Seasoned sun-worshipers will confess that whilst the searing heat may help you reach your tanning goals, it can also do a number on your hair. Fried, dried and dehydrated locks are an unfortunate side effect of hanging poolside, but luckily the damage can be effectively dealt with. ShortList rounds up four of the city’s most seasoned strand whisperers to learn their insider hair repair secrets.

Step 1: Break down your build up
Cat Hawkes, Artistic Director at Marquee, recommends opting for a detox treatment that will exfoliate your scalp and hair to get rid of any residue and build up. “This will act as a clean slate for you to then be able to treat the hair. Products like the Kevin Murphy Maxi Wash, a detoxifying shampoo that contains AHAs (fruit acids), breaks down fatty acids for a clean, clear scalp. The balancing essential oils penetrate the scalp to brighten hair and purify an oily or flaky hairline. It also contains anti pollutant ingredients that remove build-up of unwanted products and chemicals.”
