while on holiday. However, there are a few simple tricks that will not only keep your skin and hair in great condition, but also take very little time so you can make the most of your 2019 getaway.
Holiday Hair Care W
Understanding the local water can help understand why hair misbehaves while on holiday. Soft water areas will make your hair feel silky and soft. But if your hair doesn’t react well to being over- hydrated, soft water could make your hair a holiday nightmare. Pack a volumising hair product to counterbalance the effect of soft water. In hard water, hair can become
dehydrated and unmanageable when exposed to heat, sun, chlorine and sea salt. Make sure that you pack extra moisturising and hydrating products to keep your hair manageable. The ideal holiday kit to cover both options is a deep conditioning shampoo and conditioner, a good quality hair oil and a lightweight or silicone-free shampoo and conditioner.

Another unfortunate downside of being in the sun is the effect it has on your hair. It can leave it dry and frizzy and will badly affect coloured or chemically treated hair. There are some excellent
products available at professional salons that can protect your hair colour and condition, as well as reviving after-sun treatments that can neutralise the harmful effects of sun, sea and chlorine. There are a range of products
available through professional salons including Sun Reflects After-Sun treatment by Goldwell for beach holidays. It’s an absolute must; apply generously and leave for 60 seconds. The formula is designed to deeply nourish the hair after a day in the sun. It’s also light enough for fine hair, which is an added bonus.
If possible and to avoid causing damage from a poor-quality hairdryer, take your own. If you are going to a destination that has 240- volt electric, all your appliances will work as they would at home. If you are going to a country with a 120-
