Frizzy, dried-out hairand parched peeling skin can proveparticularly embarrassing, so what youcan pack if you’re planning ahead foryour holiday adventures?If you’re looking to get your baggageallowance down, this might be the cue toleave the hair dryer and straighteners athome. Instead, you’ve got longer hair,plait it while it’s still damp. Once it’s dry,you could let it down for loose waves orsoft curls, which would certainly add atouch of glamour. Up-dos, especially thepony tail, are also big this season andthey can certainly offer a low-maintenance option. Split ends, if leftunchecked, can work their way upwardsleaving hair dull and unmanageable so it’swell worth arranging a session at yoursalon before you jet off.Like the rest of your body, you’ve gotto keep your hair hydrated in thesummer. If you’re heading to the pool,salt water and chlorine dry hair out sobefore you swim, smother your hair inconditioner and slick back for a sleeklook.Keeping hair generally well-conditionedwill reap the rewards throughout yourholidays. Intensive conditioners and hairtreatments are a great way of nourishingyour hair in the heat of the summer, andmany of the latest treatments availablefrom Lincolnshire’s salons and beautyspecialists also have UV protection toshield hair from the sun’s damaging rays,while still looking natural and touchable.Indeed, as Adam Russell, PremierTechnician at Richard Ward Hair, pointsout as he reviews this summer’s trends,“During the day, hair should be styledwith very limited products, to allow for a‘barely there’ finish. As colour is the truefront runner with this theme, movement,elegance and touchability are key.“Sparkling precious stones and summertime deserts will provide inspiration fortones this season – think ruby and garnethues fused with vanilla ice cream andblack current sorbets. Inspired by coloursdancing off the Mediterranean Sea, highshine, bright, reflective tones help to liftskin tones whereas new texture-inspiredcolouring techniques help to give a newdimension to the professional colourpalette.“This summer, soft highlighting andbalyage techniques work brilliantly to liftblonde hair and create a cool, high shinefinish. Tresses should have a bright,almost washed out beachy quality to it –think clean and natural. For brunettes,cool, soft chocolatey tones are alwayspopular in warmer months. Promoting arich and fabulous shine, these naturallooking tones are great for an effortless,low maintenance finish.”When it comes to the rest of your body,DazzlingShowcase your glossy hair and good looks to thewider world in the warmer months© shutterstock/AXLbeauty46-47_Layout 1 20/04/2017 11:36 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRETODAY47HAIR & BEAUTYWhy notadd a treatmentto your daystarting from£20 for 30 mintreatmentGulham Spa is a family-run boutique spabusiness nestled in the picturesquebackdrop of Market Rasen.

Most beauty experts will tell you the best anti-ageingsecret is sun protection. That’s not just on your holidays either– come rain or shine you need to watch out against the sun’srays. If you’re worrying about looking dehydrated during theheat, there are plenty of ways to rescue the situation.Cleaning and pampering the skin with a good moisturiser canwork wonders for both women and men. Investing in adecent quality moisturiser also make a noticeable differencewith the smallest of efforts, keeping the skin hydrated andelastic and leaving it with a taunt look and a healthy glow.Indeed, men’s skin is generally thicker and oilier than awoman’s, so a foaming face wash in the morning andevening, without the need to invest in a cabinet full ofproducts, can keep the skin cleansed.The warmer months may well be the perfect opportunity toupgrade your beauty routine to include mineral makeup. Thebeauty of mineral makeup is you can still use your favouritemoisturiser but by applying mineral foundation you get theadded SPF broad spectrum UVA and UVB from 18-30 SPFdepending on brand. It’s a makeup that respects the skin.With pure milled minerals, there’s no oil to block the pores,no talc to make those fine lines feel like craters and nofragrance – just makeup that is lightweight, healing andbreathable. Unlike other makeup, you can crawl in at thelight of dawn and sleep in your makeup – no doubt ofparticular value if you’re planning a particularly raucoussummer holiday – and yes, you can exercise in it too.As with much make-up, in terms of the quality of theproduct, you generally get what you pay for. There are somevery good brands available on the High Street but you’d bewell advised to beware of brands packed full of otheringredients that aren’t good. Some can still contain up to70% talc which makes the benefit of the mineral ingredientssomewhat negligible.Most salons will offer the real deal and be happy to showyou how to apply it and colour match your foundation.Salons will normally offer a mineral application after acosmetic procedure such as permanent cosmetics, injectablesor microdermabrasion. This way, even if you’ve just nippedout during your lunch break, you won’t go back to the officewith angry looking waxed brows or a red shiny top lip!The arrival of the sun can send us all a bit loopy but it’sworth spending a couple of minutes before we dash out tomake sure we won’t regret it the next day.
