The hairstylists favourite, the original and yes, still the best. To add an instant tousled, salty matte effect - this makes anyones hair better - beach-bound and beyond.
Great to treat your hair after a day or two of too much sunbathing. Your hair needs aftersun too, and this Liz Earle treatment will take any frazzle down nicely.

The matte texture and super-loose effect is what makes it so holiday-friendly. Prep hair first with plenty of salt spray, back-brush a little, then plait loosely, pull apart even more, and seal the ends with hairspray and nothing more. If it comes loose all the better.
Chuck it in your beach bag, spritz it on when you get out of the sea, go for lunch, get out the shower at the end of the day. This deeply nourishing leave in conditioner will save your hair and your style daily. Definitely necessary
Just the right size for a week away, and everything you need to protect your hair from the sun. Conditioning, protective, shine enhancing, bargainous, love.

For those who want volume and tousle with slightly more control you need to protect your styling efforts. You've packed your tongs, you've spent an hour curling your hair, don't let your work go to waste. This has serious hold without anyone noticing, so your efforts will still look effortless.
A protective styling product that adds shine to your hair at the same time as SPFing it up. Best for dryer hair types, you'll want to keep it up back home too
