Styling, overwashing and ageing can all cause your hair to look worse for wear, but many people may not realise the impact the sun has on it.
Luckily, experts have shared tips on how to stop your locks looking "frizzy and brittle" as temperatures soar across the UK.
One thing that is easy to forget, but important as the temperature increases, is to use sun-protecting products.
“Looking after your hair in the warmer months ahead is hugely important if you want to reduce the appearance of frizz and brittle-looking hair," a spokesperson for Fresha said.

"It’s time to start making conscious decisions about protecting your hair against harsh UV rays.
"Intense UV rays can also significantly damage your hair and scalp. A badly sunburnt scalp can result in typical symptoms of sun poisoning, such as headaches and nausea.
"To prevent this, it is essential to use scalp suncream when working on your tan over the next few months. Wearing a hat in the warm weather will also effectively protect your hair and scalp from any nasty sun damage."
As well as keeping your hair and scalp covered, the experts advised adding hydrating products into your routine.
They added: "After-sun shampoo products are also essential to pack with you on holiday this summer. The products contain UV filters, which aid rehydration after sun exposure, making them a necessary part of your summer hair-care routine.
"Various UV sprays are also hugely beneficial to try out this summer. The leave-in product protects hair from harmful sun exposure, maintaining healthy-looking hair in warmer weather."
Another way to ensure your hair looks hydrated and healthy this summer is to target it from the inside out. The experts explained this can mean drinking plenty of water.
"Prioritising your hair care routine this summer is essential, as it’s not just your skin that can be affected by sun damage in the warmer months ahead.
