Does your hair have the end-of-season-blues? Here are the top tricks that Ibiza girls use on the island to pep up their post-summer locks.

Pure salt is one of the earth&rsquo;s treasures and has been used for centuries for it smoothing, calming and antibacterial properties. Scalp feeling a little unloved? Mix a small spoonful of Ibiza&rsquo;s raw sea salt &ndash; we love <a href="https://www.saldeibiza.com/es/">Sal de Ibiza</a> &ndash; with a few drops of an organic oil such as argan or almond. Massage gently into the scalp for five minutes then wash and condition as usual. Voila! A smooth, clarified scalp and bouncy refreshed hair.&nbsp;

Lavender is cooling, calming and provides the ultimate scent of the Mediterranean. The fragrance is&nbsp;released through oils which are extracted from the petals and leaves when the plant is crushed, so next time you walk past a wild lavender bush, grab a handful of flowers and rub them rapidly between your palms. When the scent has been releases, glide your hands through your hair to distribute fragrance and glow.

Lavender

Chamomile &ndash; manzanilla in Spanish - grows freely in Ibiza and nothing peps up dull blonde tones like a cool chamomile rinse. Pick handfuls of the white and yellow flowers next time you see them &ndash; they&rsquo;ll keep and are just as potent dry. When you&rsquo;re ready, steep a couple of handfuls in boiling water and leave to cool. Follow up your usual routine with a joyful chamomile rinse to ensure ashy blonde tones without a hint of brassiness

Used for thousands of years by women in India, Egypt and beyond, the benefits of olive oil on the hair and body in fact are extraordinary. It is soothing, strengthening, regenerative and replenishing, working particularly well on hair that is dry or brittle (summer hair, anyone?) For the best results, use on damp hair and smooth through to the ends. Wrap hair in a warm towel and leave overnight if you can. The higher grade the olive oil, the greater the benefits, so why not go all out and use a small-batch cold press Ibiza olive oil like that made by Can Miquel Guasch at <a href="https://www.sesescoles.com/en/oleoteca/">Oleoteca Ses Escoles.</a>

Olive oil

The grande-dame of Mediterranean aromatics, this woody perennial native is found all over the Balearics and its medicinal scent, mixed with the crushed needles of sabina pine, is the fragrance of Ibiza. Rosemary is a <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/rural-ritual-the-women-honouring-ibiza-s-herbs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">healing herb</a> and has been used as food and medicine for centuries. Much like oregano, peppermint, and cinnamon, rosemary is frequently found in essential oil form. <a href="https://www.planetahuerto.es/venta-aceite-esencial-de-romero-planeta-huerto-15-ml_243277?esl-k=google-ads%7Cnx%7Cc%7Cm%7Ckpla%7Cp%7Ct%7Cdc%7Ca%7Cg18006166294&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw-fmZBhDtARIsAH6H8qh5pg3xkLSiBcS7bpLSVFzaB2BAAMB1RwhgKSpfZr5-8akNsfl3h3MaArI9EALw_wcB" style="letter-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Rosemary oil</a> is a highly potent elixir with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and ancient use in Mediterranean cultures suggests that the oil may be used for hair growth and to prevent female hair loss. To do as the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/formentera-s-fascinating-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phoenicians</a> did, add a couple of drops of rosemary oil to your hair rinse, or simply drop two or three stems of the plant into your bath for an invigorating soiak.
