provides shine and luminosity to dry hair, and acts as a thermal protector during styling. Quickly absorbed, Elixir Ultime strengthens and protects the hair fiber and gives instant softness to the most unruly hair. It's impossible not to mention its wonderful aroma, a multi-sensory experience that takes hair care to a new level.

The Shield anti-humidity spray, € 31,99, Amika at Sephora.pt.

Promises: to protect hair from humidity for 24 hours.
Vogue’s word: straight, wavy, curly, fine, normal or thick... whatever the texture or type of hair, the result will be the same: goodbye frizz, hello brave new world. It sounds like a lie, but this spray works — it protects hair from heat (up to 230 °C) and humidity (up to 24 hours). It can be used on dry or damp hair, before styling, for a light and silky effect.

Money Mist leave-in conditioner, €36,99, Color Wow at Sephora.pt.

Promises: to moisturize and strengthen the hair while protecting it from heat.
Vogue’s word: Anyone who is a fan of the Money Masque (we talked about it a few issues ago) knows that having a "portable" product from Color Wow can be considered the Holy Grail. Enriched with nutrients, Money Mist is suitable for all hair types and promises to be the best asset for the summer: it reduces breakage, improves flexibility and provides high shine, reducing frizz.

Sea Spray, € 8,63, Zara Hair.

Promises: that soft wave that only a dip in the sea can give.
Vogue’s word: part of the new Zara Hair line, created by the A Coruña giant in conjunction with renowned hairstylist Guido Palau, this light-textured mist aims to give hair that (coveted) look of having dried "naturally" after a day at the beach. Simple and pleasant-smelling, its formula doesn't dry out.
