How to Protect Your Hair This Holiday With Moroccanoil

The South African summer is beautiful, but tough on your hair. Sun, heat, humidity, chlorine, and saltwater can leave your hair dry, frizzy, and fragile. With the right Moroccanoil routine, you can keep your hair hydrated, nourished, smooth, and glossy all season long.

Why Holiday Hair Needs Extra Protection

In summer, your hair faces:

• Intense UV exposure
  
  

• Moisture loss from heat
  
  

• Humidity-induced frizz
  
  

• Damage from chlorine and saltwater
  
  

• More frequent heat styling
  
  

These elements weaken the hair’s moisture and protein balance. Moroccanoil helps replenish what summer strips away with Argan Oil–rich, hydrating, strengthening formulas.

Why Moroccanoil Works

1. Argan Oil = Softness, Shine & Protection

Argan Oil is naturally rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish, hydrate, and smooth hair while adding weightless shine.

2. Protein + Moisture Balance (The Mask Magic)

Moroccanoil masks combine moisture and strengthening proteins to leave hair softer, smoother, and more resilient, especially after heat, colour, or chemical exposure.

3. Advanced Heat Protection Technology

Moroccanoil heat protectants create an invisible shield around each strand, reducing damage from styling tools up to 230°C.
