Holiday Hair Syndrome Tips to repair & prevent this stressful condition

You’ve finally made it, the legs are smooth, the spray tan has covered your white bits, the pain at the gym has paid off and last year’s bikini still fits! At last you can go on that longed for holiday and relax! Right? Wrong! Have you spared a thought for your hair? While it’s great to shake it loose and have a few ‘wild’ woman days when you give the straighteners a rest, don’t forget to compensate for the effects of the sun, sea and pool. Hair can quickly lose shine and condition with over exposure to these, rebelling with frizziness or worse, by changing colour. Damage limitation means wearing a hat in the midday sun, rinsing salt and chlorine out of your hair with clean water as soon as possible and applying some soothing protection. Remember to take a few of life’s essentials with you to make sure your hair also receives a well earned rest! Here are a few suggestions to help…
