But often, the real problem is hair that was already feeling dry or stressed before your holiday even started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHair that\u2019s already feeling dry, over processed or stressed tends to struggle much more once you add sun, chlorine and sea salt into the mix. A little prep beforehand can make such a difference,\u201d explains&nbsp;Isabelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prep your hair before take-off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best things you can do before you travel is book a trim and a moisture or bond-building treatment \u2013 especially if your hair is coloured or regularly heat styled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treatments such as\u00a0Kerastase Fusio Dose\u00a0help strengthen and hydrate the hair before it\u2019s exposed to sun, chlorine and sea salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd don\u2019t forget about your homecare,\u201d adds&nbsp;Isabelle. \u201cPacking the right products can make holiday hair so much easier to manage while you\u2019re away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lightweight UV protection spray like Sebastian\u00a0Potion 9 Lite Conditioning spray\u00a0is perfect for helping protect your colour from fading without leaving the hair feeling greasy or heavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What chlorine really does to your hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chlorine is one of the biggest causes of dry, dull summer hair. It strips away moisture, can leave blondes looking brassy and often makes extensions tangle much more easily too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few simple habits can make a big difference, says&nbsp;Isabelle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rinse your hair with fresh water before and after swimming.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tie longer hair into a loose braid or bun to prevent tangles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a leave-in conditioner before heading to the pool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swap heavy heat styling for softer, more natural looks where possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you\u2019re blonde, a purple shampoo like&nbsp;Invigo blonde recharge&nbsp;once a week can really help keep brassiness under control,\u201d says&nbsp;Isabelle. \u201cSun, chlorine and even hard water abroad can all affect your colour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you wear extensions, pop a wide-tooth comb in your beach bag. It\u2019s much gentler for detangling after swimming than a regular brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your scalp needs holiday care too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people remember SPF for their skin but completely forget about their scalp, especially around the parting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too much sun exposure can leave the scalp feeling dry, tight and irritated, so always spritz with a lightweight SPF spray designed for hair and scalp protection. It\u2019s worth wearing a hat during the hottest part of the day too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring tired holiday hair back to life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ever noticed your hair feels fine on holiday\u2026 then suddenly dry and harder to manage a few days later? That\u2019s because sun damage and dehydration often show up gradually once the hair starts losing moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cClients often come back saying their hair feels knotty, dull or just harder to manage,\u201d explains&nbsp;Isabelle. \u201cUsually, it just needs a little extra hydration and some TLC.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Booking a post-holiday appointment is one of the quickest ways to get your hair back on track. A glossing service can revive faded colour, while a conditioning treatment and tidy-up trim can help bring back softness and shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using nourishing products such as&nbsp;Sebastian Dark Oil or Kerastase Nutritive&nbsp;at home will also help keep your hair healthier between salon visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Happy hair all summer long<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Holidays are for relaxing, not stressing about your hair. A few simple changes can help keep your hair healthier, shinier and much easier to manage all summer long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re heading away soon, pop into the salon and chat to your stylist about the best products and treatments for your hair type before you travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simple ways to keep your hair happy on holiday Sunshine, swimming pools, beach days and cocktails by the sea\u2026 summer holidays are good for the soul, but not always for your hair.
