Sun spray bandana

sun screen,hair care Kerastase soleil \'My desert island products would be Kérastase Soleil Voile Protecteur, £15 (0800 316 4400) which provides great protection for the hair against sun, sand and sea-water. The spray can be used constantly during the day on damp or dry hair and makes it feel really soft and moisturised. Also Kérastase Bain Après-Soleil, an after-sun shampoo, £11, as I cannot stand having dirty hair!\'

Fight frizzies

hair care,frizzy hair Regis Silk Drops Repair & Shine Serum \'The multipurpose Regis designLINE Silk Drops Repair & Shine Serum, £9.85 (0845 604 1133) repairs, conditions and moisturises my naturally curly hair, plus it\'s humidity resistant, so my style stays put. I recommend using it on wet and dry hair, to define and separate curls, keeping them frizz-free and adding instant shine.\'
Julie-Anne Rackham, Regis Artistic Director

Sun care for hair

sun screen,hair care,Wella Wella Anti-Ray Lotion \'My holiday hair essential is the Anti-Ray Lotion, £10.95 (www.salonfinder.co.uk) from the Wella System Professional Sunshine Range. Its Factor 15 protection cares for the hair and scalp, and it works as a styling gel too. During the day, I apply the lotion by putting a small amount on the fingers and running it through my hair for a sleek, smooth, slicked-back look. For the evening, I use it sparingly to create texture. Always remember to rough-dry hair first, to 70-80% dry, before applying, to avoid diluting the product.

Oh-so-soft soufflé

hair styling,hair care Label m Souffle \'Label m Soufflé, £9.95 (www.essensuals.co.uk) is a must-have for holidays. It\'s a great product to nourish and moisturise my hair after a day in the sun. It also has a great fragrance as it\'s packed full of avocado, Barbados cherry and olive. Use the Soufflé on dry or damp hair and work through to create a soft finish.\'
Beverly C, Essensuals International Creative Director

Sunshine screen

hair care,Charles Worthington Charles Worthington Take Aways \'My desert island favourite would be Charles Worthington Take Aways Sun-Shine Sun Screen UV-Protection Spray, £1.65 (available nationwide). I love it because it protects coloured hair when in the sun and keeps it shiny and in fantastic condition. Once you\'ve styled your hair, hold the spray at arm\'s length and then spritz all over. If you\'re swimming a lot and being in the sun, you need to apply this regularly. I reapply this sunscreen to my hair every time I reapply sun protection on my skin; this way I never forget and it really helps in preventing parched locks.\'
Carolyn Newman, Colour Director, Charles Worthington

Do the twist

hair styling,hair care Clynol Construct Moulding Clay \'I absolutely can\'t do without Clynol\'s Construct Moulding Clay, £8.10 (www.clynol.com) designed to give great hold and texture. Work it into the hair by twisting it into the lengths and massaging into the roots. Allow hair to dry naturally – there\'d be no hairdryer on a desert island! Once dry, shake hair out for a really tousled finish. The clay creates a product-free illusion; the hair just has masses of texture. Revitalise the clay\'s properties by dampening down and restyling the hair after a day\'s sun worshipping or sightseeing.\'
Charlotte Murray, session stylist to the stars

Relax those tresses

hair styling,hair care Kerastase Serum Oleo Relax \'My summer essential is Kérastase Serum Oléo Relax £14.80 (0800 316 4400). It\'s fantastic for leaving hair incredibly soft and shiny and for producing natural beach-goddess hair looks. Relay Serum helps to combat frizz and fluff, making it ideally suited to a humid climate, exotic holidays or even being stranded on a desert island!\'
Kathryn Longmuir, British Hairdressing Hall of Fame member, for Ishoka, Scotland

Lifeguard for locks

hair care,Schwarzkopf Schwartzkoph Professional Guardian \'I like products with a dual function as it saves on packing. Schwarzkopf Professional BC Sun Guardian Hair & Body Shampoo, £7, (www.schwarzkopf-professional.co.uk) has a gel formula that not only packs moisture into the hair but it also safeguards hair and scalp against the elements. It doubles as a body wash and smells divine.\'
Charlie Taylor, Scottish Hairdresser of the Year, 2005

Light as air

hair care,Aveda Aveda Air Control \'Aveda\'s Air Control Hairspray, £14.50 (www.aveda.com), is fab; it\'s light and gives the hair hold that you can work with. It can be brushed through with ease so looks can be updated as the day unfolds.\'
Antoinette Beenders, Global Creative Director for Aveda

Colour care

hair care,Redken Redken Cleansing Cream \'Hair Cleansing Cream by Redken, £8.95 (0800 444880) is superb for removing chlorine, salt water and product build-up on the hair, whilst protecting any colour work. I just wash and shampoo hair as normal or apply it to dry hair and leave it on for five minutes, then rinse and shampoo again. This gives the hair a really deep cleanse and leaves it looking glossy and shiny.\'
Rae Palmer for Rae Palmer Hairdressing, Southsea, Hants
