Three ways to hydrate summer hair and bring it back to life

June 29, 2022 Guest User

Fight dryness with a hair serum

Warmer temperatures can leave any hair type frizzy and fluffy, and a good hair serum is the fastest way to restore order.

The best hair serums will work to smooth frizz while also adding shine, making your hair look as healthy as can be. What’s more, today’s best options come with a whole host of added benefits, from colour-protecting ingredients to nourishing actives and deep-hydrating extracts.

Invest in a hair mask

Just like hydrating yourself with a glass of water, a hair mask puts moisture back into the hair giving it a new lease of life. It also helps weakened hair follicles to regain strength and elasticity, helping to avoid further damage.

Don’t forget your scalp

Just like the skin on your face, your scalp can become dry and sensitive when it is exposed to the heat and air conditioning.

Like your skin, you should treat your scalp to some extra TLC in the summer, using products that specifically address your issues.

For instance, applying a weekly soothing scalp mask in the summer is a great way to calm and moisturise your scalp. Daily hydrating scalp toners can also be very beneficial – a healthy scalp is key to hair growth.

How to get shiny hair in five easy steps

June 17, 2022 Guest User

Hands up if you want to learn how to get shiny hair. Everyday exposure to hair styling products, especially heat tools like hairdryers, curlers and straighteners, can really play havoc with our hair.

Throw in pollution, heating and sun damage and it’s no wonder it can be hard to keep hair healthy and shiny.

But don’t worry as there are plenty of ways to get shiny hair and we’re hear to tell you all about five of them.

Avoid sulfates

Hair can easily get bogged down with styling products that can make it less shiny than normal. Sulfates in shampoos and conditioners can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it looking dull, especially if you have dyed or chemically treated hair so opt for products without these.

Try an apple cider vinegar rinse

Steer clear of clarifying shampoos that can strip hair of everything, both the bad and the good, and instead try an apple cider vinegar rinse. We like Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, which can help balance the scalp's natural pH level, and leave hair looking shinier and healthier over time.

Massage your scalp with vitamin E

We all know how good vitamins are for us, but applying them topically to hair can also help make it stronger, healthier and shinier. Here’s a great trick: buy a bottle of vitamin E capsules, snip off the ends of about six capsules and squeeze the oil into a bowl. Next give yourself a pre-shampoo massage with the oil, which will nourish and hydrate hair strands. Then use your regular shampoo to wash it out.

Use a bristle brush

Bristle brushes seal the cuticle, making sure you lock in maximum shine by creating a completely two-dimensional surface for the light to reflect off. These stiff brushes will also draw natural oils from your roots to the ends of your hair, giving you a natural gloss and shine.

Have regular trims

Regular haircuts are a great way to keep hair looking healthy and shiny. You can book an appointment online or give us a call on 01865 553725.

How can I make my hair grow faster?

May 18, 2022 Guest User

How can I make my hair grow faster?

It’s a question we get asked a lot at the salon, and while one of the main things you need is good old time, there are a few things you can do to help boost hair growth.

Read on to find out how can I make my hair grow faster….

Try caffeine-infused products

Caffeine is great for a pick-me-up and research has revealed that it can also help promote hair growth. According to the study, caffeine may help promote new hair growth at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels in both men and women.

Use essential oils

Essential oils smell amazing, and they are great for hair growth, too.

One study found that a daily dose of 400mg of pumpkin seed oil in tablet form resulted in an increase in hair growth in men. After 24 weeks, the men who took pumpkin seed oil experienced a 40 percent increase in hair count!

Stock up on hair growth boosting vitamins

Specific vitamins, minerals and fatty acids are not only good for health but also play a key role in boosting hair growth. This includes:

• biotin

• vitamin C

• vitamin D

• vitamin E

• zinc

• iron

• omega-3 and omega-6

Avoid over-styling

Heat from curling irons, hairdryers, and straighteners can damage your hair and cause breakage. Try to limit use or decrease the temperature of heated styling tools to reduce hair damage.

Have a trim

It might sound counterproductive, but having regular trims can help your hair grow as it gets rid of split ends and encourages healthy growth.

Is having a haircut good for your mental health?

Is having a haircut good for your mental health? What is it about sitting in the salon chair that gives us such a sense of calm and wellbeing?

Could it be that there is a therapeutic element which improves our overall wellness and sense of self? A study by Tamika Roper and Dr. John Barry looked into exactly that, questioning men and women about what they loved about going to the hairdresser.

They concluded that a visit to the hairdressers could boost wellbeing in the same way as talking, watching your favourite TV show or reading magazines.

There’s also a trust factor involved with our hair stylist - many of us refuse to have our hair cut by anyone else once we’ve found someone we like and someone who ‘gets’ us.

Maybe this is not just about the stylist’s ability to cut hair, but also a connection and ease of talking about and sharing personal matters.

On top of that, there is a fresh feeling associated with a haircut or a new hairdo. We leave feeling revived and restored, which of course can also contribute to our perceptions of ourself.
