I'm sure you have all seen the adverts for the Go Blonder range (we know you stole the SUN!! lol). I can't really comment on how well they naturally and gradually lighten blonde hair as alas I am a brunette. (Though if you are curious to see what I look like blonde just click here). However, I can tell you that John Frieda are currently running a competition giving you the chance to become a Go Blonder model for the day! This will include a makeover, photoshoot and you will feature on the cover of a top magazine. For more details head on down to www.goblonder.co.uk.
In conjunction with this amazing prize I am also running a competition for two of my lovely readers to win a month's supply of John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below with your best Summer hair tip. I don't discriminate... all hair colours are welcome ;). I have actually heard great things from brunettes who have used this range as they have found it made their hair extra shiny... I'm tempted to try it!
This competition will run for a week! You can enter as many times as you like, so share your secrets :) xxx
My tip would be to wet your hair and apply conditioner if you can before swimming in a pool to protect your locks from chlorine chemicals!
ReplyDeleteLOL just noticed how that John Frieda model's pose is so similar to my avatar at the top of the page!!
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to avoid using heat every day. Try to let your hair dry naturally some days :)
ReplyDeleteMy tip is togo allover more natural in the Summer. Let your hair dry naturally and avoid using straighteners/curlers as much as possible. Also use less products as they can weigh your hair down and make it greasier quicker in the summer.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is Morrocan Oil or/and velcro rollers. Both help in styling the hair and making it wearable with less heat. The oil cuts drying and straightening time by over a half for me. Meanwhile I can use the velcro rollers when I'm drying my hair naturally and it stops the hair from kinking, frizzing and puffing all over the place. I usually only put rollers on my notoriously unruly bits of hair.
ReplyDeletemy best tip for summer is olive oil! I use it as a mask/treatment by putting it on my ends and leaving it in for half an hour, or I use a tiny tiny amount on my ends to control frizz in the humid weather!
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to look for products that don't contain sulphates as sulphates strip you hair of its natural oils. You may need to shock your hair into products without them, but once your hair gets used to it, it will be much less dry and easier to work with. I believe natural oils work so much better than any product you can throw in your hair. Also, for summer I recommend using as little products in hair as possible, because everything you put in ends up dripping on your face! Recipe for breakouts...
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to always use a hair spray that contains spf every time before you go out in the sun to protect your hair from the nasty sun. And of course, you should avoid using a lot of hot tool on your hair during the hot months, as hair can't take all this heat and will eventually start breaking!
ReplyDeleteMy summer hair tip for blondes is to use a tonifying shampoo that will restore the shimmer and shine after being in the sun, sea water, and chlorine. No one likes crunchy blonde hair!
ReplyDeleteMy summer hair tip for any hair type is to always let it dry naturally! Hair can dry out more in the summer and adding extra heat to the mix can dry it out more. If you love drying your hair with a hairdryer, try letting it dry naturally and apply some product to help your hair go wavy and rock some surfer girl locks.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is wash your hair every other day to prevent stripping it of it natural oils, also too its saving water and thats good for the environment.
ReplyDeleteMy hair gets very dry in hot weather so I usually condition it before I got to bed and wash it off the next morning.
ReplyDeleteMy tip is to use jasmine oil as an overnight hair treatment. I massage it into the scalp and apply evenly through the hair. Shampoo out the next morning and not only will your hair be very soft and silky but it will also smell delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy second tip is to use a dry shampoo like Batiste on alternate days. Summer sun tends to dry out hair more and combined with washing everyday can leave hair a little dry. I find using the dry shampoo allows my hair to retain some of it's natural oils and moisture in between washes :)
ReplyDeleteMy third tip (I know, I'm naughty!) is to help create a tousled beach look. Wash your hair in the evenings and go to bed with it about 80% dry. You will find that in the morning it is messy but totally beach sexy! I sometimes plait a few strands in the front to give it a bit of a hippy feel.
