Looking after your locks for summer ’11

We often look after our skin as we protect it against the sun’s rays, but what about our hair? Sopheak Seng gives his top 10 for summer hair

1 As you treat your face to a mask so, too, should you for your hair. A favourite is Trilogy Botanical Moisture Masque, filled with organic goodness of rosehip, green tea, shea butter, avocado and olive oil and perfect for reviving tired, dry hair.

SUMMER SHOULD BE a time to enjoy the sun, sand and surf. But with all that fun, our hair can be left looking a little bit drab and somewhat slightly sad, with UV rays, chlorine, salt water and other elements of nature at work. Sometimes our hair just needs a little bit of TLC: these are the top 10 products for getting fabulous-looking locks all summer long.

2 Leave in conditioners are perfect for fuss-free summer hair. Giovanni Direct Leave-In Hair Conditioner is simple and easy to use: apply to towel-dried hair and let it do the rest. It will provide your hair with nourishment, shine and strength. 3 Joico Sun Mask is an intensely moisturizing colour-safe treatment mask that features the highest concentration of the company’s exclusive Hydroxy Sun Complex for the most effective strengthening and moisture replenishment by filling holes burned into the cuticle by the sun.

4 Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Restorative Styling Oil—containing three featherweight oils, African Manketti, Argan and Evening Primrose—restores moisture and strength to sun- and bleach-damaged hair, leaving hair touchably soft. 5 Summer means more treatments in your hair to help combat all the ravages of the sun. With Goldwell Dual Senses Rich Repair 60-Second Treatment, you get a fast, easy and affordable treatment you can do at home. What’s more, it is quick and you see instant results.

6 Embrace smooth sleek curls this summer with Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum: it will smooth hair and tame unruly frizz. 7 Fudge Dry Shampoo is perfect for those in-between washes.

8 To protect and maintain that perfected beach highlights and colour, use Wella Biotouch Colour Protection Shampoo. It will protect coloured and highlighted hair, sealing in complex vitamin E and apricot oils.

9 Tame flyways with KMS California’s Dry Shine Styler. Perfect for when you’re on the go, and it’s so compact it will fit in your clutch for touch-ups.
