how to protect your hair from the sea, sun and pool in lebanon

Short answer: Wet your hair with fresh water before you swim, rinse it straight after, cover it in strong sun, and smooth a leave-in serum through your lengths once you've rinsed. That last step is where Get Glazy comes in: hair oil serum capsules from Beirut that help sea- and sun-dried lengths feel softer and look glossier, and a capsule fits in any beach bag. In strong sun, a hat or a scarf is still the best protection for your hair.

what summer does to your hair

Sea salt pulls moisture out of hair, pool water is treated with chlorine, and strong sun dries lengths and fades colour. A Lebanese summer gives you all three, plus humidity on the coast, so hair often ends the season rough, frizzy and dull.

Rinse with fresh water as soon as you're out.
Cover up in strong sun with a hat or a scarf.
Wear a braid or a bun at the beach to cut tangles.
Smooth a leave-in serum through your lengths after rinsing.
Skip hot tools on beach days and give your hair a break.

Frequently asked questions

Does Get Glazy protect hair from the sun?

It isn't a sunscreen. Use a hat or a scarf in strong sun. Get Glazy helps afterwards: it helps sun- and sea-dried lengths feel softer and look smoother.

Should I put oil on my hair before swimming?

Some people coat their lengths before swimming so they soak up less salt or chlorine. Wetting your hair with fresh water first does a similar job. Either way, rinse with fresh water as soon as you're out.

How do I keep coloured hair from fading in summer?

Cover it in the sun, rinse after the pool, wash less often with a gentle shampoo and keep your lengths conditioned. Coloured & Bleached is made for dyed and lightened hair.
