Here are the 4 hair commandments for luscious locks when the sun is shining.

Number one,

PROTECT IT! For frizzy, coloured or dry hair opt for an oil treatment.

Now, don’t scream! The greasy appearance will disappear after you have applied it because the oil will be absorbed by your hair.

For normal locks go for a hair milk, which has a lighter texture and is better suited to this hair type and its needs. Fine hair and/or greasy scalps also need protecting, but with a hair day cream.

Number two,

The principle of protecting your skin and hair from UV rays at the beach also applies when you are out and about in town.

So, just like lipstick, at any time of the day apply a hair day cream as a final touch like you would any other styling product.

Number three,

Hydration is the key. The foursome of sea, salt, sun and wind has a devastating effect on hair. B

etween each wash, treat the lengths with a nourishing mask. This is the secret to providing the respect that your hair deserves.

Number four,

Forget all the tricks your grandmother taught you like that thing with the hot towel, or olive oil, or lemon juice….

All you need to achieve good results is to follow a regular hair care routine and above all use products chosen or suggested by the person who knows your hair best: your hair care consultant.

Leave the mask to work its magic for the recommended time. After all, you have time while you are on holiday!

And after all that good advice, my pen deserves a summer break too. Enjoy your holidays!
