Protect Your Hair from Pool Chlorine
Chlorine can dry out your hair which means there’s a higher chance of it breaking. Chlorine can also react with your hair colour, turning it a slightly different shade.
So, what's the solution? If you don't fancy wearing a swimming cap then it’s time to invest in a chlorine-removing shampoo. You could try Paul Mitchell Shampoo Three which is specifically designed to cleanse and brighten your hair, removing residues from chlorine build-up. It should be used after swimming to remove chlorine and prevent green tinges appearing in your hair. It will also strengthen your hair and help to prevent future chlorine deposits.
Then, when you are back to your usual routine, make sure you book into Martin & Phelps Hairdressing Salon in Cheltenham for a professional conditioning treatment to inject moisture back into your hair.
Prevent Hair Colour Fade
Coloured hair can fade in the sun so it's important to use a colour protecting shampoo plus conditioner to prevent this.
We recommend the Wella Invigo Sun UV Colour Protection and Repair range. It includes a high performance shampoo, conditioner and leave-in UV protection spray. Available at our Regent Street salon in Cheltenham.
To be extra safe of course, wear a hat on a hot summer’s day - both protective and stylish!
Avoid Frizzy Hair
Frizzy hair can be an irritating hair problem over the summer holiday months, with the heat and humidity turning your gorgeous sleek hairstyle into a mess as soon as you step out of the door!
To avoid the frizzy hair syndrome, it's necessary to put moisture back into the hair. Serums and hair oils are the most popular and effective anti-frizz products for frizzy hair problems. At Martin & Phelps we recommend MoroccanOil, which comes in a great range of frizz controlling products, available at our Cheltenham hair salon.
Better still, have a professional hair smoothing treatment. Our Keratin Treatments smooth and restore your hair, leaving is silky and manageable for up to 5 months. Speak to your Martin & Phelps stylist to find out more.
Protect Your Hair from Heat
The heat from the sun can cause your hair to become dry and prone to breakage. Use a good heat protection spray and hair products containing UV protection. We recommend MoroccanOil or you could try Paul Mitchell Hot off the Press, designed to protect fragile strands of hair as well as fighting frizz.
Of course, wearing a hat in the sunshine is always a good idea, but if not, try tying up your hair into a ponytail, plait or bun to keep it out of the way.
