Redken, Frizz Dismiss Mask, £18.38, Look
FantasticSunbathing and swimming are some of the best parts about a summer holiday but, while they do wonderful
things for your mind and body, the same cannot be said for your hair.
In fact, the combination of sun and sea can cause so much havoc on your tresses that Larry King, a celebrity
hairstylist and founder of Larry King Haircare, suggests booking a follow-up appointment with your
hairdresser as soon as soon as you touch back down at home.
However, there are a few things you can do to protect and repair your hair while you’re on holiday.
“A great way of looking after your hair is to apply a really good conditioning hair mask before you head to
the beach,” King tells The Independent.
The stylist recommends layering the mask thickly on to wet hair and slicking it back for a chic wet
look; rinsing out before heading for dinner.
“Brushing it back rather than into a parting will also help avoid burning your scalp where your hair parts,”
King says.
The stylist adds that his go-to mask is Redken’s Frizz Dismiss which is specially formulated with nourishing
Brazilian pracaxi oil, also known as the “miracle oil”, to boost moisture levels and hydrate hair, leaving it
smooth and silky soft.
Another top tip for caring for your tresses while on vacation is to invest in a wide-tooth comb as this kind of
tool is much gentler on your lengths when you brush wet hair.
