If you have coloured hair in this weather then you absolutely need to protect your hair, the sun is not only destroying your hair but reacting with your colour and fading it out which will ruin your look.

Extend Total Recharge makes hair more manageable and gives your hair a lovely shine. It is specifically formulated for coloured hair.

If you use a lot of product in your hair to style it then you should use a styling product which will also helps protect against heat – especially if you are also blow drying your hair.

Thermal Image will hold your hair for long periods of time so you can have any style you want and know your hair is being protected. It’s easy to use and works best when your hair is dry.
