Top Ways to Repair Hair from Summer Damage
- Replace lost moisture -- Dry hair is the number one issue we face come September. Hair can not repair itself so we have to put back in what the sun has taken out. If your hair feels dry and even crunchy, we recommend using an intense hydrating mask. You may use this once a week after you shampoo.
- Add life to your color -- Salt, sun and chlorine are what causes certain colors (mostly blondes and redheads) to turn brassy. In order to restore your hair color to it's former glory, go for a gloss or glaze treatment. They are less expensive than getting full color and will restore the tone of your original hue while adding shine. Once your color is repaired, use color protecting shampoos and conditioner and always apply a UV blocking styling product before heading outdoors.
- Minimize Frizz -- If your hair seems frizzier now than it did when summer started, we recommend swapping your regular styling products for a straightening cream, even if you don't straighten your hair. They are designed to fill in the hair's cuticle so that it looks smoother.
- Treat areas that need to be treated -- This may seem like a no brainer, but many women complain that moisturizing conditioners weigh their hair down, so remember, if your hair is fine or tends to lay flat on top, only apply conditioning treatments from your mid shaft to your ends. Generally hair is not dry at the roots, so you can skip this area.
- Use swimmer's shampoos in moderation -- Swimmer's shampoos are designed to break down chlorine, which is great, but they can be extremely drying to hair. Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner on the days you don't use the swimmer's shampoo. If you swim regularly and have blonde hair, use a swimmer's shampoo twice a week. If you're brunette, you'll likely only need to use it once a week.
- Look for moisture-infusing ingredients -- Air conditioning and sun exposure can suck the moisture out of hair. In order to hydrate it, use Panthenol and Vitamin E. Products containing these ingredients will add moisture, protect hair from heat styling and make hair more elastic so it's less prone to breakage.
- Trim split ends -- Split ends can be caused by alot of variables, including heat styling, which we all do more and more. The only way to get rid of split ends is to trim them off or they'll continue to split.
- Rinse with cool water -- Rinsing with cool water seals the cuticle. Doing this after every cleansing will help make the cuticle lay a bit flatter so hair looks shiny and healthy.
