Gym Proof Your Hair

"Working up a sweat at the gym does wonders for your figure but it can cause havoc with your hair, making it frizzy, dry and lifeless" advises Mary Olander, Salon Director at Mojo Hair. "Give your hair a serious detox; protect and nourish it with these professional hair care products."

• Don't over do the shampooing. Shampoo only when dirty. I like Tea Tree Special Shampoo an invigorating cleanser with Tea Tree Oil leaving your scalp tingling and full of vitality. With its refreshing fragrance it's just the thing after an invigorating session in the gym.
• Condition. Condition. Condition. Use a high quality product such as Paul Mitchell Hair Repair Treatment regularly.
• Never brush wet or damp hair. Use a wide toothed comb.
• Always use a thermal protector when using hair dryers, smoothing irons and other heated appliances - we're getting great results with Seal and Shine in the salon. And remember to blow dry on the "cool" setting or use a diffuser.
• Low-calorie diets can deprive you of some of the most important nutrients for healthy hair, including omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin A. In addition to stunting hair growth and leading to dullness, super-low calorie plans may even cause hair loss. So, eat a healthy hair diet. Make sure it includes high quality protein rich foods such as chicken, fish, and eggs and foods rich in essential fatty acids like oily fish, nuts and seeds.
• Protect hair from UV damage if you're jetting off to exotic resorts. Use products with sunscreen protector and shield your locks with a hat or scarf.
• Rinse away salt and chlorine after swimming - they make your hair dry and brittle. Try Paul Mitchell Shampoo 3 especially formulated to remove chlorine and prevent the green tinge that regular swimming can cause for blonds.
• Finally, to maintain shape and keep those split ends at bay have your hair regularly trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks.
