Being a water gal has some benefits to your hair - you get natural blonde highlights and that 'beach hair' texture that so many products try to replicate, but it's not all good news. Salt water, the sun and wind can leave your hair dry, damaged and destroyed - here's how to avoid a permanent bad hair day...
Before you go in the water, slather on a helping of Philip Kingsley's Swim Cap (£16), not only does it protect your locks from wind, salt water and UV damage, it also deep conditions while it works - a double whammy of goodness for your sea-beaten hair.
When you get home, treat your hair to John Masters Organics Honey & Hibiscus Hair Restructing Shampoo (£26). The formulation of organic jojoba oil, lavender, honey, hibiscus, ylang ylang and pink grapefruit smells delish and will work wonders on dry and damaged hair.
