With all this in mind, before you start trying to recreate those catwalk styles, let’s get the foundations right, and that starts with a healthy head of hair. There are many ways in which you can achieve this, but here are a few of our faves.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again, heat protection is your best friend. Using a heat spray is one of the best ways to protect your hair from long term damage of blow drying and using heated tongs. Heat can not only make your hair brittle and weak, but give you dull looking hair! You shouldn’t only look after your hair when it’s dry, using hair masks and oils are a great way of adding moisture and vital vitamins back into your hair and believe us when we say, there is a hair mask for just about everyone out there, give your hair the real salon treatment.

Talking of salons… If you’re prone to dry and frizzy hair, then one way to keep your summer hair goals alive is to make regular trips to your hairdresser. Book your appointments in advance every month or so. This enables the dead ends to be cut off and new, healthy hair to regrow, you’ll be surprised at the difference it’ll make. Plus is means you can get your sassy hair cut game on more frequently, it’s a win win!

What you use on your hair on a daily basis can be a real indicator to your hair’s health, especially when it needs a bit of extra care in the summer months. During the warmer seasons, you need to be using hydrating shampoos and indulgent conditioners to give your hair as much protection as possible, especially if it’s coloured, no one wants faded highlights.

Whether you have long hair, short hair, coloured hair or natural hair, it’s extremely important to keep it in great condition! Much like having a skin care routine, your hair also requires the same sort of treatment, something many people will forget to include in their daily or weekly routine. There are many simple steps you can take to make sure yours is in tip top condition with minimal effort.

Tip 1 – Always condition your hair

Some people are sceptical about conditioning their hair as they say ‘it goes greasy’ but you wouldn’t miss out the moisturizer on your face, so why miss out this important step on your hair? If the fear of greasy hair is scaring you off, just condition the ends, keeping those rotten split ends at bay. 3 or 4 times a month it’s always nice to do a deep cleanse too, pick up a leave in hair mask and give your scalp that boost of moisture it’s craving.

Tip 2 – Heat protection

As much as some of us may try to avoid it, heat damage will always be a common problem among people with longer hair. There are ways to lower the level of damage heat will do to your hair. When washing your hair, if you have time, let it dry naturally rather than blow drying it. When you want to use heated tongs or straighteners on your hair, always use a heat protection spray to combat heat damage. Some people even find that wearing a hat in cold and windy weather can make a big difference. Cold weather is just as bad as hot.

Tip 3 – Get your hair cut regularly

Even if your hair hasn’t grown an awful lot since the last time you got it cut, it’s always best to keep on top of those split ends. Getting your hair cut gets rid of any dead ends, meaning your hair is likely to grow faster and healthier. This is especially important if you have coloured hair, the colour on your hair means the strands are already weakened and need extra loving care!

Tip 4 – Take care when styling your hair

Even the simplest of tasks can take a toll on your hair. Brushing, backcombing and even putting your hair up can cause damage to your luscious locks. Why not swap out the suffocating rubber hair bands for some invisibobbles? Perfect for styling without the risk. Using a tangle teaser is also a great way of dealing with unwanted knots without tugging at the scalp, and a lot more comfortable. This is also very important if you have extensions, you don’t want to be pulling at your attachments where you can avoid it.
