While
matte may be back, as far as the catwalk is concerned – most of us want healthy, shiny hair with lots of bounce and vitality.
Blondes always have more fun in the summer, as the sun highlights and reflects their hair making it stand out and look extra desirable. If you're brunette or red head however, it's best to play up the shine, for sexy, healthy looking locks.
I spoke with leading hair expert and trichologist
Philip Kingsley about the best ways to protect your hair in the sun, to maximise shine.
What with Reading and Leeds festivals this weekend, as well as various London events like Notting Hill Carnival and Get Loaded in the Park, there was a lot of
festival chic going on, beauty-wise.
I adore Daisy Lowe's flower-strewn hair, at the Clapham, Get Loaded in The Park event, while Kate Moss went for a
twisted, half up, half down do, again, at Reading.
All this laid back loveliness has got me thinking about the key to cool festival hair.
Charlize Theron never fails to wow me with her beauty – I get the impression that she must be truly breathtaking in person.
At the premiere of Hancock, with Will Smith, in Tokyo, yesterday, she was certainly working the trends.

The judges on BBC innovation show Dragons' Den have clearly never had knotted hair. Shaun Pulfrey went on Dragons' Den to gain investment in his 'Tangle Teezer' product asking for £85,000 investment in exchange for a 15 per cent stake. The judges dismissed his idea saying that his idea 'was not a business'.
However, now Shaun P's 10 month turnover for the product (which is
available online) has been £800,000 making him a profit of £200,000.
Rachel McAdams is a great example of how your hair colour can completely change your look. She is most familiar to me for her role as Regina George in 'Mean Girls' but I almost don't recognise her when she has dark hair. She has starred in many films since Mean Girls (of course) and is now out to promote
The Lucky Ones.
She spoke to the
New York Times about her ever changing hair colour: It’s a compulsion: I’m always changing parts of me.
