Looking After Your Hair In The Sun
Summertime is one of the most beautiful times of year anywhere in the world
There is nothing more Australian than crunchy, salty hair in summer that shines flecks of gold from the sun. So good for the soul, but not good for those pre-coloured mid-lengths and ends. Let’s face it, anyone over 30 has been colouring their hair for a few years so those mid-lengths and ends will need a little extra love than what they did when you were a kid. Follow these steps below for the quickest easiest low maintenance ways of looking after your hair in the sun.
Rinse your hair after the beach. Simple but so easy to just keep the hair messy, you’re only back at the beach tomorrow, right? No, rinse your hair at the end of the day, this will stop your mid-lengths and ends from drying out. If you’re a restless sleeper think of all the friction that pillow will be creating on those salty ends.
Just use conditioner. Don’t feel like because your hair is wet you need to wash it. Apply a small amount of Treatment conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends to help with hydration and tangles.
Treat your hair. At the end of the week set aside some time to really treat your hair. Wash the hair twice with Hydrating shampoo then apply Treatment conditioner. I swear by combing this product through the hair, use a soft bristle brush or Tangle Teezer to make sure every strand is loved. Clip the hair up and leave for 5 minutes.
Ease up on the styling tools. Try and give your hair a break from the straightening irons or curling tongs. Embrace your beautiful summer hair.
Dry shampoo. Most of us will be working over summer so to keep your hair looking professional in the heat use dry shampoo. Apply dry shampoo 30 centimeters away from the scalp and leave it there for 2 minutes. It’s terribly boring waiting 2 minutes but if you don’t you are at high risk of having a lovely white powder puff mark without realising it. Read our blog post on What Is The Best Dry Shampoo
Wear a slick ponytail or bun. Sleek and stylish - perfect for work or in the evening after a day at the beach.
Summer is such a beautiful time of year, enjoy and have lots of fun!
