Did you know… 🔹 Grey hair is simply hair that lacks pigment (melanin). 🔹 How quickly we go grey depends on genetics, nutritional factors, illness and stress. 🔹 Myth: grey hair is coarser in texture. In fact, our hair gets finer as we age. 🔹 As we age, hair gets drier as our sebaceous glands (attached to each hair follicle) secrete less oil. Hair care for silver shades: 💛 Keep brassy tones at bay by using blue or purple toned shampoo. 💛 Add moisture to dry grey hair with a weekly hair and scalp mask. 💛 Apply a heat protecting spray before using heated styling tools. 💛 Grey hair doesn’t mean you stop colouring your hair. A wash of colour or shots of silver and ice blonde can make natural greys look brighter and more contemporary. Are you unwittingly buying fake hair & beauty products?

Start with a pre-holiday trim and professional conditioning treatment for healthy strong strands ready to fend off the onslaught of hot sunshine, salty sea water and chlorinated pools. Avoid sun-stressed locks“Hair becomes weaker, drier and far more prone to breakage and split ends when it is exposed to the sun. This is because the sun’s rays quickly alter the structure of the hair,” explains Dana. To avoid sun-stressed locks apply a high SPF product such as Matrix velvatiser whenever you’re in the sun. Remember your scalp is an extension of your face, so be especially careful along your parting and where hair is thinning. Add much needed moisture by treating hair to an intensive, nourishing mask in the evening. “I like Miracle creator to restore vital moisture lost from exposure to UV rays, heat and pool chemicals and create soft, healthy, shiny locks” says Dana “Ask your stylist to recommend the best one for your hair type.” Coloured hair on vacayColoured hair is especially vulnerable to sun, sea and chlorine.
