Keep your hair healthy and the colour vibrant, no matter what the season throws at you, with our expert hair tips.
Travel-proof your hair
I’m often asked why , and it’s quite easy to see why. At home or in the city we are more controlled.
We style it before we go out, and the environment is pretty constant – in and out of buildings, few strong winds, no salt or relative humidity.
Then, we hit the beach, where the UV rays are scorching. The moisture in the humid air curls your hair until it frizzes out or makes your scalp greasier so limp hair is even flatter. Time to act!
Fast fixes for frizzy hair
Humidity makes curly and dry hair frizz. Tame it by using a leave-in conditioner, gel or lightweight serum when you style your hair from damp.
Top hair tip: Always comb your conditioner through to enable every hair to become coated.
Quick fixes for flat hair
Don’t be inclined to over shampoo. It’s better to alternate between a mild shampoo and one specially formulated for greasy hair to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils.
Top hair tip: keep conditioner and styling products to a minimum, as these weigh hair down.
Protect expensive hair colour treatments
Sun lightens, dehydrates and fades that expensive hair colour, so have it done three weeks either side of your holiday when hair is less traumatised, otherwise it can affect the result.
To help replace the moisture and protein that the sun and humidity take out, pack an intensive hair-conditioning treatment.
And remember that chlorine and saltwater can damage your hair too.