ReplyDeleteMmmM my tip would have to if you have dyed hair before you go into a pool rub it in jasmiine oil it helps prevent the elements in the pool stripping your hair colour
ReplyDeleteMy tip for curly haired girls is to go natural. Straightening in the heat and humidity often just frizzes my hair up further, so I just let the curls be!
ReplyDeleteuse a bit of lemon juice to lighten your hair in the sun!
ReplyDeleteLet your hair dry naturally and use a leave in conditioner to protect your hair from heat. x
ReplyDeleteMy best hair tip is to use Batiste Dry Shampoo,I've only just started using it and love the Tropical one,its great between washes and if you are going out,adds a bit of much needed volume to my hair.
ReplyDeletei love wavy beachy hair in the summer its so natural and easy to achieve. i simply do a french plat from one side of my face to the other (with oil already in it) and put in cocunut oil or a deep conditioner into my hair in the back while its wet, it dries lovely and its protected from the sun!!
ReplyDeleteuse it's a 10 miracle leave in conditioner every day! helps dry damaged hair revitalize!
ReplyDeleteWe touched on rejection and persistence last time, and now we are In particular if a model drops up and the shoot requires an urgent tankini swim suit.
ReplyDeletebecome a model
I actually just discovered a new summer hair secret weapon! It's Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Creme. One pump of this and my hair is frizz free and moisturized all day and then some. I highly, highly recommend it. :)
ReplyDeleteI try to leave my hair to dry naturally a couple of times a week now and it has made a difference the the dry ends. Also use a warm oil on the ends a couple of times a month, I leave it on over night and wash out the next day, it stops the ends looking so dry.
ReplyDeleteUse conditioner after every wash and use hot oil to really condition your hair once in a while.
ReplyDeleteLove the go blonder range.
ReplyDeleteUse a clarifying shampoo to strip all the grime , products , chlorine etc out . It leaves your hair really soft and shiny ... pantene is a good one ... and if going to the beach use a leave in conditioner such as Charles Worthington hair healer.
ReplyDeleteMy summer tip would be to use a good serum straight after washing if you have curly, brittle hair. It will keep it soft and smooth all day long.
ReplyDeleteI'm a dirty blonde and need to try this to help with my colour, the only thing I dont need is for it to penetrate my brain as i'm blonde enough there!
ReplyDeleteA good trick is to use a little mayo when your out of deep conditioner, it leaves your hair beautifully shiny with out looking greasy.
my hair is dull blonde and very dry. once a week a mix some olive oil and conditioner together and leave on my hair overnight. this leaves my hair in excellent condition with no dry ends
ReplyDeleteI have fine hair so I would say only use conditioner once a week & prevent using other hair products wax,gel etc as sometimes it weighs it down more.
ReplyDeleteMy tip for summer is always use a leave in conditioner instead of the normal wash out one
ReplyDeleteMy fourth tip is a style and care tip in one! In Summer evenings I like to have lots of tousled curls tumbling down my back. However I worry that daytime sun dries hair out and am reluctant to add to that damage by adding heat via curling tongs. So during the day I suggest spritzing hair with a heat protectant spray, then twisting sections of hair and securing them via Bobby pins. The heat protector spray will add some defence from the sun and by the evening when the pins are taken out, you have a cascade of curls! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you are holidaying abroad I also advise having any hair cuts and dye jobs on your return. Often a few days of sunbathing can leave hair feeling wilted and it's better to save that long sought after bob for your return when you can spend time using deep conditioners to keep it shiny and healthy.
ReplyDeleteMy sixth tip (I love John frieda lol) is to prepare your hair for Summer sun a month or two in advance by eating a good multivitamin. Perfectil is a great one, as is hair sublim. Eating foods such as avocadoes and spinach can give hair a real oomph too. Iron rich and protein is the way to go! I am a big fan of conditioning treatments but must concede that nourishing from the inside is a better idea :)
