subject: Holiday Hair Styles For 2012 [print this page] With the summer fast approaching, there is always the frantic last minute panic over what hair accessories to take with, what hair care products to pack, how to fight the frizz on the beach and how to look hot in the heat. While this is exciting and creates the summer time buzz, this is also very panic provoking! To escape any worries and anxieties in preparation for your holiday, find out how to look great while sporting healthy, well styled hair.
The key tip to holiday hairstyles is to create a finishing product with a laid back, relaxed, no-effort style that still looks great. If you have naturally wavy hair then you are instantly at an advantage, as tame, frizz free waves are ideal for any holiday. Teamed with a plaited headband whether this is natural or a hair piece and you are good to go.
If you are not blessed with naturally well behaved hair, dont panic! The alternatives are many. Whether it be wearing your hair in a chic up do like a pretty bun or sophisticated low pony, or investing in hats and head scarves, there is always a way to look stunning in the sun.
Styling the hair is very important, but looking after the hair is another routine that cant be relaxed on holiday. In fact, it is more important to make sure the hair is treated well when in the sun to protect it from drying out and becoming brittle. If you colour your hair, the best thing to do is to get it done at least two weeks before going away so that the hair is able to replenish and itself before being exposed to the harmful rays of the sun. It is advisable to get the hair trimmed when coloured before going on holiday too.
While on holiday, protective sprays and serums are a must there is no going overboard! If you have applied an excessive amount and the hair looks or feels greasy, just apply a dry shampoo or even a spot of talcum powder to the roots to replace any lost volume or dimension.
Aforementioned was the advised use of hair pieces such as hats and head scarves to add to your style. These accessories are also brilliant to wear on the beach to protect the hair and scalp from any unnecessary sun damage. Again, products such as volumising sprays can be used if flat hair is caused.
