6 tricks to keeping your hair healthy this summer!

Most of my clients go lighter during summer so I am always preaching these 6 tricks to keep their hair in good shape! I have linked all of my favorite hair products / supplements so enjoy!

1. One of the most important products to use through the summer is a heat protectant. My favorites are 7 seconds by UNITE, Run Through detangler or Balm d'Or both by Oribe. These products have heat and UV protectants. Use these on wet hair before you blow dry to protect and moisturize your hair.

2. Going for a swim? Before getting in the pool or ocean get your hair wet with your house water. The easiest way to do this on the go is to fill up a spray bottle of water to carry with you.

Spray your hair until its damp and comb through. Your hair is like a sponge, it will absorb liquids when it's dry. Maybe even work in a light conditioner. The more nutrition your hair eats up the better!

Going under water with already wet/ conditioned hair will eliminate the chlorine, salt, and other harsh chemicals from absorbing into your hair cuticle.

3. Deep conditioning mask once a month! Most clients think masks and treatments are a joke but they work so well and show immediate improvements. I have brought my hair back from disparity many times. My favorites are Signature moisture masque by Oribe or

If you really need some help the Gold lust transformative masque also by Oribe. Both amazing!! A less expensive option would be the 7 seconds masque by UNITE that I also have used and loved the results.

4. Air dry! Summer is a good time to skip the blowdry and the added heat styling. I never blowdry and style my hair on my days off. It gives my hair a good break! FAVE4 has a great blow dry cream that is light and will control your natural hair called Up For Air

5. Add Olaplex to your formula at the salon every single time you go lighter! This is not a deep conditioning treatment. This is a complex the rebonds your cuticle with protein. Lightener can be very harsh so the olaplex makes it more gentle. The second step seals your cuticle and insures there is no breakage. There is a take home third step that some clients choose to do but this does not substitute your monthly masque! I would personally never lighten my hair without this.

6. Lastly, take your daily dose of biotin! I take my Viviscal professional everyday twice a day! This is a great hair skin and nails supplement that keeps my hair strong,

healthy, and growing!

Hope this helps your girls stay long and stong this summer!!
