Hair
and Makeup for the Christmas
Holidays
Would you
like to find out what
those-in-the-know have to say
about hair and makeup? The
information in the article below
comes straight from well-informed
experts with special knowledge
about hair and makeup.
When you
are away from home in a different
climate your hair will be
subjected to weather it is not
used to.
Your hair
needs to be protected in the same
way that you do with your skin.
UV rays are very harmful to your
hair affecting the pigment,
strength, shine and
vitality.
For your
skin you take with you cleanser,
moisturizer, sunscreen and
after-sun lotions so for your
hair take shampoo, conditioner,
hair sunscreen and styling
products.
Cold
Climate
1. Cold
temperatures weaken your hair and
susceptible to damage. Flyaway
hair tends to be subject to
static. Hair should be well
conditioned and protected by
wearing a hat.
2. If you
have frizzy hair use a leave-in
conditioner and take a deep
moisturizing mask with you on
holiday. All hair types will
benefit from using a heat
protection spray and serum to
keep the elements out and keep
the moisture in.
Humid
climate
3. Hair
expands just like it does when it
is wet in a humid climate. This
will make your hair fluffy or if
it is curly, frizzy.
4. For all
hair types, a pre-holiday deep
conditioning treatment is a must
to nourish the hair and seal the
cuticles, as you want to prevent
excess moisture from entering the
hair shaft.
5. If you
have fine hair use a light
leave-in conditioner from mid-way
down the hair to the ends and use
a serum to seal the ends after
blow-drying, being careful not to
overdo the serum on fine
hair.
6. If you
have curly and/or frizzy hair
then you need to seal the cuticle
(the outside of your hair) to
minimize the additional
frizziness that results in humid
weather.
7. Use a
leave-in conditioner very
morning. Use an anti-frizz serum
to coat and seal the
cuticle.
Hot and
dry climate
Knowledge
can give you a real advantage. To
make sure you're fully informed
about hair and makeup, keep
reading.
8. The sun
strips the hair of its natural
oils and dry heat increases this
effect. UV rays attack your hair
and the resulting free radicals
damage the hair. The weakened
cuticle causes the hair to become
dehydrated, allows the bleaching
and fading of the color pigment
as well as split ends.
9. To
protect your hair 100 rom sun
damage wear a hat!
10. Deep
conditioning your hair before
your holiday is
essential.
11. If you
have fine hair use a wash your
hair with a gentle shampoo and
use a light leave-in conditioner
with UV protection. Use a
sun-protection spray containing a
UV filter to screen your hair
from the effects of the sun and
seawater and re-apply after going
in the sea.
12. If you
have curly hair use a
moisturizing shampoo and a
leave-in conditioner to minimize
dryness. Apply a nourishing hair
mask whilst you are away to deep
condition your hair. Use a
sun-protection spray containing a
UV filter to screen your hair
from the effects of the sun and
seawater and re-apply after going
in the sea.
13. If you
have frizzy hair use a
sun-protection spray containing a
UV filter to screen your hair
from the effects of the sun and
seawater and re-apply after going
in the sea.Use a rich leave-in
conditioner with UV protection
each morning and apply a hair
mask every other day during the
holiday.
14. When
you have been swimming in the sea
always wash the salt out
afterwards.
15.
Chlorine from the swimming pool
is extremely damaging when
combined with the effects of the
sun, wet your hair in the shower
before hand and protect your hair
with a leave-in conditioner
preferably one containing a UV
filter. Wash your hair thoroughly
after swimming.
16. Hair
grips and bands are an extremely
useful item to have on holiday
and offer a quick-fix solution
for hair care
problems.
17. Don't
forget your travel plug to ensure
that you can still use your
hairdryer and other electric
hairstyling equipment whilst
abroad.
Bon
Voyage!
