Stop frazzling your locks this summer and avoid committing these sinful hair care mistakes!
1) Staying in the Sun for too long
You wouldn't allow your skin to burn (well most of us anyway) in the Sun so why would you do this to your hair? The Sun breaks down the protein structure of the hair and draws moisture from the hair cells. This combination creates roughened hair cuticles and gives the impression of dry, coarse and frizzy hair. Keep it covered during the hottest times, with a sun hat or sit in the shade.
2) Forgetting Weekly Treatments
When it comes to pre holiday hair care it is all about preparation. Get your hair into its best possible state, before you step foot on any beach or plane. Use weekly intensive moisturizing treatments, we recommend L'anza's Trauma Treatment or Moisture MoiMoi Masque. If your thoughts to this are you don't have time, simply switch your usual conditioner for a intensive masque. It will prep your hair for sun exposure, whilst keeping strength and moisture levels in place.
3) Forgetting your pre holiday appointment
Visit the salon before your holiday to ensure your hair is fully prepared for a week or two in intense sunshine. Having a in salon treatment and a hair cut will make a world of difference, even just a trim!
4) Not using protection
Leaving your hair unprotected from the suns harmful rays is only going to result in damage. Invest in products that shield against UV rays. Once again we recommend L'anza as their entire range provides UVA, UVB and UVC protection and are colour safe too.
5) Avoiding the salon upon your return
After your holiday, even if you have been super careful, pop into the salon for a in salon hair masque to give your hair a pampering treat.
Don't be a sinner this Summer, look after your locks and enjoy the Sun with beautiful hair.
