Apply a leave-in treatment before swimming, suggests Oscar. “This will help to seal the cuticle and protect the hair from chemicals while swimming.”

“A great clarifying shampoo will help to remove build-up such as styling products, chlorine and salt, keeping your hair light and fresh for summer,” says Oscar.

Braiding isn't just an on-trend hairstyle, it's an effective way to protect your hair too. “For days when you are outdoors a braid is a good way to protect your hair from the sun, salt and wind,” says Oscar.

“Invest in a great at-home treatment to restore moisture and protein to your hair and keep it strong during summer,” says Oscar. “Remember to towel dry your hair before your treatment so it absorbs into the cuticle more effectively.”

Ask your hairdresser for a clear glossing treatment, says Oscar. “It will give your hair the same incredible shine you get when you colour your hair, but without the pigment. Perfect for in-between colour appointments to keep your hair looking it’s best during the busy summer social season.”
