Five ways to protect and save your hair on ski holiday

Winter is a beast, no, really she is. One that sucks the life out of your hair with temperatures as cold as Kim Kardashian at a Taylor Swift concert.

Your hair may go brittle and snap solid off at the roots, your colour may fade out to oblivion and you could end up with permanent helmet hair, rocking back and forth in the foetal position on your flight home.

Our luscious rapunzel style locks regularly went from sleek to freak in one simple chairlift ride. So we’ve sourced our favourite products to keep both your hair and scalp hydrated because the key to Farrah Fawcett slope side flicks is damage prevention and protection.
