Summer in Suwanee is here and with it comes the challenge of keeping your hair healthy and fabulous! Here are some tips for keeping your mane strong and vibrant in this season of fun in the sun:
We all love the golden glow of summer skin, but all those rays can do a number on your hair. Just like you protect your skin protect your hair! Excess sun can cause dryness, split ends, breakage, brittle strands and turn your beautiful highlights dull. Add to that the chlorine from the pool, excess shampoos to rinse out the chlorine, high-heat tools for achieving your summer waves, and you have a recipe for limp, frizzy and broken hair. Consider adding these three items to your summer regimen for fabulous hair all summer long: ColorProof ClearItUp Detox Shampoo is gentle and safe for removing excess build-up while maintaining your summer highlights! Follow with a hydration treatment like Moraccanoil’s Weightless Hydrating Mask, which adds moisture and strength without leaving your hair heavy and weighed down. Lastly, protect your hair like you do your skin! Try ColorProof’s Humidity RX! The revolutionary water repelling polymers protect your hair strands against the elements of humidity, protecting your style.
Do the #frizzyhairprobs have you sad and sporting the forever pony? Ditch the pony and embrace free-flowing hair! Consider a Keratherapy Keratin Treatment. Unlike amino acid based treatments, which strip your hair of the bonds that give it its natural texture, damaging and drying out your hair, Keratin Infusion Treatments are designed to restore your hair’s health by adding natural proteins to your strands. They are safe for color treated hair, improve curl manageability, and significantly reduce frizz and speed up your drying time. The best part, they give you better results for at-home styling! With solutions that target fine OR thick hair, straight OR curly, and short OR long-term options, Keratherapy has something for everyone, including Vegan Formaldehyde Free options for those who are expecting or health-conscious.
Lastly, every fabulous girl needs a go-to summer style that is quick and easy. Try the Va-Va-Va Pony or Braid! This style lets you use your natural texture to bring some summer pizzazz to your look. After washing and drying your hair (work that natural wave), simply add a texturing spray like Fave4’s Texture Takeover, and scrunch your hair to work it in. Tease at the crown and front of your head and gently pull the sides back into a pony above the nap of your neck, or higher if you so dare! Then, simply fluff out the pony or braid it into a super-textured braid or fishtail for an awesome effect that is chic yet easy. For more oomph add in a pretty headband or sparkly clips to tuck fly-aways in their place.
