Hair can be a little neglected when you're on holiday. The sun, sea, sand and chlorine are not friends of our follicles which is why it's important to give them a little love and ensure you don't end up with something resembling a birds nest atop your head. Here's some holiday hair essentials to help you battle the elements.
1. Bumble and bumble Color Minded Shampoo, £23 and Conditioner, £25, Boots.com
If you colour your hair at all, beware of fading when your hair is exposed to chlorine and intense UV rays. This shampoo and conditioner is specially formulated with their Colour Preserving Complex created to protect your dye job.
2. Clarins Sun Care Oil Spray UVA/UVB 30, £20 for 150ml, Boots.com
UV rays can damage the structure of the hair shaft so spritz this all over – don't forget the scalp – to shield it. This can be used on your body too.
3. Mark Hill Protective UV Shield, £5.99 for 150ml, Boots.com
Spray this on after washing for all-day UV defence. It has humidity protection too which helps keep frizz at bay.
4. Ojon Damage Reverse Restorative Hair Treatment, £18 for 50ml, Boots.com
This hair treatment gives back the moisture the elements have stolen, leaving it silky soft.
5. Lee Stafford ARGANOIL from Morocco Anti-Frizz Serum Spray, £9.99 for 200ml, Boots.com
Mist this over dry hair to help avoid any Monica-in-Barbados moments.
6. John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray, £5.89 for 150ml, Boots.com
If there is ever a time to embrace beachy hair, it's when you're on holiday. Forget the hair tools and spritz this on wet hair and scrunch for some mermaid-style waves (maybe).
7. NUXE Shimmering Multi-Purpose Dry Oil, £19 for 50ml, Boots.com
Run this through you hair for a shine and nourishment (it's full of botanical oils) in one. You can even use it on your body for an all-over shimmer.
