Summer hair SOS: Bring back the bounce

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

Summer takes its toll on your hair with damage from the sun, surf and sand. Here we show you how to transform frazzled hair into fabulous locks.

Bring back the bounce

It can be hard to maintain beautiful, lustrous waves during summer. Says George Giavis, of The Blonde Room, "Curls can become brittle, frazzled and crackly during summer, making the waves rigid rather than bouncy, dull rather than shiny. It’s important to boost conditioning treatments during this time, to ensure the curls are given loads of body and movement."

To create this pictured style he says, "Ensure that freshly washed hair is completely dry, by tipping head upside down and removing all moisture with a blowdryer. To create more volume, spritz before drying with a volumising mousse or lotion [such as John /Frieda Luxurious Volume Bountiful Body Mousse, 212g, $16]. Then separate hair into sections and wrap hair smoothly around large Velcro rollers. Keep rollers in hair for at least 15 minutes, while doing make-up, then remove rollers and lightly break up the curls with your fingers. Spray with hairspray [John Frieda Luxurious Volume All-Out Hold Hairspray, 240g, $16]."
