Short and sassy
A lot of fun, and time-saving too, depending on the texture of your hair. Keep it short if your hair is fine and add masses of texture with styling gel and wax.
Bobbing along
A bob or mid-length style can be very versatile. Wear it straight and shiny, swept-up or wavy. Straight hair benefits from a blunt cut and curly hair can be worn wild and tousled. If your hair is naturally wavy, the beach is the last place to force it into a sleek, straight look. Go with the flow and your hair will thank you.
Long and lovely
Flowing mermaid tresses, the wild and tousled look or perhaps a shiny, sleek curtain of hair cascading over the shoulders - long hair will never be out of fashion. Make it easy with styling products and take care to condition those ends properly. For a super-easy, beach-ready look, sweep your hair up into a ponytail.
Troubleshooting
Problem: Limp and floppy hair
Fix it: Wash and rinse thoroughly. Go easy on styling products to avoid product overload.
Problem: Frizzy hair
Fix it: Condition well. Tame with a hair serum. Use a wide-toothed comb instead of a hairbrush.
Problem: Dry and brittle hair
Fix it: Use a rich, moisturising shampoo and matching conditioner. Opt for an intensive conditioning treatment every two weeks.
Problem: Greasy hair
Fix it: Heat can cause the sebaceous glands to work overtime. Use a mild shampoo every day. A rinse with lemon juice or vinegar also helps.
Problem: Fly-away hair
Fix it: Use a mild, pH-balanced shampoo. Stay away from heated rollers. Use spray-on conditioner on dry hair.
Preparing for the summer holidays
One month before:
Boost your hair's strength and flexibility with weekly deep conditioning.
One week before:
Get your hair trimmed and roots or highlights retouched. Don't go too light, though - exposure to the sun bleaches your hair naturally. Don't have a perm - your hair is going to be exposed to damaging elements.
While on holiday:
* Sunscreen is also meant for hair! The sun dries hair and fades colour, so wear a hat and spritz on UV protection. Opt for a good protective spray.
* Comb a conditioner through you hair when sunbathing and allow the heat to activate it into a really effective treatment.
* Always rinse sea or pool water out of your hair at the end of the day.
* Leave-in conditioners are ideal when washing hair every day.
* Wet hair is extremely fragile. Don't rub with a towel and always use a wide-toothed comb to untangle.
* Don't leave home without a serum. It helps to prevent hair from frizzing in hot and humid weather and acts as a barrier against the sun's rays.
