Hair protection

There are many things every day that cause damage to our hair, some things we can prevent, others we can protect against, many people do not realise the damage daily styling does to their hair, from washing it, to drying it and styling with ghd hair straighteners, as well as lots of brushing.

But fear not there are a couple of things to do that will help you hair and keep it looking as good as possible.

Firstly to prevent breakage when your hair is wet, you should never ever brush it with a brush, instead use a wide toothed comb, and when drying your hair and styling it make sure you use a heat protection spray, such as ghd thermal protector. If you spend a lot of money having your hair done, there is not point on saving with shampoo and conditioner, instead opt for good quality salon recommended ones, although they are generally more expensive you will find you don’t need to use as much of the product and because they are designed specifically for salons they will work well with your hair.

If you have dry damaged hair from excess styling or dying then it’s worthwhile every so often doing a conditioning treatment for your hair to replenish lost moisture, there are many different types available from ones that you leave in for 10 minutes to those you can leave in overnight.

During the summer you also need to remember it’s not only your skin that needs protecting from harmful UV rays, your hair does too, you can get hair sunscreen which you can spray into your hair, it’s also advisable especially if you have coloured hair to wear a hat otherwise it will fade much quicker.
