Very dry hair and on the seaside- tips needed

11 replies

LiberteEgaliteBeyonce · 13/07/2023 20:25

Hello all,
I have recently 2 sets of highlights done within 10 days (the second set being a rescue operation from the indescribable mess the first set was).
I have had my hair cut (a good inch off) as it was a tad dry but now I am on hols in Greece and my hair is as dry as can be. I have avoided getting it in the water (pool or sea) but it is nonetheless desperately dry.

I have just bought some hair oil to help but would welcome your tips to get them back to some level of normality after the holidays. I am normally based on the UK and I am a highlighted blonde.
TIA!

Sleep in conditioner maybe

Leave in your conditioner every morning after wetting your hair

Use the Garnier banana leave in hair mask

This stuff is actual magic. My daughter's hair is waist-length and was often a dry frizzy mess that took hours to brush before she started using this product. It's a leave-in conditioner and makes hair soft and glossy after just 1 use. (Pic attached)

Aveda damage control and hair sunblock range. Uv is awful for hair.

Good point. Will see if I can find some UV protection product.

Thank you all. In the meantime I will try sleeping with the conditioner until I get back to the UK.
I am grateful for your advice Smile

Redken CAT is good for repair. The mask has really helped my hair and I’m repurchasing this. Redken One united leave in conditioner also good plus hair oil. I use a L’Oréal Professional one but most of them are good.

Tie your hair back during the day preferably in a scarf wrapped over and hat otherwise.

if there’s a spa then get a hair mask or ripe acid ask and do a steam room and sauna treatment with it on.

I’d also go to the hotel hairdresser or one in the nearest town or city and ask them to do a deep conditioning treatment on my hair and see if they recommend anything. Korres might do a hair care range and is fairly cheap in Greece.

Apparently mayonnaise is a good rescue, leave in 15mins
Goodness knows why that works!

I like avons hair serum for when you get home
