The countdown to summer is officially on – and we couldn’t be more excited for warm weather, patio dining and refreshing glasses of rosé. From BBQs with your bestie, to lounging by the beach, and everything in-between, summer is all about sun-kissed skin, flowy dresses and cute sandals. That’s right, Blo babes, time to ditch the Zoom meetings and enjoy the summer fun.
And while we can’t wait for summer, we CAN do without the excessive amount of UV exposure, chlorine, and overall dryness that can have some seriously not-so-hot affects on our hair. Luckily, there are many products out there to protect our gorgeous strands while we celebrate the great outdoors. Without further ado, we bring you Blo’s 2022 summer selection.
COLOR WOW: Dream Coat
Of course, we had to include Color WOW Dream Coat, the #1 anti-frizz, humidity-proofing sealant in North America, at the top of our list. This best-selling product leaves hair super glossy and ultra-smooth, with a “glass-like finish” as celebrity stylist Chris Appleton would say. Oh, and did we mention that this “magic in a bottle” mini keratin treatment lasts for up to 4 shampoos? That’s right, this is the perfect summer sidekick for a weekend at the lake house, keeping your hair silky and smooth during your much-deserved getaway.
UNITE: U Oil
While soaking up the sun and taking a dip in the pool are our two favorite summer activities, they can wreak havoc on hair cuticles. Too much UV and chlorine exposure can dry out the hair, leaving the ends broken and “straw-like.” But have no fear, U Oil is here to save the day (don’t worry, you don’t have to give up your precious “me time” in the sun). U Oil gives hair the extra shine and moisture it craves while sealing the cuticle and protecting hair from frizz, heat, and UV damage. Now here’s the kicker, did we mention it reduces blow dry time? Talk about a win!
OLAPLEX NO.3 : Hair Perfector
The slicked-back “model-off-duty” low bun has been a go-to look for years now – and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. Seen on A-list celebrities, including Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Olivia Rodrigo, the low bun is the perfect ‘do for those hot and sticky summer days, keeping your hair up and strands at bay. Rated the #1 product in prestige haircare, the Olaplex No.3 weekly at-home treatment visibly strengthens hair and reduces breakage. While you can style your hair any way after using this product (we love a versatile queen), we recommend using this for those days when you want to give your hair a break and just slick it back. Simply apply Olaplex No.3 hair protector all over, comb through to saturate, and twist your hair into the perfect low bun for a high-gloss finish and a shiny, tight hold.
UNITE: BEACH Day
Who says you have to go to the beach to get that effortless beachy look? While not all of us have the luxury of going to a beach this summer, it doesn’t mean you can’t fake it. With UNITE’S Beach Day texturizing sea salt spray, you can bring the beach to you. Containing natural sea salt and other plant-based moisturizers, BEACH Day gives you that tousled texture while adding thickness and curl retention.
COLOR WOW: Dream Cocktails
While summertime is all about fancy cocktails on the patio, at the beach club, or poolside with your crew, why can’t happy hour be for your hair too? Coming in three unique formulas, each bionic tonic provides different benefits to your hair. Whether you have dry, fine, or damaged hair – there is a cocktail suited just for you. Repairing all types of dull, dehydrated, straw-like hair, the coconut-infused formula instantly hydrates and restores silky suppleness. If breakage is your problem, then the kale-infused formula is for you, as it makes hair up to 50% stronger with just one use. Strands looking a little limp and dull? Try the carb-infused formula that can thicken and add mass to your locks. Not sure which cocktail to use? Why not grab all three – they aren’t mutually exclusive and can be layered on top of one another. The more the merrier as we always say 😉
UNITE: BLONDA Fix
Calling all blonde babes – we have the perfect companion to help you fast-track your way to lighter and brighter hair. We know how brassy hair can get from the sun, or exposure to high levels of copper in water – but no worries babe, UNITE’S Blonda Fix is the ultimate defense. Not only does this product strengthen and repair, but it also tones and brightens, all in one fabulous formula. This deeply reparative, ultra-violet treatment will have blonde hair looking healthier and brighter, and feeling smoother and stronger, after just one use.
UNITE: BOING Moisture Curl Cream
Moisture lacking curls need balance: deep hydration from root to end, but nothing too heavy. Unite’s Boing Moisturizing Curl Cream gives curls a fine-tuned styling solution that delivers frizz-free, humidity–fighting moisture, all while avoiding icky product build-up. Made with coconut and argan oils.*tropical sigh*
