For a sun-baked effect that lasts through hot

and humid days, start building texture in the

shower with Redken Beach Envy Volume

Texturizing Shampoo and Conditioner,

$26.95 each, before using your favourite

styling product like John Frieda Beach

Blonde Sea Waves Sea-Salt Spray, $16.99.

Everything we love about summer – surf,

sand, chlorine – also strips your hair of protein.

“Cleansing conditioners cleanse and condition

in one step, helping to balance and refresh hair

without stripping or depleting natural oils and

nutrients,” says O’Rourke. And they’re a space

saver if you’re travelling. Try Matrix Biolage

Cleansing Conditioner for Medium Hair, $39.95.

CUT BACK

ON TOOL TIME

Your hair is already exposed to a

lot of heat, so give it a break with

a few “tools-down” days. “If you

are going to use heated styling

equipment, invest in a high-quality

tool that has variable heat options,

and always use a heat protection

spray to stop colour fade and

further breakage,” says O’Rourke.

A humidity shield such as

Tigi Bed Head Straighten

Out, $27.95, can also extend

the life of your blow-out.

“Water, along with sunlight and chlorine, is a key

reason why your colour fades quicker in summer,”

explains O’Rourke. Pre-pool, drench hair with

fresh water to minimise chlorine absorption and

coat with a light wax which acts as a barrier;

post-pool, rinse right away. At home, reduce

colour fade with Goldwell Kerasilk Color

Shampoo and Conditioner, $34.95 each.

The new way to wear this summer

style: “Wrap a leather cord

around the knot or weave through

a braid,” suggests O’Rourke.

LEARN TO LOVE

GEL AGAIN

Glossy wet-look hair minimises frizz and works

on all types. For shorter hair, cover all over with

gel. (Try Garnier Fructis Style Sculpting Gel,

$7.65.) On longer styles, combine mousse with

serum and coat strands from root to tip.

“Blow-dry hair backwards using a round

bristle brush to create a smooth and sleek base,

and if you have a part, use a comb to ensure it’s

completely straight,” says O’Rourke. For extra

shine, O’Rourke suggests applying an oil or

serum with a toothbrush on styled hair.
