We all know we need to slather our body in suncream for skin protection, but what about our hair? How many of you think about protecting your hair in the high heat while on vacation? It's coming into that time of year for many to pack their summer flip flops and gypsy dresses and head to the coast - which is fabulous - but we need to also think of our hair ladies and here are a few tips on how to protect your luscious locks in the afternoon high heat. Have a great month, love Fiona x #1 Cut Back on Shampoo The oil your hair naturally produces protects it from the sun, so you don’t want to over-wash during the warmer months. You can rise your hair in the shower daily but shy away from shampooing daily (twice a week in summer heat). If you feel your hair needs a clean while beach-side, use a dry shampoo to cleanse the hair. #2 Wear a Hat A wide brimmed hat that will act as a protector for your hair, head and face are a wonderful accessory to any summer wardrobe. It makes sense to wear a hat to offer protection to your hair as those with coloured hair (highlights + lowlights + full colour) will notice your colour fading in the sunlight! #3 Loose Braids A messy braid is ideal for keeping your hair under control and minimizing exposure to the sun. Tight hairstyles can be damaging because they tend to pull and tear hair, especially if your hair is dry Try to blow-dry your hair as little as possible. It is already exposed to a significant amount of heat on a daily basis in the summer, and it will probably air-dry quickly anyways, so give the blow dryer a break and go au naturel if you can. Avoid flat-irons, too, as they will do further damage to already-dry hair. Plus, a sleek hairstyle only makes that frizz stand out more. #5 Hot Oil Rinse Coconut, olive, and avocado oils are good at penetrating the hair shaft. Shampoo hair as usual, then work in oil from ends to roots. Rinse, then condition as usual. Your hair should feel moisturized afterward, but not greasy. from the summer heat. #4 No-or-low blow-dry
