Healthy Holiday Hair Guide

Top Tips To Keep Your Hair Healthy on Your Summer Holidays

There’s nothing quite like that feeling of heading off on holiday. Sun on your skin, salt in the air, and a well-earned break from the day-to-day. But while holidays do wonders for our mood, they can play havoc with your hair. If you’ve ever returned home with colour fade, dry ends or brittle, sun-stressed hair, you’ll know exactly what we mean.

At Eutopia Spa Hair & Beauty Salons in Glasgow and Helensburgh, we believe your hair should look and feel as good as you do on your travels. With a little preparation and the right products, you can keep your hair colour vibrant and your locks healthy all summer long.

Protect Your Hair Like You Protect Your Skin

Most of us wouldn’t dream of sitting in the sun without applying SPF to our skin. Your hair deserves the same care. UV rays can cause your colour to fade, especially if your hair is blonde, balayaged, or fashion coloured. Even natural hair shades can become dry, dull and brittle with too much sun exposure.

That’s why we recommend the System Professional Solar Range, available at our salons. This luxurious collection is designed to shield your hair from the effects of sun, salt water and chlorine, while nourishing it from within. Think of it as your hair’s holiday essential.

Nourish And Hydrate Before You Go

Healthy hair starts before you even board the plane. In the weeks leading up to your holiday, treat your hair to a deep conditioning treatment in salon. Our expert team can recommend the perfect treatment to strengthen and prepare your hair for the sun, sea and pool days ahead.

A professional trim is also a good idea before you go. It helps get rid of any dry or damaged ends and keeps your hair looking neat and fresh throughout your holiday.

Pool & Sea Care Made Simple

Swimming is one of the joys of a summer holiday, but chlorine and salt water can leave hair feeling dry and fragile. Applying a leave-in product from the System Professional Solar Range before swimming helps to create a protective barrier, reducing damage and making your hair easier to manage after your dip.

It’s always a good idea to rinse your hair with fresh water after swimming. This helps to remove any salt or chlorine before it can take its toll.

Keep Colour Fresh & Vibrant

If you’ve invested in beautiful hair colour, you’ll want it to stay looking its best. The sun can lift and fade colour, particularly blondes, coppers and brunettes with rich tones. Using the System Professional colour-safe shampoos and conditioners, plus colour boosting masks, keeps your colour bright, glossy and full of life.

If you’re going on an extended trip or spending a lot of time in the sun, chat to your stylist about a glossing treatment when you get back. It’s the perfect way to revive your colour and restore softness and shine.
