Holiday hair
Holiday hair ……
It’s a myth that the sun lightens your hair! Oxygen is actually what lightens our hair this means our hair lightens all of the time. When we are on holiday all of the other elements speed the lightening process up. Chlorine is excessive amounts of oxygen. Salt and sand in the sea act as an abrasive so roughens the hair shaft and opens the cuticle scales, this allows the oxygen to penetrate the hair deeper all while the sun speeds up the whole process . Preventative measures will help ie not getting our hair wet in a chlorinated pool, avoid getting hair in contact with sand and sea water and also covering our hair with a hat. using L’Oréal solar range shampoo will cleanse any of these elements out of the hair at the end of the day and a masque to smooth the cuticles and replace moisture in the hair. A product which we recommend but do not sell in salon is Phillip Kingsley shower cap which is a protective cream which works to protect your hair during your holiday when in the sun and the elements. Please contact the salon to speak to one of our hair specialists who will be happy to help and advise
