I ♥ Weleda's Rosemary Hair Lotion: natural remedy for stressed surf & snow tresses
Winters frozen by powder, then frazzled by sea salt and sun in the summer, my hair's a fragile mess. Leave in conditioners and oodles of serum do help, but it'd be nice to find something more natural than the synthetic products I drench my barnet in to prevent split ends and keep it shiny.
Weleda have the answer: Weleda's Rosemary Hair Lotion is loaded with the pungent herb for a a light weight liquid conditioning hair oil, that both moisturises the hair and scalp. It also has anti-fungal (i.e. dandruff!) properties - good for keeping away any sea born bacteria too and has a real 'vintage-find' feel.

Beauty: The Body Shop's 2008 beach essentials
My hair hates me; frozen all winter while I snowboard fresh powder, it's now being punished further, soaked in salty surf.

Thankfully The Body Shop has come to the rescue with some lush new moisturising lines for skin and hair this summer.
Soaked up by normal to dry hair, their Honey Moisturising Shampoo (2) and Conditioner (3) is made with Community Trade, organic Honey from the northwest of Zambia - which, farmed using traditional methods, helps protect and preserve tropical forests and maintain an income for the local, often female, beekeepers.
