Summer is here. As the days become longer it’s time for lazy after work drinks, trips to the beach, and generally being out and about. And we all want to look good for it. But summer takes its toll on our locks, causing hair damage that can have long lasting impacts. So while you get yourself prepped for the fine weather make sure you know where the hot spots will be when it comes to your hair. Try and minimise exposure to these summer hair killers and you’ll avoid that ‘Tom Hanks in Cast Away’ look. SUN DAMAGED HAIR
Everybody loves a bit of sun, and a tan looks great. But we also know that too much sun exposure isn’t good for your skin. It’s the same for your hair. Some of us catch the sun and it gives our hair a natural highlight, but letting your hair bake in the sun is bad news. Sun damaged hair has a dry and dull look. That’s because the intense UV light begins to break down the proteins in the hair that give it sheen and strength. The extra heat also plays havoc with your hair. So over the summer months, if you’re out and about a lot, your hair can become weak and brittle. Bad news for anybody but if you have thinning hair this can lead to increased breakage and shedding of hair, which isn’t what you want. You’re more at risk of getting sun-damaged hair if you have lighter locks or fine hair. CHLORINE DAMAGED HAIR Summer time means holidays in the sun, which means plenty of diving into the pool to cool off, which also means your hair gets a pretty regular soaking in chlorine. Chlorine is great for killing bugs and bacteria, but it’s a nightmare for hair health as anybody who swims regularly can tell you. Firstly, chlorine acts much like a bleach and reacts with the pigmentation in your hair, gradually altering its colour. Of more concern to anybody with thinning hair is the fact that chlorine strips your hair of its natural oils and damages hair proteins, which in turn weakens your hair. Chlorine damaged hair will be dull and dry looking and begin to feel very coarse. Failing to condition your hair and take care when brushing or combing can result in it breaking easily. And when you think that soaking in the pool is probably sandwiched between long sessions of lounging in the sun, it’s double trouble for your hair. SALT WATER HAIR There’s no doubt that hair can look great when you come striding fresh out of the ocean, especially if you have a little length in your style. That’s why salt sprays are so popular. But there’s a big difference between a spritz of salt spray and drenching your hair in the ocean day in and day out. Frequently soaking your hair in the salt water for extended periods of time can weaken it and result in breakage. Salt water hair is that rough and ratty look and you get it because the salinity of the sea sucks all the moisture out of your hair. As the hair loses its natural oils and water content it dries, begins to split and if you have longer hair it can tangle up. So while a quick splash in the sea is fine don’t stay in too long.

A spokesperson for L’Oreal says that we might be seeing make-up counters at department stores devoted to men in the next five years. The UK managing director for L’Oreal, Vismay Sharma, told the Telegraph that the “selfie generation” isn’t so worried about gender taboos and might want to use make-up. “Today you have a very small proportion of men who want to use makeup products but that proportion is growing and it will continue to grow. I think it’s just awareness – two things are happening, men know they can use make up, and they know what it does when you use it.” Several other brands, like ASOS, have come out with a line of products directed at men, and designer Tom Ford has a collection of male beauty products that includes a concealer set. This trend actually contradicts Sharma’s argument that “the taboos are going.” Men can already purchase and use make-up, so if they need the word “male” slapped onto the same product to get them to use it, then they are still insecure in their masculinity. What will have changed – if more than a small percentage of men use these products – are the contours of what men are allowed to do. Moreover, makeup tutorials for men (and I’m guessing they’re aimed at straight men) focus on a “natural” and “subtle” look, which means that the point is to look like they’re not wearing make-up. If it’s no longer taboo for men we wear makeup, then why not put out ads with men wearing noticeable make-up and bold colors? But if men want to use makeup but need to be reassured that it’s masculine, then cosmetic companies will be ready to make money by selling households the same product twice with different packaging.

Want longer, thicker hair overnight? Well, that's not going to happen. Sorry, but there's no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to achieving your hair goals. However, if you're willing to be patient (and consistent), there are a couple of vitamins that can improve the overall health of your hair over time.
How much time? Well, the results will vary from person to person. At tip-top speeds, the average growth of hair on the scalp could reach half an inch per month. Combine those results with a nutrient-filled tablet—think vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—and you could witness a boost in length retention, a decrease in thinning, and a surge in shine. That's why celebrities like Kim Kardashian are always raving about their favorite hair vitamins. But just because it works for them, doesn't mean you'll see the same results. That's why you should always check with your doctor before taking supplements, especially if you have allergens, are pregnant, or breast feeding. Not sure where to start? We've gathered our favorite supplements ahead. So keep reading to discover one that fits your needs. 1. PHYTO PHYTOPHANÈRE Hair and Nails Dietary Supplement Kill three birds with one stone thanks to this French nutritional supplement, which claims to promote fuller hair, stronger nails, and radiant skin. Some users even say that they noticed substantial eyelash growth while taking the biotin-filled formula. 2. SugarBearHair Vitamins Those who aren't a fan of taking massive pills will appreciate this gummy option. The chewy tablets include a host of vitamins and minerals—like vitamin A and zinc—that will nourish strands. 3. Nutrafol Women Advanced Thinning Hair & Hair Loss Supplement Here's a formula that works to minimize shedding caused by stress and tension. Even women who suffer from alopecia have praised the collagen-infused supplements. 4. Brock Beauty Hairfinity This supplement has thousands of five-star reviews, and even Kim Kardashian is a fan of the collagen and biotin-rich tablets, which are known to strengthen nails too. 5. Viviscal Extra Strength Hair Nutrient Tablets Viviscal is designed to extend the growth phrase of each hair's cycle. The creators added a patented marine complex in the supplements, which isolates the nutrients in a fish and protein-rich diet. 6. Nouráge Nurishment for Healthier Hair The Nouráge tablets combine biotin, antioxidants, and a patented protein nutrient to boost hair's strength and shine. Customers have noted that you must be patient with this one. So—like anything worth having—it's going to take time. But for thicker shinier hair, it's definitely worth the wait.

The keys to success in the next video clips are the airflow from your blow dryer and the tools/products you use to create your look. You have heard us state – “Product is not an option, it is a necessity” and we will continue to remind everyone that, without styling product, all the work you put into a blow dry will fail you - your look will not hold without styling product! HOW TO BLOW DRY BANGS WITH A COWLICK While you are unable to permanently change the growth pattern of a cowlick we are here to provide a simple blow dry technique for you to take control and alter the growth each time you dry your bangs. For best results, work with your bangs very wet:
You will discover that you are creating an "X" pattern.
