SEMI PERMANENT BLOW DRY

Have a summer shampoo breakShampoo less often to allow the hair to absorb natural oils. Or switch to more gentle cleansing methods which won’t dry out sun exposed strands – perhaps a shampoo which is more moisturising. When possible, finish with a cool to cold rinse to seal the hair cuticle and impart natural shimmer.

Limit heated hair styling tools If you normally use hot styling tools (blow dryers, hot irons, rollers), give your hair a rest during summer months. Air dry whenever possible or opt for easy chic styles. If the thought of giving up the hairdryer is as scary as giving up your mascara then use a leave- in conditioner designed to protect your hair against dryer heat. When you do blow dry, dry on high heat. It’s actually much better to dry with high heat because you expose your hair to heat for a shorter period of time than you would if you used medium heat.

Schedule deep conditioning treatments Hair regularly exposed to sun needs deep regular conditioning treatments for moisture replenishment.For extra conditioning treatment apply deep conditioner to dry or damp hair then wrap in plastic wrap or a shower cap. Allow conditioner to soak into damaged hair sections for an extended period or overnight for extra repair and re-moisturizing benefits. Why not try some MichaelJohn in-salon treatments like Philip Kingsley Elasticizer which adds moisture, elasticity, bounce and shine or the Biolustre Treatment which reconstructs badly damaged hair.

Get ready for SummerSUMMER HAIR TIPS

Cover up The absolute best thing for your hair in the sun – is to keep it covered! Hats are big news in the fashion world so you shouldn’t be short of options. Remember to buy a hat which allows for proper air circulation and blood flow. If you buy a hat that doesn’t allow for air flow you will get too hot to endure keeping the hat on. If hats aren’t your thing use leave-in hair products with SPF protection when you know you will be at the beach if you’re unwilling to wear a hat or a cover-up. In our salon shop we sell the Philip Kingsley Swim cap , which is great for protecting your hair from chloride and discolouration.

Have regular trimsMake sure you have your ends trimmed every 4-6 weeks during the summer months. When your ends are frizzy, it’s a sure sign that they are either damaged, split or both. Hair can get sunburned just like the scalp. The only way to deal with severely burnt hair is by trimming the damaged sections off. Prevention is the safest plan.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrateIn addition to being vigilant about your moisturizing and conditioning treatments during summer months, remember to keep your roots and hair hydrated from the inside out. Drink plenty of liquids to keep roots and strands flush with fluids. Water will also keep your skin soft and plump. While it’s tempting to drink ice cold alcoholic drinks keep in mind that they can dehydrate skin and strands. Water is always the best choice for your lovely locks.

The thought of a long hot Summer may conjour up a vision of natural highlights and windswept locks but the reality is that the Summer sun with increasing temperatures and

humidity can damage your hair’s cuticle resulting in dry, split, brittle hair and unsightly ends.

Too much exposure to the sun can cause as much damage as a hot hair dryer on unprotected hair.

Consider some of these basic tips for preventing unnecessary damage and having great summer hair:

The Hydra facial treatment is the newest advance in non-laser skin resurfac-ing. Hydra facial is the only hydra dermabrasion procedure which combines cleansing, exfol iation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection simultaneously, resulting in clearer more beautiful skin with no discomfort or downtime.

The facial begins using a specially shaped spiral tip to deliver various serums to the face to dislodge dead skin cells, loosen sebum deposits and prepare the skin for extractions.

A customised concentration of Beta Hydroxy Acid is delivered deeply into the dermis layer of the skin to flush out any blackheads, blocked pores and to reduce pigmentation. This blend is then passed over any surface lines and wrinkles to smooth and plump their appearance.
