Water-Resistant Hair Shields

IGK Hair's BLOCKED Protects Hair from Water, Wind, UV Damage & More

'BLOCKED' is an innovative new water-resistant hair shield from IGK Hair that is touted as a product that can act "as a swim cap for your hair." The creamy product does this by forming a protective barrier with a blend of natural waxes, all of which work together to shield the hair from water, wind, chlorine, sweat and UV rays. The product also boasts the ability to preserve color and is suited for those with straight, wavy, curly or coiled hair types.

To apply BLOCKED, IGK recommends using it on wet or dry hair prior to styling. The product can be worked into the hair with a wide-toothed comb, providing hair not just protection but a stylish wet look. To remove, the cruelty-free and vegan hair product can simply be shampooed out.
