Simple tricks and treatments for luscious locks this summer

Scalp scrub

Keeping your scalp healthy is essential for hair growth, and using a deep-cleansing scrub once a week, like Vita Coco Coconut & Guava Scrub Scalp, £12.99, vitacoco.co.uk, is brilliant for taking away excess grease, grime and flaky patches. Apply it directly onto your scalp (adding a squidge of shampoo when your hair is damp can help to distribute the product more evenly), and gently massage in with your fingers. Rinse, then follow with conditioner and healthier hair growth should come through over time.

Body builder

Turn up the volume on fine, flat hair with a treatment designed to target individual strands. The Inkey List Peptide Volumizing Hair Treatment, £9.99, cultbeauty.co.uk, contains plumping ingredients that enhance thickness and create body without weighing the hair down. Use it like a serum or oil and apply to just-washed, damp hair before styling for thicker, fuller hair.
