Summer may have been a bit of a let down for the Melbournites amongst us, but it seems the rest of the country is still enjoying the sunshine (the lucky things)! Whether you’re one of the lucky ones, or living in abnormally chilly Melbourne, absorb this information for your next beach trip – or holiday – I know I’ll need one to make up this this non-Summer!
Give me a hairstyle, any hairstyle; I’ve tried them all. From thick tight plaits to a single bun, a day at the beach and in the waves will always turn my hair into a mangled mess, once requiring half a bottle of conditioner to untangle. Thankfully, those days can be a distant memory with De Lorenzo ET Instant Detangle ($20.95), which works within seconds. Definitely one for the beach bag.
De Lorenzo ET Absorb ($17.95). Lightly scented with the range’s signature cherry blossom fragrance, Absorb is a fantastically effective dry shampoo, without the residual white powder that some other brands can leave. A little more expensive than your average pharmacy brand, but worth it for a highly effective salon product that’s Australian made and owned.
A beach-side address is no longer needed for beach babe tresses. The effects of the salty surf can be produced with a few spritzes of Fudge Urbans’s Sea Salt Spray. Either apply to damp hair and ‘scrunch’ while blowdrying with a diffuser head for a long-lasting style or spray and tousle into dry strands to reinvigorate some kink.
Summer beauty is all about quick and easy fixes, so you’re lucky if you can find the time (or can be bothered) with letting a thick hair mask do its magic. By opting for a light, leave in hydrating spray like Unico’s Leave In Conditioner ($23) you’ll not only deeply moisturise your hair, but give it extra shine too – while giving you more gelato licking time!
