SUMMER READY YOUR HAIR ROUTINE
10:01 AMSummer is wonderful. It's the time for soaking up rays, boating trips galore and poolside weekends. By this time, you've most likely changed up your skin routine for the warm months, but have you updated your hair regimen as well? Here's a few tips to help protect your hair's color and vibrancy...not to mention, restore moisture and minimize frizz to extend your blowout for those hot, humid Southern nights.
PROTECT YOUR COLOR & VIBRANCY
Did you know that your hair needs protection from UV rays just like your skin? It's true! The sun can dry out hair and damage it's elasticity. And that's just the sun, not even the chlorine you might be swimming in daily. Chlorine is another monster all on it's own. It strips the sheen out of hair and can even change the color if not rinsed out throughly. We recommend the following if you have color-treated hair:
1: Shampoo & Conditioner with Kerastase Bain Chroma Captive and Fondant Chroma Captive. Along with being sulfate-free, this duo preserves color depth and shine and offers UV protection.
2: Cover up with a head scarf like this one from J.Crew to avoid color fade.
3: Style with Bumble and bumble Color-Minded Styling Balm. Work through wet hair before blow-drying for added protection, or use it to coat your hair before jumping into pools/oceans/lakes.
4: Spray Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Primer on wet hair to detangle and soften. It boasts 6 featherlight oils that work together to tame flyways, reduce frizz and protect hair against breakage, heat-styling and UV rays.
5: When all else fails, throw on a hat. We love this straw one from H&M.
RESTORE MOISTURE
Wind, sun and salt...you name it; it's all drying your hair out. Try the following to replace needed moisture:
1: Bumble and bumble Quenching Conditioner is for the (terribly) thirsty. It's not quite as heavy as a masque, so feel free to use it daily!
2: Once a week, treat your hair with Shu Uemura Moisture Velvet Masque, leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse out.
3: Kerastsae Elixir Ultime Moringa can be used on wet or dry hair to replenish ends and seal the cuticle.
FIGHT FRIZZ
Hot summer nights are perfect for dinner parties and dancing underneath the stars...but they're not ideal for your blowout. Help keep frizz at bay using the following:
1: The Mason Pearson Rake Comb glides through hair to help detangle without ruffing up or breaking hair.
2: Shu Uemura Essence Absolue aids in naturally balancing the moisture of hair, which in turn leaves it shinier, smoother and less frizzy.
3: Kerastsae Laque Noire is THE summer hairspray. It's basically an anti-humidity shield with super strong staying power.
