Our hair is probably never as exposed to sun, heat, dry winds and sea water more than during Summer. But don't stress, there are a few things you can do to avoid frizz and dryness, while keeping your hair fresh the whole season. Here are 6 easy steps to prep your hair for the Summer. 1. GET A HAIRCUT. Start off Summer with a fresh look. 2. MOISTURISE. Invest in a really good moisturising hair treatment, and make it a habit to use it at least twice a week. 3. FRESH BRUSH. Don't forget to wash your hair brush with a bit of shampoo. Maybe even time to get yourself a new one? 4. STYLISH PROTECTION. Get a hat! It's the best way to avoid burning your head while staying sane in the sun, and its obviously very stylish. 5. UV PROTECTION. Your hair needs UV protection. Take an extra look at your products and be sure at least some of them contain some UV protection, whether it be your styling cream or shampoo. 6. HAIR OIL. The best way to avoid dry hair and frizz is to treat your hair with oils. Apply from the middle of your hair down.
