While daily skincare routines often focus on facial sun protection, hair is just as vulnerable to sun damage and colour fading. Vichy's Capital Soleil Cell Protect Oil Spray SPF50 offers a nourishing, lightweight solution to keep hair hydrated, shiny, and shielded from UV rays during the summer months.

  • Strong SPF50 protection suitable for hair, face, and body
  • Contains hydrating squalane and antioxidant vitamin E
  • Lightweight, quick-absorbing, and silky dry-oil formula

What happened

As summer heatwaves intensify, people are becoming more aware of the need to protect their hair from sun damage just as much as their skin. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can dry out hair, cause breakage, and accelerate fading of dyed colours. In response, Vichy launched a multi-purpose spray with SPF50 that guards hair, as well as skin and face, from harmful UV rays.

This innovative spray blends a strong sun protection factor with nourishing ingredients like squalane, which replicates natural oils to maintain moisture, and vitamin E, an antioxidant that combats oxidative stress triggered by UV exposure. The convenient spray format ensures easy application, especially to the hair ends, which are most susceptible to damage and fading.

Why it feels good

Users of Vichy's Capital Soleil Cell Protect Oil Spray have praised its lightweight texture, which leaves hair glossy without any greasy residue when applied mainly to the ends. Unlike heavier products, it absorbs quickly and doesn’t cause stickiness or white cast. The oil also smooths hair, making it ideal for styling, particularly when slicking hair back.

Many have noticed their dyed hair maintains its vibrancy for longer stretches between washes and colour treatments. The nourishing effect on both hair and skin results in an overall healthier appearance, even after spending hours outdoors or swimming in chlorinated or salty water. This combo of protection and care makes it a welcome addition to summer beauty routines.

What to enjoy or watch next

For those preparing for holidays or upcoming heatwaves, this multi-tasking spray is an excellent travel companion, capable of shielding face, body, and hair in one easy step. Pairing it with additional gentle sunscreens for the scalp or makeup sprays can further enhance sun protection without discomfort or excess product buildup.

As sun protection awareness grows beyond just skin care, expect to see more innovative products targeting hair health. Meanwhile, enjoying the sunny season without worrying about hair damage or dull colour is now simpler than ever with products like Vichy's SPF spray. Keep an eye out for similar multitasking beauty essentials that blend protection with nourishment.
