Philip Kingsley Swimcap Water Resistant Mask

Originally designed for Olympic swimmers, this is one of the best for preventing both chlorine and UV-related damage. It’s a cream formula, so helps to keep hair smooth, and can be simply shampooed out once you’re out of the pool. Blondes, take note.

Oribe Invisible Defense Universal Protection Spray

Now 12% Off

Nuxe's hair-specific sunscreen oil is perfect for hair that tends to feel straw-like after a day under the rays. It's rich and decadent, with a base of jojoba and coconut oils, yet washes out with a single shampoo – and of course, the smell is divine too.

Hair By Sam McKnight SunDaze Sea Spray

Sam McKnight's triumphant summer formula is really a styling product first and a protective tonic second. Misted lightly over lengths, it'll encourage textured waves and curls without the crunchy feeling that most salt sprays produce: it's "sea-kissed texture like the ultimate Ibizan cool girl," as the man himself puts it. The UV protection is a (very welcome) bonus.

Coola Scalp & Hair Mist

Those with fine hair will likely know the feeling of a sunburned scalp all too well. For heavy-duty protection on hot-weather holidays, try Coola's scalp and strand sunscreen. It's watery in texture, but does a serious job of shielding from UV rays, and can be misted straight onto the top of your head throughout the day.

Clarins Sun Care Oil Mist for Body and Hair SPF30

If you’re packing for a long weekend, this multi-tasking spray will help free up some space. Designed to be used on both hair and body, the nourishing oil formula will cover all your sun-protection needs. You'll want to wash your hair before cocktail hour (or practice that slicked-back bun), but the high UV protection it offers is worth it.
