WHY HAIR NEEDS MORE CARE IN SUMMER
As temperatures rise, hair changes measurably. UV radiation breaks down the hair’s natural protective barrier, moisture levels decrease, and the fibre structure becomes increasingly porous. At the same time, saltwater and chlorinated water act as amplifiers: they further strip away essential lipids, leaving the hair dull, brittle, and difficult to comb.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE YOUR CONSULTATIVE EXPERTISE IN THE SALON BEGINS
Summer hair is not a “condition” — it is a phase. And that phase requires targeted care solutions that do far more than simply cleanse.
WHAT SUMMER HAIRCARE NEEDS TO DELIVER
Moisture Retention
Panthenol is one of the key active ingredients in this context. It penetrates deep into the hair fibre, helps retain moisture, and noticeably improves elasticity.
Structural Reinforcement
Amino sugars — for example, derived from agave — support the formation of new bonds within the hair structure. This enhances resilience, strength, and flexibility.
Surface Protection
A lightweight protective layer helps shield the hair from external stressors such as UV radiation, wind, and exposure to salt or chlorinated water
LET THE SUN SHINE
When haircare follows a logical structure, it becomes easier to recommend — and easier to sell. That is exactly why the SUN Care Set works so effectively: it combines cleansing, care, and protection within one clear system, making consultation effortless. Shampoo, Mask, and Care Spray work in synergy to deliver exactly what summer hair needs: moisture, structural support, and protection.
A SET DESIGNED TO GO WHERE SUMMER GOES
The SUN Care Set is more than just a product selection — it is a complete ritual for your clients. Whether at the beach, by the pool, at a mountain lake, or on a city trip: the compact sizes fit effortlessly into any bag and ensure effective haircare on the go.
THE GLYNT ESSENTIAL BAG — MORE THAN JUST A COMPLIMENTARY EXTRA
The GLYNT Essential Bag elevates the perceived value of the set while adding genuine practicality.
It is:
- functional — keeping everything organised and within easy reach
- lightweight & durable — ideal for travelling
- emotional — an accessory that captures the spirit of summer
A clear routine instead of standalone products. Instantly easy for clients to understand. Perfect as an impulse purchase ahead of holidays and the start of the summer season.
MORE SHINE, MORE BREEZE!
Heat, humidity, and styling stress — summer brings everything together. The result: frizz, loss of shine, and hair that becomes difficult to control. This is exactly where BREEZE comes in.
One Product, Four Solutions
BREEZE is not a conventional styling product — it is a multifunctional tool designed for everyday salon use:
- heat protection during blow-drying and styling
- anti-frizz control in high humidity
- improved combability on wet and dry hair
- a lightweight shine finish without weighing the hair down
This saves valuable time during service while ensuring consistently reproducible results.
One Product, Four Solutions
Especially during summer, demand increases for uncomplicated at-home solutions. This is exactly how BREEZE should be positioned: one product that solves multiple concerns at once — without adding extra steps to the routine. Talk Beauty. “One spray, four benefits” — it is that simple to communicate and sell. Reduce complexity. The clearer the message, the higher the conversion rate. The performance of BREEZE is exceptionally strong.

COLOUR THRIVES ON VERSATILITY
Whether used as a ready-made shade or custom mixed, MANGALA opens up a wide spectrum of possibilities — not only to refresh colour, but to actively shape it. Nuances can be intensified, adjusted, neutralised, or balanced without placing additional stress on the hair. Especially during summer, when colour tends to fade or shift due to external influences, this flexibility becomes a decisive advantage.
MANGALA restores balance to colour — with greater depth, enhanced shine, and visibly cared-for hair structure. The result is a colour service that evolves into long-lasting performance. And colour becomes an experience that stays with the client.
LONG-LASTING COLOUR PERFORMANCE WITH MANGALA
Salon professionals create beautiful colour results every day. GLYNT MANGALA Colour Treatments help refresh and maintain hair colour between salon appointments. The colour-depositing treatments are ideal as a weekly care ritual. They deeply nourish the hair, deliver radiant shine, and gently deposit fresh pigments — for hair colour that remains vibrant and luminous at all times.
For a truly personalised service experience and stronger client loyalty, you can offer your clients an individually tailored MANGALA blend, perfectly matched to their unique hair colour: the MANGALA PRIVATE FORMULA. The selected formula is dosed directly from the 1L jars into the practical MANGALA PRIVATE FORMULA empty jar, creating a bespoke colour care product for each client. An additional retail advantage: replenishment purchases are exclusively available through your salon, as there is no online competition for a personalised “Private Formula.”
TALK BEAUTY
COLOUR IS EMOTION.
The more precisely you describe a shade — and its individual fit for your client — the stronger the desire for it becomes.
SHADES THAT DEFINE TRENDS
Today’s colour trends are no longer created through strong contrasts, but through subtle nuances. The difference lies in the detail — the right tone, the right reflection, the perfect finish. And that is exactly where MANGALA reveals its strength.
Our Artistic Team presents its favourite summer colour trends together with exclusive MANGALA formulas.
Gritt:
“Barcelona Brunette is currently one of my favourite shades because it delivers exactly that warm, sun-kissed look so many clients want during summer — without ever appearing artificial. With MANGALA, I can precisely control the warmth while creating incredible shine at the same time.”

Dino:
“Copper is everywhere right now — and for good reason: the shade feels vibrant, bold, and completely individual. I love using MANGALA to vary the intensity — from a soft, subtle glow to striking, luminous statement tones.”

Jana:
“The Scandi look remains a timeless trend — clean, cool, and almost minimalist. That is exactly what makes it so desirable. With MANGALA, I can create this clear, understated blonde aesthetic perfectly while instantly neutralising unwanted warmth.”

“Dark tones are experiencing a real comeback right now — especially in this fresh, rich variation. Fresh Espresso feels modern while still looking effortlessly polished. With MANGALA, I can refresh the colour between appointments and restore depth and richness to the hair.”

PERFECT SHADE OF GREY
LOOP GREY COLOUR FOAM
Grey hair has changed. Today, it no longer stands for “concealing” — it represents confidence, style, and authenticity. That is exactly why it requires products that do not cover up, but instead enhance and support its natural character.
GREY IS NOT A COMPROMISE — IT IS A STATEMENT
A Modern Finish
LOOP Grey Colour Foam is a styling mousse enriched with anthracite pigments. Its effect is subtle — refining, balancing, and enhancing the natural grey tone. Uneven yellow undertones are softened, while the hair colour appears clearer, cooler, more defined, and visibly more polished. At the same time, the hair receives structure, hold, and controlled definition.
Simple Application, Strong Results
Application is quick and effortless: distribute a mandarin-sized amount evenly through towel-dried hair, comb through, and blow-dry as desired. In the salon, it becomes a highly appreciated styling upgrade for guests.
WHY LOOP STANDS OUT AT RETAIL
Grey hair requires continuous care. And that is exactly where LOOP shows its strength: one product that works effortlessly at home while extending and maintaining the salon result.
