There's still time for festival hair - here are our tips for clients

Although summer would seem to be drawing to a close soon, festival season is still in full swing with 20 more British festivals alone still to get through. If you have clients that are heading to any festivals to catch the last of the summer sunshine then Alter Ego Italy creative ambassador Pete Burkhill insists this is the time to go bold. “Go big or go home!” says Pete. “With artists being braver than ever with their hair, so should you! More is definitely more with the revival of the noughties – more height, more box braids, more colour, more texture.” Here are his top tips for festival hair 1 Dry Shampoo – this will take you through a few days without the feeling of dirty tresses. 2 Sun protection spray – protect your hair as well as your skin with a UVA protection spray simply spritzed onto hair every day, such as Alter Ego Italy Protection Oil. 3 Hair fragrance – unwashed, sweaty hair can become a little bit stinky, so spritz with a hair fragrance to keep smelling fresh day and night. 4 Sea salt spray – on day one wear braids, day two remove them and spritz hair with sea salt spray for mermaid waves, then on day three pile it high into a messy topknot. 5 Semi-permanent colour - the brighter and more intensive the colour, the longer it will last. So, if you’re returning to a more conservative workplace, choose a stonewashed pastel that will quickly wash out. For festival hair style inspiration head to our Pinterest page
