Prep Your Locks For The Long Weekend With These Simple Steps

Brought to you by TRESemmé The bank holiday weekend is finally here. Three days of fun mean we all want dreamy hair á la Blake Lively and that's why we've sought out a few tips and tricks to look after your locks. Go forth and preen. Touchably Soft Applying a weekly mask is a highly recommended hair habit. When you're doing this once a week, you should notice a difference in the shine, strength, and texture of your hair and you won't have to work quite as hard to pamper it when it comes to an occasion. Cleansing is key A really quick way to transform your mane is to use a clarifying shampoo. This will cleanse your hair of any product build up, leaving it smooth and ready for blow-drying, back-combing, curling and straightening during bank holiday weekend fun. Alternatively, you could give 'Reverse the Routine' a go. Coined as the new way to wash your hair, TRESemmé has introduced a Pre-Wash conditioner which you apply to your hair before shampooing. It removes residue and adds volume, ideal if you're planning big bouncy locks. Eat well Obviously, eating well is recommended all the time but to give your hair added nourishment, stock up on these foods. Iron is key for growth so up your intake of leafy greens, wholegrains, and red meat. Protein promotes cell regeneration which helps achieve healthy hair so make sure you're getting your fill of fish, chicken, and eggs. Almonds, when eaten in moderation, are a great snack source as they restore melanin and nourish your hair. Oil it up Hair oil is having a moment at present and the best thing is, it's probably sitting at home in your kitchen press. Grab some olive or coconut oil, apply to your locks for half an hour (or overnight if your locks need major TLC), shampoo and condition as normal and you should see a noticeable change in the sheen of your hair.
