Summer hair tips from Paul Labrecque
|
New York stylist PAUL LABRECQUE has worked with Helen Mirren, Naomi Watts and Trudie Styler. Here are some of his top tips for summer.
Before getting on a plane leave hair slightly damp with a leave in styling product/conditioner. This will help condition hair and retain much-needed moisture lost from an airplane's dry, stale air. A light leave-in conditioner will leave your air-dried hair feeling soft and manageable without weighing it down.
Choosing your summer style Choosing your summer colour Pre-holiday hair
If you are preparing for a beach holiday, start by preparing your hair with a treatment that will keep its vitality while away. If you are going to be under intense sun, I would save colouring and cutting until I arrived back home.
Protecting your hair on holiday
When you are out in intense sun take the factor 30 sun screen you use on your skin and slather it into your hair. What's good for the skin can never harm hair. Always bring a loose scrunchy when walking in humidity to keep your hair away from your face. Loose scrunchies never mark the hair.
Can't afford salon treatments for your holiday?
Some of the most nourishing ingredients for your hair can be found in your fridge! Avocados and olive oil are filled with essential fats that are often used in hair products; mayonnaise, eggs, and milk contain lipids and proteins that are very nourishing for your hair and scalp. Blend, chill and apply. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, rinse and shampoo for amazing shine!
Paul's ultimate summer treatment tip
Give yourself a hot oil treatment while you sunbathe. Bury it in the sand to heat the liquid to an oil, then slick it into your hair, make it into a pony tail and continue to sunbathe or spend the day on the beach. It will not only protect your hair, but you will have received an excellent deep, hot oil treatment whilst you're out playing. At night, or back at the hotel, shampoo and style your hair as normal.
