We do put our hair through the mill – blow dries, straighteners, curlers, wavers, colour . Heat styling can dry out your hair, causing breakage and damage. Just like you should get to a beach for some R&R every once in a while, it’s important to give your hair a break from the damaging effects of hot tools.
Summer is the perfect season to ditch the plug in tool and Tangle Teezer have put together these hairstyling hacks designed to help you beat the heat and look your best.
UTILISE THE NATURAL HEAT: Treat your tresses to a deep-conditioning mask, brush through with The Ultimate Detangler €15.95 (formerly The Wet Detangler), twist it up under your sun hat and let those warm temperatures maximise that nourishing power as you sit pool side and sip on a cocktail.
START WITH THE SCALP: Before you hit the shower and rinse, grab the Scalp Exfoliator & Massager €11.75 and using circular motions this multi-tasking marvel with dual teeth will help to detox the scalp & clear product build-up, all while giving you massage-based TLC too.
DRY TIME: Towel dry GENTLY, blot hair, pressing instead of rubbing. Opt for a microfibre towel to minimise damage. The cotton T-shirt is a big hit for the curly girls on Instagram, it reduces frizz while removing water, without disturbing the curl pattern!
FIGHT THE FRIZZ WITH PREP: The key to air drying with a smooth result is hydrating product! Always prep damp tresses with a hydrating protective spray like the Tangle Teezer Detangling Spray €13.95 (available in a version for Fine/Medium and Thick/Curly hair). Spray generously and brush through.
DO THE TWIST: The twist technique creates soft, subtle waves. Begin your twists at the crown for allover waves or at the base of the scalp for bounce that begins chin-length. The tighter you twist, the more dramatic the results.
GET HIGH: A high bun or half pony creates is a sleek and sophisticated holiday option. The Ultimate Styler €19.95 is designed to dry-style and effortlessly finish any look. Easy to manoeuvre you can brush those hydrated and healthy strands into a stylish updo.
