5 Ulta Beauty Products To Detox Your Post-Festival Hair
These products from Ulta Beauty will help rinse away the glitter and grime and bring your hair back to life.
The only thing thriving after a festival is the Instagram carousel you posted on the car ride home. Marathon concert weekends leave even the strongest among us with sore feet, a foggy brain, and the harsh reality of a Monday morning work call that hits a little too hard. But festival recovery doesn’t have to be all doom and dehydration. Ulta Beauty has all the post-festival recovery essentials to help you reset your routine and give your body (and hair) the break they deserve.
Start with your strands. After a weekend of tight braids, sticky gels, volumizing sprays, and hours under the sun and dust, your hair is practically begging for a reset. A restorative, at-home rehab session is just what it needs. From clarifying shampoos to soothing scalp treatments, these five products — all available at Ulta Beauty — will help rinse away the glitter and grime and bring your hair back to life.
Think of this pre-shampoo treatment as IV therapy for your scalp — minus the needle. Massage it into dry hair for five minutes, leave it on for 15, and rinse. The blend of fermented black and green tea delivers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, while filtered glycolic acid dissolves buildup and dead skin. The result is a balanced, hydrated scalp that feels refreshed for up to 72 hours.
Give your follicles the equivalent of a deep-cleaning facial. With its blend of natural exfoliants, essential oils, and nutrient-rich vitamins, this 2-in-1 shampoo and scalp scrub removes residue and product film, soothes irritation and dryness, and protects against environmental damage. The scent alone — zesty lemon, herbaceous rosemary, uplifting peppermint — is enough to erase any post-festival blues.
Strong hair starts at the roots. Powered by barrier-protecting copper tripeptide-1, clarifying tea tree oil, strengthening amino acids, and hydrating hyaluronic acid, this scalp serum supports healthier, fuller-looking hair in as little as six weeks. The lightweight, non-greasy, tingly-in-a-good-way formula is designed to be left in, so the ingredients can work their magic while you sleep or go about your day.
If your last run-in with a clarifying shampoo left your hair stripped and lifeless, it’s time to forget everything you thought you knew. Today’s detox formulas are all about gently exfoliating the scalp without stripping necessary moisture. This one goes a step further, offering targeted cleansing with a precision nozzle and leaving behind serious shine and bounce.
While you’re running the course of repairing your hair, it’s time to ease up on those tight ponytails and buns that can do more harm than good. Instead, reach for soft, satin scrunchies like these — they’re a gentle alternative that won’t tug, break, or leave dents in your strands. Perfect for keeping your hair up during treatments or even overnight, they give you all the hold without the damage. One pack includes five shades, so you can switch it up for a fresh, chic vibe every day of the week.
