Holiday Hair Care

So you're going away, your main focus is relax, drink lots of cocktails eat lots of lovely food and most of all get that lovely glowing tan that you've been missing all winter. 

Of course you're be loading your skin up with protective sun cream all day long up to 4 times a day, as you should! Burnt skin is the last thing you want! 

But what about your hair? What about protecting those lovely locks you've worked so hard to protect during your normal daily routine? What about that amazing colour you had done just days before you jetted off? 

DON'T NEGLECT YOUR HAIR! 
Here are some tips for keeping your hair looking and feeling lovely while you enjoy your downtime in the sun. 

•   If you we're thinking of using hair lighteners in the sun... Don't. Do you know what's in them? have you ever seen any hairdresser whip out a bottle of "Sun-in" to give you lovely, even highlights? No! If a hairdresser won't go near it, you shouldn't either.  Sun-In is a Bleach product which will leave your hair TOTALLY over processed, dry and brittle!

• COVER UP- When you can, try to keep your head and hair covered up completely by wearing a hat. This is possibly the best protection for hair against sun because your hair will be completely shaded. Although I know it's not possible to keep a hat on all the time especially when you're swimming!

• Going swimming? The chlorine in the water will really dry your hair out leaving you struggling to get a brush through it afterwards then you end up with a horrible, matted mess! ALWAYS rinse hair and skin after swimming in the pool to get rid of as much chlorine as possible then apply a de-tangling product and thoroughly brush hair through.

• Sun protecting hair products. There are literally SO MANY products out there to help protect your hair against the sun. how are you supposed to be able to choose between them all?? Make sure whatever it is that you choose has some kind of SPF protection in it (preferably SPF 20 or more). Not only will this protect your hair against the suns harmful rays, it protects your scalp too!

• CONDITION. CONDITION. CONDITION! It's common knowledge that the sun dries out your hair. It's so important to replace any moisture lost while you're on holiday. I suggest to use a deep conditioning treatment every night or every other night while you are on holiday, depending on your hair type. 

Enjoy your holiday!! And don't make us too jealous Of your glowing tan!! Xx
