Something new just flew in from Italy! Our gigantic shipment of Biofficina Toscana products arrived last week, and it included some thrilling additions to their hair care line that you'll want to know about.

Sun & Chlorine Protection for Summer Hair

Exposure to UV rays, salt water, and chlorine can affect hair more than you might imagine. Biofficina Toscana's new Two-Phase Spray Conditioner features softening organic Tuscan helichrysum and mullein flower extracts along with highly biodegradable conditioners that specifically target the moisture loss caused by salt and chlorine exposure. It's also one of those Goldilocks products that gives hair just enough weight and nourishment, but not too much.

The After Sun Hair Cream is a richer, more moisturizing formula made with fermented rice water to deeply hydrate dry, sun-stressed hair, along with organic Tuscan helichrysum and mullein flower extracts to soothe. Think of it as the restorative companion to the Two-Phase Spray Conditioner: while the lightweight spray protects hair in real time, the After Sun Hair Cream repairs it afterward. It has a delightfully melty texture that's in between a cream and a balm, and 100% perfect.

Glycolic & Hyaluronic Acid Treatments for Shine & Bounce

Pining for shine and bounce? It could be that your hair craves hydration and strengthening at a deeper level.

Biofficina Toscana's new Intensive Hair Booster is a restorative hair serum with a "filler effect" that provides instant body and bounce as well as long-term revitalization, thanks to triple-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, Tuscan olive extract, botanical keratin, and restorative grape yeast. It's our "instant bounce" favorite to give body to any hair type.

If your hair is naturally porous or has become damaged over time from heat styling and treatments, check out the Glycolic Shine Leave-In Serum. With 1% glycolic acid and Tuscan camellia oil, it smooths and seals the hair fiber for a glassy shine, while botanical keratin, rice water, and plant-based amino acids add bounce, strength, and hydration. It leaves hair gorgeously glassy, super smooth, and supremely easy to style.

The Glycolic Shine Gloss-Enhancing Dry Oil is a beautiful finishing touch, providing immediate shine and softness without the heaviness and greasiness one might expect from a hair oil. One of its secrets: sea beetroot extract, which makes hair visibly shinier, softer, and easier to comb.

Curl & Wave Mousse for Humidity Control

Shine and bounce can be a trickier ask if you have curls or waves, but Biofficina Toscana has a brilliant answer. Lightweight, totally non-sticky, and humidity-fighting, the Curls and Waves Mousse is the superhero you'll want carrying you through the rest of the season. 
The formula's plant-based curl activator leans on linseed and chia seed extracts, known in natural hair care circles for their ability to coat the hair shaft with a light, flexible film. Organic Tuscan kiwi extract, sourced from a farm in Pisa, adds a dose of vitamins and protective antioxidant benefits, while a plant-based structuring polymer helps protect and define hair even in damp or humid conditions. It's a star.

All of these were fast favorites with the Ayla team. A few of us have already run off with the testers, noting, "I just want to try it one more time" — always the sign of something fantastic.
