Summer Haircare Tips & Holiday Essentials

Hair tips from professionals
1. Ditch the heat styling
Embrace your natural texture. Humidity and high heat make it tough to keep smooth styles in place. Gently towel-dry your hair, comb it once, then let it air-dry. If needed, use a cool setting on your hairdryer and finish with a blast of cold air to set the roots.
2. Rinse before you swim
Showering your hair with fresh water before diving into the sea or pool helps prevent it from soaking up too much salt or chlorine. Your strands absorb the clean water first acting like a barrier to damage.
3. Choose protective hairstyles
Avoid tight top knots, which expose fragile ends to UV damage. Instead, opt for loose braids or plaits. Stylish, comfortable, and protective in the heat.
4. Use UV Protection on Hair
Just like your skin, your hair and scalp need sun protection. Use haircare products with UV filters, like the Wella Invigo Sun Protection Spray, to help prevent colour fade and dryness. You can even slick back your hair using a lightweight hair mask for a stylish, wet-look finish that nourishes and protects.
