For us at PS Hairdressing, the way your hair looks and feels the whole time is important... it's not just when you walk out of our door. Here we have compiled some great tips to keep your hair feeling beautiful all summer long.
Keep it healthy
This is the boring bit we know but the surest way to keep
your hair healthy is to start off with it healthy. Make sure you are having regular trims so
your hair doesn’t become too dried out in the first place.
For coloured hair especially you will need to make sure you
use the right balance of moisture and protein, to keep your hair strong and
soft.
And if you redeem your loyalty card we will give you shampoo
and conditioner from the Davines Essential range for free.
Try to avoid washing your hair too much during sunny
weather.
To keep a longer period between
washes we recommend using a homemade dry shampoo. Simply squirt a couple of drops of your
favourite essential oil into a suitable container. We’ve discovered that a new salt cellar is
perfect for this. Add some cornflour and
shake well. Sprinkle some into your
roots, massage in, leave for a couple of minutes then brush through to avoid
any powder build ups.
Avoid the use of heat- we know hairdryers and straighteners
give a lovely finish but experimenting with loose plaits, buns and ponytails is
perfect for keeping hair looking stylish.
And it reduces stress on the hair.
Keep it covered
It seems obvious to keep our skin covered up in the summer
time but is the same true for hair?
A hat or scarf will keep your hair and scalp covered. If you favour keeping your hair on display
make sure you use a protecting hair milk, such as SU hair milk which protects
from UV.
We would also advise using a leave in conditioner, again SU
hair milk would be perfect, before swimming to give your hair extra protection
from the chlorine. A swimming hat would
be a great addition too but unless your holiday look is Olympic Chic you may
decide against this one! Using a shampoo designed for use after swimming will
also help reduce the damaging effects of the chlorine. Davines SU hair and body wash is ideal as an
after-swim shampoo.
To combat the drying effects of sun, sea and swimming treat
your hair to a conditioning treatment once a week.
Coconut oil or Avocado mixed with a little olive oil can
both be used for a homemade conditioning mask.
Another option would be adding Oi Oil to your regular
conditioner and leaving it on for 30 minutes.
Or even overnight with a shower cap on!
Alternatively, use Davines SU hair mask or Davines Nounou
hair mask.
The weather can present lots of gorgeous opportunities for
time spent outside but it can also present problems for your hair style.
If you are going for the blow dried look we would recommend
an anti-humidity spray. Your Hair
Assistant Blowdry Primer is perfect. It
can be used in place of a mousse but has the added benefit of protecting your
style from the moisture in the air. For

If you have decided that avoiding heated styling is the best
plan embrace the undone look with Davines More Inside Sea Salt Spray. As you’ve
probably guessed it emulates the delightful effects of fresh form the ocean
hair without a day at the beach.
It can also be used to add volume to a blowdry. And can even be used as a dry shampoo- Sea
Salt Spray really earns its place in your suitcase!
Enjoy the summer!
