bdBLOG: Beach bag beauty essential

Summer plays havoc on my hair. When I’m not on the beach doing surf lifesaving patrols, I’m found lying around the sand and surf with friends. 

While the last couple of summers I’ve been oh-so-very-good with protecting my skin with regular sunscreen application, the same cannot be said about my hair. 

Think dry, tangled knots and you’re coming close to what my hair looks like after a weekend in the sun and waves. Attractive!

This summer there’s one little magic product that is set to turn this problem around. Welcome to the newest member of my beauty routine – QV Hair Control Serum. 

This clever little thing not only conditions and reduces frizz, but it also protects hair from the sun. 

Containing deimethiconol that coats the hair shaft and smoothes your hair cuticles to reduce split ends, this ingredient also has a shine complex that delivers glossy, lustrous hair. 

But the thing I’m most excited about is the inclusion of HeatProII, a dual-purpose protection system that provides a UV filter to protect hair from sun rays while also giving hair protection from heat styling tool such as hair dryers and straighteners. 

Packed in a small 50ml tube, this summer I’ll be packing both the sunscreen and serum into my beach bags.
