It’s not a mystery how to repair damaged hair after the summer holidays:: you need to incorporate revitalizing, hydrating, and deeply nourishing products into your routine. Here are the 5 latest must-try innovations!
Split ends? Dry and brittle hair? Unsurprisingly, the summer has taken a toll on our hair fiber. The UV rays deeply damaged our locks, harming the keratin that usually acts as a protective shield. Not to mention the sea salt, chlorine, and wind that worsened the situation. To repair your hair, it’s essential to adopt a new routine, filled with nourishing and protective treatments suited to your hair type. Brands are now offering more and more advanced rituals you can do at home with quick results.
At the same time, it’s important to minimize the use of heat styling tools to let your hair regain strength. It’s also worth visiting your hairdresser to trim off the damaged ends. This way you can start fresh and face the new season with healthy hair.
Post-styling hydration: chitosan™ post-styling serum, Dyson
Granted, this is the final step in hair care, but the news is so exciting that we had to start with it! Dyson has just launched its new hair care line, featuring two products: a styling cream and a post-styling serum. We’re focusing on the serum to help repair our damaged hair. While it’s best to avoid heat tools like straighteners and hairdryers, sometimes they’re necessary. In that case, it’s crucial to hydrate your hair as much as possible after styling.
In addition to offering twice the hold without a stiff, sticky feel or residue, the Chitosan™ post-styling serum nourishes and leaves hair smooth and silky. At the heart of the formula is the star ingredient of the line, chitosan, derived from the oyster mushroom, which offers flexible hold throughout the day. It’s paired with hydrating hyaluronic acid and a blend of repairing amino acids. Use on dry, already-styled hair. The bonus? Its pump bottle delivers the perfect amount of product.
Price: around 650 DH for 100 ml.

Deep repair: Absolut repair molecular line, L’Oréal Professionnel
As summer comes to an end, L’Oréal Professionnel introduces a brand-new routine for damaged hair. Featuring a shampoo, a rinse-out repair serum, and a leave-in mask, the Absolut Repair Molecular line boasts the ability to repair two years of damage in just one application. Its secret? Years of research have enabled the decomposition of peptides naturally found in the hair’s molecular structure.
Usually, these peptides are too large to be re-injected, making damage almost irreversible. Here, their small size allows them to penetrate deeply, reforming and reconstructing the hair fiber for long-lasting repair. The result? Intensely nourished, stronger, softer, and shinier hair. Special mention for the line’s fresh fragrance, blending bergamot, sea salt, and sandalwood.
Shampoo (300 ml) at 295 DH, rinse-out serum (250 ml) at 270 DH, and leave-in mask (100 ml) at 240 DH.
Available in selective pharmacies.
Sealing split ends: N°5 Leave-in, Olaplex
Beloved by hairstylists and beauty enthusiasts, Olaplex products now include a new addition: the hydrating and repairing N°5 leave-in conditioner. Applied to clean, damp hair, this leave-in treatment nourishes, softens, and detangles instantly. It also has the special ability to quickly seal split ends, repairing damaged hair and protecting it from external damages like heat styling.
Ingredients include a high-adherence sealing complex, a regenerating blend, and Olaplex Bond Building™ technology, an innovative molecule that strengthens the hair’s internal structure. The N°5 Leave-In can also be used on dry ends between washes for even more durable sealing. A must-have!
Price: around 350 DH for 100 ml.
Available on olaplex.com or at Sephora.
Defining curly hair: Be curly advanced™ line, Aveda
Aveda, the original natural brand, has recently launched a complete line dedicated to curly hair. It includes a shampoo, conditioner, mask, and co-wash (a non-soap treatment used between washes to cleanse without damaging the hair). This silicone-free routine meets the specific needs of curly, frizzy, and wavy hair, which are naturally drier and more fragile.
Key ingredients include a repairing peptide derived from plant proteins, which strengthens damaged hair. Kokum seed butter deeply nourishes and revitalizes the hair fiber. Together, they act as a shield, wrapping the hair to protect it from humidity and instantly reducing frizz. Intensely hydrated, curls are perfectly defined, detangled, and shiny. We especially love the co-wash, which eliminates residue without damaging the hair, allowing you to space out your shampoos.
Price: around 430 DH for the 250 ml shampoo, 500 DH for the 250 ml conditioner, 670 DH for the 200 ml mask, and 580 DH for the 350 ml co-wash.
Aveda products are available at Esthécare or on aveda.fr.
Reviving your color: Baby blonde ritual, Christophe Robin
Summer and colored hair don’t always mix well, and that’s even more true for blondes. Whether you’re naturally blonde, bleached, or highlighted, it’s common to see your color turn yellow, green, or brassy. To neutralize these unwanted tones, there’s only one solution: opt for products with purple pigments. Christophe Robin has just launched the Baby Blonde Ritual, a new daily routine featuring a unique selection of iridescent pigments paired with Iris Florentina flower.
Three products are available: shampoo, conditioner, and treatment mask. In addition to reviving color vibrancy and making blonde hair instantly more luminous, they nourish damaged hair and protect it with buriti oil, almond butter, and a vitamin-enriched complex.
Price: around 310 DH for the 250 ml shampoo, 320 DH for the 250 ml conditioner, and 420 DH for the 250 ml treatment mask.
Christophe Robin products are available at Esthécare or on christopherobin.fr.
