8 products your hair needs NOW
1 Fresh start
September can still be hot, so whether you’re at home or abroad, refresh oily roots on the go with the KMS Conscious Style Cleansing Mist, £19.40, lookfantastic. com. The magic spray cleanses the hair by absorbing excess oils and removing product residues.
2 Gentle brushing
If your hair is delicate after a whole summer of fun, make a Wetbrush Classic, £11.99, lookfantastic.com, your go-to hairbrush. It is gentle to wet hair and detangles knots without painful tugging or breakage.
3 Frizz fix
Dry, sun frazzled hair can quickly turn to frizz. Kristin Ess Frizz Management Cleansing Co-wash, £11, Boots, is the antidote. It is a shampoo and conditioner in one and provides curly hair with the tools to take on humidity.
4 Beach babe
Keep that summer vibe going for as long as September will allow with some tousled beach waves. Use Charles Worthington Take away Sunshine Protect Salt Spray 50ml, £2.99, Boots, scrunched into damp hair to create smooth curls and volume in the hair.
5 Summer blend
Sun frazzled locks need hydration. Swap your regular conditioner for Coco & Eve Sweet Repair Hair Mask, £30.40, cultbeauty.com, which blends nourishing ingredients to coat each strand with goodness as well as a cocktail of tropical fruits, such as guava, rambutan and coconut. Your hair will be back to health in no time.
6 Heat hero
Still got a holiday to come? Protect your hair against UV rays and harsh heat to prevent colour fade and breakage. Use the Sun Bum Protecting Heat Protector, £16, cultbeauty.com, on wet or dry hair before styling as well as throughout the day.
7 Damage control
Sea salt and chlorine can leave hair dry and brittle. The Beauty Works After Sun Deep Cleanse Shampoo, £10.99, lookfantastic.com, will strip away harsh chemicals, while superhydrating vitamin E replenishes dry strands.
8 Scalp savour
Your scalp is often overlooked, but its one of the key places where we can burn and be at risk from skin cancer. On a sunny day, use Malibu SPF30 Scalp
Protector, £3.99, Superdrug, which protects your scalp from burning without getting your hair greasy. If you’ve just got back from holiday with a burnt, flaky scalp, once the inflammation subsides, remove the flakes with a scalp scrub. We love Umberto Giannini Scalp Scrub Exfoliating Anti-dandruff Scrub, £9.75, Boots.
