summer holiday HAIRCARE

THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE PROBABLY THE MOST NOTORIOUS TIME FOR YOUR HAIR....

Here are our  secrets for shiny-super summer- soft hair…

* Give your hair a break from using hot hair tools during the summer months and consider letting your strands air-dry. If you must blow-dry - use a leave-in conditioner designed to protect your hair from heat. 

* Control potential frizzies caused by humidity by wearing your hair up in a knot, bun or braids. 

* Be religious about your having your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks. When your ends feel frizzy, it means they’re damaged, split or both. 

* Always use products with a SPF protection to protect your hair and scalp when you’re at the beach - or better still, wear a hat. 

* Hair needs to be treated more gently during the summer. Consider switching to a more moisturising shampoo and conditioner. 

* Before you dive into the pool, soak your hair under the shower first to lessen the hair's absorption of chlorine. 

* For sun exposed or sun damaged hair, apply a deep conditioner to damp hair, wrap in plastic wrap before bedtime. Leave on overnight for extra repair and re-moisturising benefits.

Happy holidays!

the slick PONYTAIL

A HIGH PONYTAIL NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE FOR SUMMER

- especially if you keep it super-slick... 

 To ensure that frizz and flyaways aren't going to ruin your look, work a pea-size drop of smoothing lotion into your roots and hairline before blow-drying. Brush the hair back and secure it just below your crown. To make your ponytail gleam, rub a drop of shine serum between your palms, them run them over the tail from base to ends. 

+ If you're at the beach for the day, you can add a dollop of leave-in conditioner instead of the smoothing lotion to condition and protect your hair! 

 PS. This style works even better if your hair is a bit dirty!

damage CONTROL

SUN EXPOSURE CAN DRY OUT YOUR HAIR, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S CHEMICALLY TREATED... 

Make sure you invest in a great shampoo and conditioner with UV-filters to protect the hair from becoming brittle and keep the colour intense. When heading to the beach or spending any time in the sun, spray your freshly shampooed hair with a lightweight leave-in conditioner that contains UV-filters. Slick into a ponytail with a low side part and you’ll not only look sexy and fresh, you’ll be protecting your hair from colour fade and UV rays.

You could also make an appointment to have an intense conditioning treatment @ Mana!
