If you answered yes to the above then you are most likely suffering from Beach Girl Hair Syndrome and you’re certainly not alone. I myself suffer from this condition, and have been searching the globe for a suitable solution! Let’s face it, unless we give up the beach girl lifestyle, we’re going to be stuck fighting this battle forever. But there are ways to make amends with your hair; we’ve got three easy strategies to help you survive Beach Girl Hair Syndrome this summer.
REPAIR
First things first, your locks are in dire need of attention. John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo and Conditioner are perfect for targeting short broken hairs, flyaways, and damaged, split ends. Formulated with inca inchi oil, a micro-oil rich in omega-3, they will help to repair and nourish your hair in a flash, while eliminating signs of your sea-frolicking, beach girl lifestyle.

RESTORE
Now it’s time to bring out the heavy artillery and deliver some moisture back into your hair. Clairol Professional – Deep Moisture Intensive Mask will instantly moisturise dry locks, leaving them noticeably softer and easy to comb through. This treatment utilises mango extract to provide extra shine, strength and softness to your strands. Remember to really work the treatment into your hair when it’s damp, concentrating on your lengths and ends, leave for five minutes and then rinse.

SUPPORT
It’s not enough to just perform intensive rescues to your hair when signs of distress and damage begin to show. The most effective damage control is often in the prevention. Ensure you keep split ends and brittle strands at bay by using a leave-in conditioning treatment such as Moroccanoil Treatment. The argan oil-based formula helps to repair damaged strands, protect from the effects of harmful UV rays and relieve a dry and itchy scalp while providing a naturally-silky shine. Handy hint: pour a 20-cent piece-sized amount into the palm of your hand and apply it thoroughly through the lengths of your hair.

REMEMBER: Some split ends will never be united and it is sometimes best to just let them go. Get your ends trimmed at least once every six to eight weeks to ensure your hair doesn’t start to look straw-like.
