Hair & scalp sun protection heroes

Hair & scalp sun protection heroes
Sam Robinson

We share the latest summer must-haves from Centred, O&M & INNOluxe. 

We wouldn’t dream of going in the sun without protection and we know to moisturise afterwards, but often forget to apply the same principles to our scalp and hair. Kieran Tudor is the Co-Founder of Centred (stocked in Selfridges and salons nationwide) and award-winning Hairdresser who’s worked with the likes of Victoria Beckham. He shares his summer Centred tips with us. 

“Protecting your scalp in the sun is just as essential as the rest of your skin, for the most part our scalps are protected by our hair, but when the scalp is exposed you need to pay more attention. Exposed scalp can be due to partings and thinning patches, and I’d always recommend trying to keep them covered in peak sunlight hours with a hat.

Top Tip
At the very least, apply a mist of Unwind Detangling Primer to hair and scalp before sun exposure. The vitamin enriched spritz with Vitamin E, Panthenol and Glycerin aids in moisture retention whilst adding a protective barrier against heat, sun damage and pollutants. Applying Unwind to damp hair before styling aids in detangling and protecting strands to help reduce breakage. By helping to seal the cuticle layer post-wash, Unwind also helps to prolong colour treated hair, retaining vibrancy and shine. You can keep Unwind with you on hot days at the beach or around the pool and reapply to your hair and scalp regularly.

After Sun Scalp Care
Apply En-Root Scalp oil after a day in the sun and allow the luxurious oils to deeply nourish and moisturise your scalp, addressing any dryness or irritation. Follow with Daily Calma shampoo infused with Aloe Vera and Chamomile to help reduce inflammation, soothe and calm the scalp,”- Kieran Tudor.

O&M’S AFTER SUN EXPOSURE 

If hair is feeling parched a little tender, these are the products to reach for.

NEW O&M Detox Conditioner, £27.50 
It acts like a make-up remover for hair, and even cleanses away that holiday swimming pool chlorine. Peppermint Oil stimulates the scalp whilst Jojoba Esters help retain colour and stop fading.

INNOluxe Calm Down Shampoo (£24), Conditioner (£23), & Tonic (£22)

Many scalp care ranges are developed to treat the scalp, but aren’t formulated to care for the hair strands, leaving it feeling dry. INNOluxe Calm Down does both, with a vegan and cruelty free formula that’s gentle but powerful. 

This unique formula with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties goes beyond cleansing, leaving scalps clean, flake-free, calmer and stronger that ever. 

Calm Down not only soothes and provides long-lasting relief but also tirelessly nurtures each hair strand, infusing it with intense hydration for hair that’s not only silky and shiny, but brimming with health and strength. 

Calm Down Tonic delivers instant relief to scalps after sun exposure, cooling and soothing the skin.
