Summer Hair Care

Swimming and over shampooing: are two common causes of arid, fly-away locks, other culprits, can include colorings, permanents, electric curlers, excessive blow-drying, and too much exposure to wind and sun.

Shampoo with care: Shampooing doesn't only wash away dirt, it washes out the hair's protective oils, If you've dried your hair out from too much lather, give your hair a needed break-try washing less often. And use only a mild shampoo, one labeled "for dry or damaged hair."

Prevent static electricity in your hair: When you shampoo by applying a rinse out conditioner that adds moisture and shine. Alternatively apply a "leave-in" conditioner after towel drying hair.

Protect your hair from the elements: "Whipping wind can fray your hair. Wear a hat, both on breezy, balmy summer days, and gusty, frosty winter days.

Hair Dryer use during the summer months: Try and give your hair a break during the summer month. Consider letting your hair air dry for a change.

Swimming and Chlorine: Chlorine is one of the most destructive things to hair; make a rubber cap part of your regular swim attire. For extra protection, first rub a little olive oil into your hair.

Beer is a wonderful setting lotion: It gives a crisp, healthy, shiny look, even to dry hair. Spray the brew onto your hair using a pump bottle after you've shampooed and towel-dried, but before you blow-dry or style. The odor of the beer quickly disappears.
