Here are a few tips and tricks to keep your hair looking fab all summer long!

Work with nature not against it. Embrace your curls or rock your straight tresses. Over styling combined with sun, heat and chlorine can wreck havoc on your hair. Go with what you’ve got. Let your hair air dry whenever possible and keep your showers tepid. (Hot water is not good for your skin either).

If you are curly you need to protect against frizz as well as defining your curls, we suggest: Korres Bamboo Styling Cream for Curly Hair.

If you are straight you need a lightweight serum for shine: Oscar Blandi Olio di Jasmine Hair Serum. It protects against splitting and adds lightweight shine.

Most likely you’ll be exposed to wind, salt and chlorine. Before going into the pool, wet hair first with tap water. Hair will only absorb so much water, so if you go in wet you’ll absorb less chlorine. For salt and wind spray hair with a daily leave-in conditioner. The lightest weight possible. We love Alterna Hemp with Organics Leave In Conditioner.

Protect hair from UV rays. You’re color will last longer, your hair won’t get dried out, and you’ll have less chance for damage. Spray it on a few minutes before going out into the sun, (just like sunscreen). Try: Oscar Blandi Capri Sun Shield Spray, or Quintessence Q-Sunshade Leave In Hair Conditioner and Scalp Protectant SPF 30.
