If you are heading away for the summer or plan on soaking up the sun at home, take note of these five tips:
1. Avoid too many products
The sun really dries your hair out so try to keep colouring to a minimum. If you need to get your hair done, the best time is about a month before the temperature rises.
2. Use plenty of conditioner
Make sure you use plenty of conditioner when washing your hair and use a leave-in one before you get into the pool or head to the beach.
3. Shampoo less
Avoid shampooing every day as it can be quite harsh on your hair. If you need to make sure you choose a mild, natural product and don’t rinse and repeat.
4. Keep styling tools to a minimum
Allow your hair to dry naturally as often as possible and only use the straightener and hair dryer every now and then.
5. Cover it from the sun
Wear a hat or scarf when out and about and, just as you would with your skin, keep it away from direct sunlight, particularly during peak hours: 11am – 3pm.
