Expert hair advice from Stuart Holmes

Going on holiday to catch some much needed sun soon? Our summer has been a wash out, but if you are lucky enough to be heading abroad, don't forget to look after your crowning glory to stop it drying out in the heat. 

We asked Kerrie, Creative Director at The Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa in Cheltenham to share her top tips for summer hair care...

1. Make sure you have regular trims every 6-8 weeks to keep ends looking fresh and not dry and split.

2. Have a conditioning treatment every haircut to replace lost protein and moisture in the hair to allow hair to shine.

3. Buy a good conditioning masque to maintain this conditioning regime at home

4. Make sure you have a great summer shampoo to remove build up of sand sea and sun. These are deep cleansing to remove all impurities after a day on the beach

5. Leave in conditioners are a great way to stop the sun damaging the hair! Most leave-in products have UV protection but check before you buy

6. Coat the hair in treatment and tie up into a stylish chignon ! No one will know!

7. Use accessories to show off your summer look! Add a hairband or a tied scarf to pull hair away from your face on a hot day

8. Try a new colour! Summer is the perfect time to go multi tonal...

9. Ask your stylist what they would do with your hair!! Thats what they are there for.

10. Use a colour support  shampoo to lock colour in all summer long
