PRICE DRISCOLL: YOUR TICKET TO HEALTHY, HYDRATED HAIR THIS SUMMER
We spoke to Ben Driscoll-Price, award winning Editorial Director from Price Driscoll Salon in Bristol on his top tips to keeping your hair happy, healthy, and hydrated in the summer.
Hydrated hair is healthy hair! Keeping the hair hydrated is essential throughout the year, but especially in the summer months. It’s softer, healthier, and less prone to breakage. The sun can drain your hair of any moisture, as it causes the cuticle of the hair strand to lift. This results in the moisture not being able to seep into the hair, leaving the hair can be left feeling frizzy, dry, and dehydrated. To add moisture back into your hair, we’d recommend investing in a shampoo and conditioner that have been specifically designed for hydration. Look for products that contain ingredients, such as Argan oil, Avocado oil, and Vitamin E to revitalise the hair.
Top salon Recommendation: KMS Moisture Repair Revival Crème
It’s a lightweight crème that replenishes moisture and repairs damage, instantly improves manageability, and adds body to the hair. This product is great for revitalising damaged hair and helping to restore the hair’s natural protective coating.
UV
It’s not only your skin that can suffer from the effects of the sun, but harmful UV rays can penetrate the protective barrier around your hair, which can result in dehydrated, dull, damaged hair. This means the hair is more prone to breakage, dryness, fizziness, and a brittle texture. We all want to be outside as much as possible in the summer, but if you’re spending an extended period in the sun, we’d recommend covering up as much as possible. Another recommendation is staying out the sun at the hottest times of the day, and to cover your hair with a cap or sunhat.
Top salon Recommendation: Oribe Invisible Defence Protection Spray
It’s a weightless mist that acts as a heat styling protectant and protects the hair from UV rays and pollution.

For Blondes, We’d Recommend: Davines Heart of Glass Sheer Glaze
A brightening thermal leave-on fluid which provides hydration, shine, and heat protection to look after your hair on sunny days! The extra vitamin D may be good for your body, but your hair will end up suffering.
Swimming And Chlorine
Relaxing in the pool is one of everyone’s favourite holiday activities, but did you know that swimming can wreak havoc on your hair? Chlorine doesn’t only turn lightened hair green; it also weakens the hair’s structure, which leaves the hair more prone to breakage and split ends. To combat this, we’d recommend wetting and conditioning the hair before going for a dip, to offset the damaging effects of chlorine. If you’re planning on spending all day in the pool, we’d recommend investing in a swimming cap and investing in a shampoo and conditioner that is specifically designed for swimming, to protect your hair and replenish as much moisture in the hair as possible!
