Hanging out at the beach is a great way to get natural highlights, but don't forget that as the sun bleaches your hair, it is also drying it out. Give your hair a chance to recover by using a conditioning treatment once or twice a week - especially during summer.
Beauty Formulas 60-second instant hair treatment ($19.90) A heavy conditioner with a soapy feel. Weighs the hair down without any noticeable nourishing effect.
Alberto VO5 one-minute wonder intensive treatment ($18.90) Have to apply a large amount to feel any conditioning effect. Leaves hair dry and frizzy. Will make a bad hair day even worse.
Botanics by Boots Deep conditioning mask ($100) This is no one-minute wonder, but if you are prepared to sit it out for five minutes, the results are okay. Better for maintenance than repair.
Crabtree & Evelyn Aloe Vera conditioner ($90)
Creamy conditioner that is mild enough to use every time you wash your hair, but probably best when alternated with your regular conditioner. Great for leaving long hair tangle free.
