Summer holidays are the best, but they aren’t always kind to our hair. The after effects of swimming pool chlorine, salt from the sea and over-use of styling products for those warm nights out can all take its toll. The harsh reality is that sun, sea and sand can leave hair dry, brittle and lacking in gloss.
To bring back good hair days, every day, Good Gracious is here with top tips and product recommendations for post-summer hair care.
1.Trim up
When the plane touches down and you’re back from holiday, put booking a hair appointment to the top of your to-do list. A good trim is the perfect way to get rid of any split ends that have appeared over the summer and get your hair back into tip-top condition. Perhaps ask for some layers to give a fresh lease of life, texture and shape.
2.Autumn trend
The perfect way to banish the holiday blues is with an on-trend, new hair style. This autumn sees the rise in popularity of the awe-inspiring boy bob, a formidable style that has already been seen on celebs such as Swedish model Elsa Hosk and actress Chloe Moretz. This is a statement style that will definitely turn heads this season.
3.September sun
The UK summer hasn’t been the best – to say the least – but if an Indian summer should suddenly strike in September, remember that the sun’s rays can still be damaging, even on British soil. Take care to protect your hair from harmful UV rays and give hair an extra conditioning boost with the Good Gracious Crown of Glory Repair Mask. Enriched with Coconut Oil to deeply nourish and repair dry, damaged hair, this mask will leave your hair feeling fabulously smooth, soft and super-shiny. £6.50 (300ml).
4.Colour care
Over-exposure to the sun can cause damage to coloured hair as the UV rays break down the chemical bonds in hair colour causing fading to occur. Bring your colour back to its former glory with Good Gracious Colour Care Shampoo and Good Gracious Colour Care Conditioner. Infused with Coconut Oil as well as Vitamins C and E, they will enhance and protect colour for a radiant, glamorous and glossy finish. You’ll be tickled pink with the results! Shampoo 400ml – £5.00 / Conditioner 250ml- £5.00.
5.Hair repair
Banish brittle and dry hair caused by the summer sun, salt, sand and chlorine with the deep hydration of Good Gracious Intense Repair Shampoo and Good Gracious Intense Repair Conditioner. Infused with Argan Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Almond Milk for the ultimate pick-me-up – summer recovery starts here! Shampoo 400ml – £5.00 / Conditioner 250ml- £5.00.
The range is currently available instore and online at Tesco.
