Best Hair Masks for summer damaged hair.

Image
We love the summer! Well or most of us do!.... But if your hair could speak it would probably disagree with your infatuation with the hottest months of the year.. and for good reason really, because more often than not we do not treat it as well as we should - especially when we should be doing more... In fact we do tend to do more - but that is more damage - most of us want to go lighter in the summer months - and more often than not that means bleaching the hair. When we sunbathe we are careful with our skin, we use protection, we use aftersun... and that is exactly what we should be doing with our hair too. Think of bleaching your like getting sun burnt in that summer sun. You need the aftersun - for your hair that will be a good nourishing treatment. Here are some of our favourites: True Keratin: post-treatment Masque This masque with super food blend zaps frizz and boosts shine with a crisp citrus scent that lingers. Use this light and silky treatment...

Is your hair summer-in-the-city ready?

Summer in the city! Some will say it's a nightmare, but if I had to choose between a dreary grey wash-out and bright hot sunny days and evenings, I know exactly what I would choose! Let's face it everyone seems to be much happier when the city is basking in the sun, but how are we faring with having summer-ready hair? When it is swelteringly hot a sweaty scalp and wet roots is never a good look! and patting constantly with a tissue is really not very flattering while flirting with a colleague prosecco in hand! Dry Shampoo is your real Knight in Shining armour. Keeping a mini dry shampoo in your bag is a proper summer essential. Lightly sprizzing at the root and combing through the hair will help you keep the root and scalp nice and dry, absorbing excess oil while also keeping some volume going. There are loads of of dry shampoos out there to choose from.... but here are 3 of our favourites.... Sebastian's Drynamic has been around for a while. Like most Seba...

Olaplex - the hair revolution is here!

Image
If you are colouring your hair you should be looking at Olaplex! - It really is as simple as that! Olaplex has been around in the U.S. for just over a year but it has only just hit the UK shores with just a handful of salons offering the service - but rest assured this is just going to be super huge! Olaplex first came to our attention thanks to Kim Kardashian,.... her super transformation from a dark Brunette to a Blonde baffled the lot of us, some because they thought it is insane, some because they thought it did not suit her, others because she was trying too hard!.... but what most hair stylists were thinking was: 'How does she still have hair?' - and the answer to that is Olaplex! So what is Olaplex? Well, the actual ingredient is a bit of a big mystery, though the speculation is that it is some sort of polymer that is activated with peroxide and coats the hair, but quite frankly I'm not gonna go all Sheldon Cooper on you for as long as the results a...

Summer Olympics? - Going for BRONDE!

Have you noticed that all through Celeb world Blondes have been getting darker? That white platinum blonde has been non-existent for a good year or so... with the exception of the epic fail that was Kim Kardashian's Blonde ambition. In the last few years the Fashion and Beauty industry has been pushing the 'Natural is beautiful' tag. Automatically a lot of the fashion campaigns and adverts in general has been selling less bold looks and moved to a far more natural look overall - models slowly started looking a bit more real and the very alien 'fashiony' model took a step back. Think Cara Delevingne arguably the most present model this past year - possibly because she is someone you can relate to - slightly rebellious, does not conform much -  could easily be the (HOT) girl next door .....and her hair colour? Not quite brown, not quite blonde...it's BRONDE! The original poster girls for this are of course Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Lopez... but ...
