Did you know that just as the sun can damage your skin, it can damage your hair too? Harsh UV rays, sea salt water and chlorine are just a few of the factors that lead to dry hair, split ends and breakage, so your hair might need some extra TLC to stay healthy and vibrant. That’s why I’ve partnered with award winning, top UK hair salon brand Percy & Reed to share my tried and trusted tips that will keep your strands in top condition during the sunny season. This is a brand that I always go back to as it allows me to hold style in my fine hair through all seasons, especially hot and humid summers!
I am thrilled that so many of you have taken advantage of the 65% off my special six-piece summer hair bundle AND 20% off site wide exclusive discount code ALISON20 on Percy & Reed this month! If you still haven’t but want to get fantastic hair volume with great condition and style that lasts throughout summer, then you only have a few days until 20th June to use code ALISON20on percyandreed.com.
P.s… my readers and followers are the only lucky ones to also be able to use discount code ALISON20 on the NEW Limited Edition Royal Blossom Wonder Balm, created in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces.
These products are definitely going to help you maintain healthy hair all summer with my tips below:
- Shampoo Techniques: Make sure you’re getting shampoo lather right into the hair roots with your fingertips to remove sweat and dead skin. Avoid using the palms of your hands as that only cleanses the top of hair and increases the tangles
- Protect from UV rays: Provide shade for your hair by wearing a hat or your hair up when you can to prevent hair drying out. Ideally an SPF hair protection spray is a must during summer!
- Condition on-the-go: Apply conditioner before sunbathing or swimming to prevent hair from drying out. It’s great to put a drop of conditioner into your hands and mix with water to smooth into ends of hair or scrunch into curls – this gives hydration on a daily basis and avoids brittle strands and dullness
- Regular scissor time: Trim your ends every 6-8 weeks to avoid breakage of split hairs in the dryness of heat
- Review your brush bristles: It might be time to change your brush to a wide tooth comb, which is gentler and less damaging to your hair as it glides through with less breakage
- Pre-makeup cool blast: If you blow dry your hair make sure to put your skincare on first, then give your face a blast of cool air from the dryer – this stops you from sweating so you can then get your make up on with ease!
- Find your dry shampoo go-to: Dry shampoo is your best friend to absorb sweat and also to give effortless volume and thickness to the root of the hair – I even use the Percy & Reed Dry Shampoo on my clean hair for a lifted look
- Embrace a natural hair style: Summer is the time to embrace styles that are more natural and effortless – hair doesn’t need to be so formal and structured on hot summer days at the beach! For example let your hair dry naturally or use a hair clip to get your hair off the back of your neck if you need to
- Check your hair bands: If you use a hair band go for ones that don’t tear your hair – silky or fabric based bands are the best for this so they slip over hair rather breaking the hair at the tension point
- Product type is key: Make sure you are buying products from shampoo to styling that are dedicated to your hair goals. My exclusive Percy & Reed collection works for me for volume, condition, styling and refreshing. Use code ALISON20 for 20% off and a huge saving of £96!
You can use my exclusive discount code ALISON20 as many times as you wish, so do share with your friends and family!
