Glossy, healthy hair and glowing skin will always be in style – and with many of us enjoying a historic heatwave, you may be thinking how best to protect your hair and boost your skin's radiance this summer.
Prolonged exposure to UVA and UVB rays damages the hair cuticle, triggering discoloration, dryness, split ends, and dreaded frizz, so it's wise to consider some hair-strengthening hacks to defend against heat and environmental damage.
Easy tips include turning down the temperature on shower water and hair tools, wearing a hat when outside and effectively cleansing hair after contact with chlorine or saltwater. But have you also considered strengthening your hair from the inside out – and in turn getting plump, glowing skin and healthy nails?

How collagen supplements can help your hair, skin and nails
Collagen is a protein naturally found in our bodies, responsible for the structure of our skin, hair and nails. Creating the plumpness and firmness in our complexion, natural collagen production depletes with age, causing fine lines and a loss of elasticity and thinning, weaker hair and nails.
To counteract the effect of ageing and bolster your hair to be stronger in the sun, it is recommended to increase your collagen intake. Adding a daily supplement will strengthen strands, reduce hair fall, boost hair growth and promote a healthy and balanced scalp. There are also the added benefits of reducing wrinkles and pigmentation, improving skin hydration, plumpness and elasticity and adding a youthful radiance – a true multitasker!
New to their range of popular daily drinkable shots, the experts at Gold Collagen have created Forte Plus to treat the key concerns of women aged 40 and above to provide your recommended dose of vitamins and minerals in one easy and delicious hit.
As their strongest formula to date, Forte Plus promises to boost collagen production and support natural hair growth and strength, also providing immunity support for the healthy function of your heart. Liquid supplements are also proven to offer better absorption and results than their powder alternatives.
Enriched with rocket extract to stimulate the hair bulb to support natural hair growth, and biotin to maintain the condition of healthy hair, Forte Plus will also boost skin's natural radiance to give you a youthful glow. It comes with the added benefits of maintaining hair pigmentation so you’re less susceptible to colour fade, too and is available in a refreshing peach and lychee flavour.
