Hello & welcome to part 2 of my summer series (how formal)!
So, this part of the series is dedicated to hair care. I suppose I should mention that all of these products work for me. I have oily, fine hair and although these products work for me, they might not particularly work for you. However, I have included products that I believe will suit all hair types. Now that's out the way, let's get on with it!
L-R Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Tousled Salt Spray, Fudge Urban Texturising Spray, Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Cream, L'Oreal Kids Tangle Tamer, Fudge Urban Instant Smoothie.
I chose to include 2 salt sprays in this post just because I cannot choose between them! The two I chose are Umberto Giannini's Tousled Salt Spray and Fudge Urban's Sea Salt Spray.. Both of these create beautiful beachy waves that are perfect for the summer when your hair is getting enough heat damage from the sun! They're both incredible quick and easy to use however, the Fudge Urban one definitely works better than Umberto Giannini's on dry hair - so if you're looking for a salt spray to use on dry hair, definitely go for Fudge Urban one. They both don't make my hair greasy, don't dry it out, hold the style all day and brush out easily. Also, the Urban Fudge smells like summer, coconuts etc so it's more fitting with the theme!
I also included my favourite Herbal Essences Split End Protection Cream. When you're taking holiday snaps, you want to make sure that your hair looks beautiful and those nasty split ends will make your hair look yucky and unhealthy so this is a must! I also added L'Oreal Kids Tangle Tamer because if your hair is like mine then as soon as your hair touches water, it becomes knotty. This helps to ease the knots and also leaves hair smelling gorgeous!
You must know that horrible feeling when you leave the house with beautifully straight, frizz free hair and as soon as you hit the sunshine, your hair turns into a huge frizz ball thanks to the humidity? Well that's no more with Fudge Urban's Instant Smoothie. Like the salt spray, this also smells gorgeous and like summer so it's guaranteed to get you in the mood! But of course, the smell isn't everything. This product actually performs. The idea of this is to lightly spray your hair after straightening, brush through and wella, beautiful frizz free hair. I honestly thought that it was too good to be true. But it really isn't! A few light sprays of this and you're good to go for the rest of the day. It really is becoming my daily staple and I wouldn't be without it. My hair is kept looking sleek and straight throughout the day - and it doesn't make my hair greasy or flat!
L-R TommyGuns Climate Control Styling Spray, TommyGuns Clever Curls & Waves Texture Spray
My two final products are by TommyGuns and this includes the Climate Control Spray which I mentioned here. This is perfect for the English weather when you cannot guarantee what the weather will bring you. Also, I've been trying out TommyGuns Clever Curls & Waves Texture Spray. This is like a salt spray but you can create two looks from this. Waves or curls.. and also a lot of texture. I love using this when my hair is up in a ponytail - it makes my ponytail look huge! Anyway, this product is wonderful; it isn't drying, it doesn't make hair greasy and it smells beautiful. You can use this on wet or dry hair.. if you leave your hair to dry naturally, you'll get gorgeous beachy waves however, if you blowdry your hair with this on, you'll get beautiful curls!
These are the products I'd recommend for summer time. What are you favourite summer hair products?
