Whatever your hair type, Good Gracious is here with some handy hacks to help you make the most of your hair this summer. Whether you’re hitting the beach, the pool or the park, we’re here to help you have a good hair day, every day.

Coloured Hair

The sun is a natural bleach and will lighten hair, stripping away its colour, but there are things you can do to minimise the damage. Protect your hair in the following ways:

• Wet and hydrated – your hair is going to get thirsty in the heat so get it wet and try lowering the temperature in the shower, which may help to protect the colour for longer
• Turn down the heat – when you’re getting glammed up for a night out with straighteners or curling tongs, make sure the heat is on the lowest setting and try to avoid using them every day 
• Keep rays at bay – you wouldn’t go into the sun without skin protection so think of your hair in the same way and use a UV protecting spray

TRY – Good Gracious Colour Care Shampoo and Good Gracious Colour Care Conditioner – range infused with Coconut Oil. Vitamins C and E 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.

Dehydrated hair

When the sun is beaming down, it feels glorious – but for our hair, these are thirsty times. Try these top tips to keep hair healthy and hydrated.

• Drink water – water isn’t just good for dehydrating you, it’s good for your hair too! 
• Don’t towel dry – bath towels do one job – they dry you! And this is the last thing you want to do to dehydrated hair, so ditch a normal bath towel and try a microfibre towel instead
• Use a deeply restorative mask such as 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).

Jam-packed with Shea Butter, Omega oils and Ceramides, hair will soon feel hydrated and healthy. Shampoo 400ml – £5.00 / Conditioner 250ml- £5.00.

Dry and brittle hair

If your hair feels crunchy, brittle and unloved, there are plenty of things you can do to bring it back to life. 

• Trim it – make sure you go for regular haircuts to get ready of dry, split ends. If you’re heading off on holiday, have a pre-vacation trim so your hair is beautifully smooth before you hit the beach
• Condition – leave your conditioner in for the stated amount of time and look for products with ingredients that will deeply nourish your hair such as argan oil and shea butter
• Moisturise – choose a haircare range that will deeply moisturise your hair.
