Beach Ready
Protecting your skin against UV damage by applying sunscreen is a neccessity, but did you know that being under the sun for hours on end can also damage your hair?






Know Your Water
Don’t underestimate the effects which water has on your hair after you shampoo. While travelling to a different country means being exposed to different types of water, here are some properties of hard and soft water you need to know.
SOFTNESS YOU CAN FEEL
If you’re staying near the lakes, rivers or streams which get their water from melted ice caps, it’s likely that these water are pure, with traces of sodium. While they have a slight moisturising effect, it may weigh down fine hair.

Winter Wonderland
Snowy landscapes may be your winter dream-come-true but the wind and frigid temperatures can deal serious damage to your locks.
Cold and dry weather causes dehydration not only to your skin but also to your hair and scalp. When exposed to the cold air, hair cuticles can become brittle and dry. Coupled with strong winds, which causes friction between hair strands, and static, split ends would start to form, making hair appear dull and frizzy compared to being in Singapore. Read on to see what you should bring along to battle against the elements.





All Hiked Up
Fresh air and lush green surroundings may offer a cool respite from the urban landscapes we are used to, but not every city dweller likes the feeling of having sweat pour down their hair and face during a hike.
If you’re going on a half-day hike, pack along a bottle of dry shampoo so that you can refresh both your scalp and hair and take away any bad hair odours as well.





HARD ON YOUR HAIR
If you are going to visit a hot spring, you will most likely be exposed to hard water. London’s tap water is also known to dispense hard water due to the chalk and limestone which the water passes through underground. Hard water consists of a myriad of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium, and although some minerals are known to be beneficial for the skin, too much of it can lead to buildup and impede the efficiency of your shampoos. Research has even shown that it may also cause coloured hair to fade faster.
Must use hair products: Great for thick to coarse hair, this shampoo helps clean away impurities while maintaining a vibrant hair colour and improving on colour luminosity. Goldwell Colour Extra Rich Brilliance Shampoo, $30 (250 ml).
