Healthy Summer Hair!

 

 

Summer is rapidly approaching, (well we hope so!) and too much sunshine can leave your locks frazzled and your colour washed out!

Follow our top tips and you will be rocking beautiful beach waves rather than feeling dry, frizzy and fried!

Our hair can become easily frazzled on holiday and takes a battering from sun, sea and the added heat!

Wearing a hat to protect our hair is a great idea, although fashion may not always permit, and rinsing hair in fresh water before taking a dip in the pool can help lock out some of the chlorine!

 

Some products can be applied before sun exposure to create a barrier to help protect against colour fade and heat damage:

 

Redken’s Colour Extend SunSolar screen is a great product to apply to hair before sun exposure it has an added SPF 12 to protect against UVA/UVB rays!

 

TIGI’s SFactor Flat Iron Shine Spray not only protects from heated styling but the UV rays too!

 

After a day on the beach applying the following will re-hydrate your hair leaving it silky smooth:

 

Wella SP aftersun wash helps remove sunscreen, salt and chlorine from the hair and when accompanied with the conditioner and fluid to add moisture and create shine,

 

Kerastase soleil Masque UV Defence UV hair cream helps to nourish and put moisture back in to parched hair ideal after a long day sun bathing!

 

Enjoy the sunshine!

Healthy Happy Hair!

Our Team's Top 10 Hair Colour tips!

With the blonde to brunette and back again craze continuing!
Our team have put together 10 top colour and care tips!
http://www.oakleyacademy.co.uk

1.Some blonde tones tend to be matt looking, for a healthy looking glow avoid bleached tones and instead go for golden or honey tones that reflect light.

2.When going blonde using a multiple number of similar shades instead of just one creates a more natural effect and enhances your existing hair style.

3.For warm complexions (people with dark, olive skin with golden undertones, and usually with Brown or hazel eyes) go for golden blondes or warm brunettes to compliment your skin tone.

4.For cool complexions (people with pale skin with freckles or pink/peach undertones and usually with blue/green eyes) go for neutral toned darks or highlights, going too cool or warm could wash out your complexion.

5.Silver shampoo can be used to neutralise unwanted golden tones on blonde hair, its also great for refreshing dull blondes.

6.Chemicals in swimming pools can grab on to hair and cause discolouration, rinsing your hair in fresh water before swimming can help prevent this.

7.To keep both blondes and brunettes glossy and looking healthy always use products to protect from heated styling, use leave in conditioner to detangle and the new favourite hair oil is great used to reflect light (avoid using hair oil at the roots as this can weigh down your style)

8.After conditioning rinsing hair with a cold blast of water helps to close the cuticle and creates amazing shine, keep the cuticles closed whilst blowdrying by drying in sections and directing the air flow down towards the ends of your hair.

9.Using only a wide tooth comb to detangle hair when wet, protective products when styling and attending the salon for regular trims all add up to healthy hair.

10.Eat your hair healthy! Following a healthy diet rich in B vitamins helps to add shine to dull hair and brushing with a soft brush daily massages the scalp, produces natural shine and encourages new hair growth.
