Keep your hair at its best if you are off in search of the sun this summer. Here are some tips.
- Remember, the sun can damage your hair. A pretty simple rule is, 'if you have to protect your skin, protect your hair.'
Although hair care products do not carry a specific 'spf' (sun protection factor) as skincare products do, you can now buy products with UV protection. We love the Bondi 'Beach Babe' leave in conditioner with sunscreeen. Sadly this will be the last summer you can buy this product as it has been discontinued. (shame.) I think we are down to our last three bottles!
- Top tip number 2 is wet your hair.
Before you get into the pool or the sea, wet your hair down with a bit of bottled water. Your hair, at the cortex, can act like a sponge. It is better to fill it with pure water as this will prevent it from soaking up chlorine from the pool.
- Braid it / plait it
A scalp plait or braided hair is less likely to be dried out or to be affected by the humidity in hot climates.
- Cover up!
Wearing a hat or silk scarf is the most certain way to prevent a halo of frazzle developing across your halo of highlights.
- Condition and care.
After a long day in the sun, give your hair a treat! Come into the salon for a dose of our 'miracle' treatment, L'Oreal Fiberceutic 'Botox for the hair.' At just £15 this will rejuvinate horrid holiday hair in minutes, leaving it silky smooth. We also stock a range of masks, creams and treatments you can enjoy at home.
