The Ultimate Summer Hair Guide! Keep Your Hair Healthy, Hydrated and Frizz Free with Lee Stafford

At this time of the year when the days are long and the heat seems never ending we quite often have customers asking us, “how can I make sure my hair is kept protected all summer long?” Read on for our best tips and advice straight from Lee Stafford HQ. 

With long hot days comes hair that can become quite dry, dehydrated and frizzy. The weather plays a big part in your hair not feeling quite right during the summer months, and that’s where it's important to have the right products to address these issues.  

First up, a good, hydrating hair routine starts with a Shampoo and Conditioner. The Lee Stafford Hyaluronic Hydration Hair Quenching Shampoo and Conditioner is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid which is a holy grail ingredient when it comes to boosting hydration. Hyaluronic Acid delivers a dual action hydration boost: it binds moisture to the scalp for comfort and resilience, while infusing the hair fibre with long-lasting hydration from root to tip. Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant not a moisturiser, so it works by retaining water and drawing it to the skin's surface, which makes it hydrating, as opposed to moisturising. In addition, it reduces frizz by sealing the hair cuticle preventing unwanted moisture from entering.  

Secondly, the perfect way to protect your hair in the heat is by using a Heat Protection Spray. Heat Protection isn’t just for use with hot tools such as hair dryers, curlers and straighteners, in this hot weather heat protection is non-negotiable. Here at Lee Stafford healthy hair is at the heart of everything we do, therefore not only do we have our multi award-winning Heat Protection Shine Mist, but we also have our new multi-tasking Hair Perfume Mists in four divine, long-lasting scents. They not only protect hair from the harsh effects of heat damage and urban pollution, but they also add shine and fight fizz! The Hair Perfume Mists are Infused with Sunflower Extract which is known to protect hair from harmful UV rays and heat damage. They are perfect to pop into your handbag for on-the-go or to use as a finishing touch before you head on out.

Hair oils are a wonderful way to soften hair and help keep frizz at bay. They’re versatile in the way that you can use them, you can use them on dry hair or wet hair, however, keep in mind a little goes a long way with hair oils.  Our Coco Loco Shine Oil is a lighter hair oil suitable for those with fine to medium hair. We would recommend starting with 2-3 drops to ensure you don’t overload your hair. If you have medium to thick hair, we recommend using the Argan Oil Nourishing Miracle Oil, if you have a thicker hair type we’d recommend starting with 3-4 drops. Both hair oils are moisturising and frizz fighting, they smooth down flyaways leaving you with soft shiny hair in seconds.
