How to Beat the Heat

‘Tis that season again! Don’t we all love
being poolside, beachside or just enjoying those long walks in the park? But
what is this weather doing to our poor
luscious locks that we spend so much
time taking care of? If I’ve learned one
thing in my 14 years in this industry,
it’s that the sun is strong. Your hair
might feel great at the beginning of the
summer. If not properly taken care of, it
could feel tragic by the end!
My strongest recommendation is to
invest in a great sun care line. It’s all
about the sunscreen! And yes, I’m talking about for your hair, not just your
skin! UV protection is an absolute must
if you want to maintain the sheen,
softness and flexibility of healthy hair.
The sun can quickly take these away,
leaving you with brittle and dried-out
ends. If you routinely color your hair,
one day in the sun can fade what you
paid so much money for!
product is your only other solution.
Aveda makes an amazing sunscreen,
Sun Care, for your hair that is a dry mist
which you spray on wet or dry hair.
This is the easiest and most efficient
product I’ve found when I know I’m
going to be in the sun for an extended
amount of time. Your goal is to look
for products that specifically say UV
protection. These are most likely found
in heat-styling protective products and
leave-in conditioners.
With the right tools
you can have healthy
hair all summer long!
Happy sunning! n
Hats are definitely the best protection,
but if you are not a hat person then
