BEAUTY MUST-HAVES: CROWNING GLORY

Just as we up our daily skincare routine in the summer, so too do we need to give our hair some much-needed TLC. Here are our favourite products to restore the beauty to your barnet.

Don’t be fooled into thinking summer is an invitation to be more relaxed about looking after your hair – the sun, sea and sand can play havoc with your style. Humidity and heat can leave you with dried out frizz, while a couple of days on the beach and you’re dealing with lanky lacklustre.

Ensure you take time to lavish you locks with the latest hair care products, designed to nourish and style, restoring bounce, health and shine. Heat sprays are a must, use alongside your driers, straighteners and rollers to protect your hair; while a weekly masque will leave you with a crowning glory that really deserves its glorious title.
 
SHOW BEAUTY - Volume Lotion 150ml   SLEEP IN ROLLERS - Sleep In Rollers - Black
 
Show Beauty Volume Lotion, £40; Sleep-In Rollers, £17.95.
 
Macadamia Natural Oil - Flawless Experience Collection   Percy and Reed - Bountifully Bouncy Volumising Shampoo 250ml
 
Macadamia Flawless Experience Collection, £26; Percy & Reed Bountifully Bouncy Volumising Shampoo, £14.

Korres - Red Vine Hair Sun Protection 150ml   Shan Rahimkhan - Keep Colour Shampoo with Vegeles Phyto Filtre and Aloe Vera 250ml

Korres Red Vine Hair Sun Protection, £10; Shan Rahimkhan Keep Colour Shampoo, £22.50
