Summer haircare advice: uk staycation

Spending Summer on home turf generally means unpredictable weather with everything from scorching sunshine to pouring rain for clients to contend with. 

Preparation is key, both in terms of getting hair healthy and hydrated before the holidays commence and packing the right products to maintain that prime condition no matter what the weather has in store. 

Shaun Newman of Trevor Sorbie, Brighton, says: "In Summer, we recommend using a suncare range even if clients are staying in the UK - UV rays are still damaging when the sun doesn't feel strong. I'd also suggest clients pack hairspray, which will keep hair in check in wind and rain to a certain degree. Humidity control products will protect from all weather eventualities, whether that's wind, rain or sunshine." 

In terms of styling, clients may not feel the need for festival-inspired updos and intricate accessories when holidaying at home, but that doesn't mean they can't have fun with their hair. 

Shaun says: "Clients should style their hair as they would for a special occasion so that it has staying power and can easily be transformed as the day goes on. For example, if you start the day by styling curls tightly, they can drop out slightly and still look great. Loose curls worn down are more natural anyway, so don't worry about the wind - it can enhance the style! Alternatively if the weather is truly awful, tie hair into a neat, sleek bun so it stays firmly under control."
