#MySummerRitual with Klorane

Summer is here and it's time to choose my Klorane hair ritual! This summer, I’m using the Klorane Desert date range to keep my coloured hair nourished and restored. The Desert date range is made for those with dry, damaged and brittle hair and so it's perfect for those who are constantly colouring their hair, or have naturally dry hair.

The Desert date range smells delicious with a subtle hint of sweetness, and kind of almost like Christmas baking! And, it now also includes the new Dessert date hair mask which is super exciting.

Made from dates hand-picked in the Sub-Sahel region of Africa and sourced through a fair-trade plant supply chain, Klorane's Desert date range complements the Great Green Wall project with the Klorane Botanical Foundation, and has helped plant more than 10,000 desert date trees annually to help fight desertification.

Desert dates are rich in essential fatty acids, proteins and sugars and are great in helping repair damaged and dry hair. Use this range if you want to restore strength and silkiness to your hair, and strengthen it to protect from breakage.

The Klorane Desert date range line-up includes four products: a shampoo (which is available in both 200ml and 400ml sizes), conditioner (200ml), leave-in cream (125ml) and the new Desert date mask (150ml).

I absolutely LOVE hair masks so I'm excited to see the Klorane Desert date range now include the new Klorane Desert date hair mask. Hair masking is an absolute game changer when it comes to keeping hair healthy. Like face masking, once you start hair masking, you won't be able to imagine life without it.

There are two different ways you can use a hair mask. The first is the proper way - apply the mask to freshly shampooed towel-dried hair for anywhere between 5-20 minutes. You can wrap your hair in a hair-towel or war a shower cap whilst you wait. The longer you leave it, the deeper the treatment.

Alternatively, another way you can mask is to do the same thing in the shower. I find it works just as well for me and leaves my hair feeling healthy and repaired.

When I'm using a hair mask, I skip out on the conditioner. So for me, having a 400ml shampoo + 200ml conditioner + 150ml hair mask set works best! For added nourishment, be sure to use the leave-in-cream to keep your hair silky and repaired. I love using leave-in creams like this on a day to day basis, kind of like a daytime face moisturiser.

Using good quality hair products is a big reason for being able to continue to colour my hair from black to various shades of blonde, and still being able to keep it healthy and smooth. If you love colouring your hair like me, or have dry/damaged hair in general, definitely try switching up your products and trying something like the Klorane Desert date range to see if it works better for you!
