How to Best Prep Your Hair
Good preparation is half the work! ‘Prepping’ your hair is an essential step for the longevity of your look. Prepping means preparing your hair before creating the final look (for example, curls). This process ensures your hair responds better to styling products and keeps your hair in perfect shape longer! Below we explain how to prep your hair, so what you do before you use the curling iron:
1. Dry Shampoo: The Savior in Need
Why: Use a dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and give your hair a fresh look, especially when you don’t have time to wash it. Dry shampoo also instantly adds a bit of volume and texture, helping your curls hold even better later!
Extra tip: Festivals can be hectic, and it can be hard to wash your hair regularly. Dry shampoo is ideal for keeping your hair fresh and voluminous between washes.

Protect your hair from the sun
Last but not least. UV protection for your hair. Festivals take place in the summer, which means your hair is exposed to a lot of UV radiation. This can damage and dry out your hair, something you obviously want to prevent. With the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Sun Scalp & Hair Mist you can effectively protect your hair from these harmful rays. The spray hydrates your hair thanks to a vitamin complex, gives a beautiful shine, and nourishes intensively. With this product, your hair will shine even more than the sun!
Protect your skin from the sun & shine!
Besides protecting your hair from the harmful UV rays of the sun, it’s also important to protect your skin from UV rays. Of course, you want to shine at your favorite festival, and the best way to do that is with a sparkling sunscreen like the Gleam Sunscreen with glitter. We love that sunkissed look!
This is how your makeup look stays put all day

Then there are hydrating primers that give your skin a beautiful glow and prevent your makeup from drying out.
