Blue Lagoon season has arrived with online users sharing their experiences with the geothermal baths. There is no doubt that the iconic and scenic baths are a unique experience, but it is important to know the ins and outs to ensure a relaxing time.
Known for its mineral-rich properties, the baths contain high concentrations of sulfur, silica, and magnesium. Although it sounds appealing to the hair and the skin, it is actually quite an overwhelming amount of minerals for the hair. Too much exposure can lead to an unusual texture for your hair, avoidable with the right steps.
Simply tying up your hair and washing with fresh water after your bathing session can prevent this texture. However, if you are reading this after immersing your hair in the baths, a simple 2-3 washes will have your hair replenished back to its original state.
All hair types and lengths can be affected differently by geothermal waters, which is why it is extremely beneficial to do your research beforehand. The Blue Lagoon also provides hair care products to visitors looking for that extra bit of nourishment.
