I’m sure we can all agree on the fact that summer is excellent. At least when it arrives in the UK, that is. But do you know what’s not excellent? The havoc that warm weather can play with your hair. No matter how healthy your hair might be beforehand, the sun, heat and more time spent outdoors can put even the strongest of hair at risk of dryness and breakage. And if you have any chemical treatments or colour on your hair, then you have to be even more diligent at protecting your strands during the hotter months.
“Too much exposure to the sun can wreak havoc with hair texture and without protection can lead to it feeling dried out,” says celebrity hairdresser Lorraine Dublin. “If you have bleached your hair or if you have any colour on it, the sun can also cause it to fade out, so it’s important to add extra products into your routine to counteract it.”
