Summer hair care, are you dry??

After hearing my clients and friends telling me of there dry hair woes many times in the past 2 weeks, I realized this topic should be addressed, especially for these Texas folks!

Summer weather, along with the increase in outdoor and water activities, makes for dry and dull hair.

I have my own trusted tips and combined them with Pureology's rescue advice for some powerful words. Read on, and do as instructed if you want results. I promise and cross my heart it will work!!

-Perform deep repair treatments once or twice a week to protect and repair sun-damaged hair.

-Heading to the beach or the pool? Don't rinse out your conditioner all of the way. Leave conditioner in hair for maximum protection and extra moisturizing benefits.

-Thoroughly wet your hair before getting into the water at the pool or beach. This will help avoid absorption of pool or ocean water. For even more protection, spray your hair with a product offering UVA/UVB protection.

-After swimming in the pool or ocean, shampoo hair with Purify Shampoo® to clarify hair of colour-damaging chemicals and salt. (Any clarifying shampoo will work, theirs IS lovely however)

-Minimize breakage and gently detangle by using a detangling/conditioning product and combing with a wide-tooth comb.

-Try to cut down on blow drying time. Let hair dry naturally a few days per week to preserve moisture levels. Use a leave in conditioner alone, or in addition to other products.

-To fight frizzies, you should always (and should anyways) put something in your hair before you blowdry. (cream styler, leave in repair, light gel, etc)

-Hair dries out in the summer so be sure to have your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks and schedule a professional Summer Hair Revitalizer Treatment with your stylist to help prevent split ends.
