Summer haircare advice: adventure holiday

For some clients, holidays don't mean rest and relaxation; any free time for this go-getting globetrotter is spent involved with sports, outdoor pursuits and daredevil activities - the more adventurous the better. 

Protecting their hair during the day is a priority, and while on-trend styles may not be a necessity when hair is hidden beneath a helmet or soaked with sea water, the intrepid adventurer still wants to look gorgeous and groomed after a day spent in the great outdoors. 

Kerry Mather of KJM Salons, Fleet, Hampshire, says: "The girl who loves adventure also tends to prefer simple hairstyles that can easily be transformed from her daytime activity to an evening look." 

"Suggest products to maintain smooth, healthy and tangle-free hair and styles that can easily be adapted by night. Apply a small amount of smoothing, UV-protecting product during the day, then dress the hair into a fashionable but practical plait or ponytail, adding a little more product around the hairline and ends for protection. Release in the evening for instantly styled locks with beautiful texture." 

Alternatively, if hair has had a real battering from the elements, wash with a clarifying shampoo to remove build-up from product and environmental aggressors. Wind, seawater, chlorine, heat and humidity all affect the health of the hair, so provide product suggestions that will both protect and repair the hair. If packing space is at a premium, recommend products that multi-task for locks that look as good after the holiday as they did before.
