Here comes the sun, and don't we all feel better? It's not such a great season for hair though, and in the soon we see more condition damage and colour fade almost as soon as the temperature starts to rise. Follow these five tips to keep your hair looking great this Summer.
1. Moisture, moisture, moisture! Even when humidity is high, soaring (or even just varying) temperatures can leave hair looking fried and frizzy. Lots of conditioner, especially leave-in conditioner helps here.
2. Don't over-lighten. You remember the neighbour in "There's Something About Mary"? That over-brown leathery skin and bleached hair? Not a great look. Luckily, this season's blondes have more tone - don't be afraid to soften with golden blondes or even light brunettes which will flatter tanned skin.
3. Give your hair a holiday. Treat your style to a break from heat-styling - yes, I know it can be tough, but your hair will thank you for it when the sun shines.
4. Use protection. Lots of styling and finishing products have UV filters which can help prevent damage and fade and some manufacturers have sun-specific ranges too. Remember to reapply after swimming. On a budget? Get a hat: a physical barrier between hair and sun is the best protection possible.
5. Don't get the runs. Hair is naturally dryer at the ends, and styling and colouring don't help. Get dryness trimmed ASAP to prevent splits running up the air shaft - it'll be more than a trim if you wait!
Have fun in the sun
