Heat from the sun reduces the protective protein in hair, wiping out shine and leaving locks brittle. For those who can’t resist those summer rays all season long, extra care is essential to ensure hair is repaired from damage. ELEVEN Australia Hair Director Joey Scandizzo recommends a deep treatment applied once a week for nourished locks.
“ELEVEN Australia Miracle Hair Treatment is the perfect product for summer, it keeps hair hydrated and with a beautiful shine, controls all the fly aways and nourishes dry ends without adding any weight. And then once or twice a week use ELEVEN Australia 3 Minute Repair to really hydrate and repair any damage caused by the sun,” says Joey.
UV rays, follicle-frizzing humidity, and moisture-zapping chlorine can parch your hair and leave it looking bleached out and frizzy. Moisture in the air makes hair prone to frizzing and any damage – from heat appliances, colouring or natural sunrays – roughens cuticles. This enables water molecules in humid air to penetrate the hair shaft, causing it to frizz and sometimes look out of control. Kevin Murphy’s range of anti-frizz control hair will benefit those who can’t tame their locks!
Kevin.Murphy Hydrate-Me.Wash, Rinse and Masque is the perfect summer rescue for under nourished hair. “You need to keep hair hydrated in summer, then apply Kevin.Murphy Hair Resort Spray for a beachy texture or Easy.Rider for a natural softer look. Both can be left to dry in naturally so your hair looks perfectly effortless,” says Kevin.
For an even better frizz control, Kevin recommends to work with the texture of your hair, rather than changing it completely.
“You need to use products that repel the moisture but keep hair soft, it’s better to put the right product in when hair is wet so it is absorbed into the hair instead of trying to tame the frizz when hair is dry. Kevin Murphy Easy.Rider, Motion.Lotion, Hair.Resort.Spray, Session.Spray and Young.Again are all perfect for fighting frizz,” says Kevin.
