Sam's 5 top summer hair secrets

Tip 1: Before swimming in salt water or chlorinated pools douse your hair with fresh water. Your hair is like a sponge, it can only absorb so much. And always rinse your hair after a swim in the pool - chlorine can be very dehydrating plus it can have adverse effects on colour.

Tip 2: Protect and nourish your hair when poolside - coat your hair with Happy Endings Nourishing Balm before twisting in a sleek chignon or braids.

Tip 3: Think ahead about styles that go from beach to party. Use my tip above and then braid hair tightly, one on each side. Leave all day - the longer the better. Just before heading out undo your braids and for instant volume mist Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist.

Tip 4: I love the hair texture after a day at the beach, a little left over sun cream has sunk in and mixed with the texture the sea has imparted – it’s tousled and defined. But sometimes a little greasy around the hairline and your fringe will need a fix! My Lazy Girl Biodegradable Hair Cleanse Cloths are perfect for reviving lacklustre holiday hair - a quick sweep will rescue instantly.

Tip 5: For a real Bardot feel, mist Easy Up-Do Texture Spray at the crown and gently back comb.
