Summertime!

I can feel the warm sun already can’t you?

So here’s the thing, an once of prevention is worth is weight in gold when it comes to your hair. So lets avoid tattered hair during and after summers end.

We all love to be carefree and throw caution to the wind as it were. Especially when it comes to summer holidays.

Great Summer Hair

Oddly we (The Royal We) believe that putting off for tomorrow is something they deserve. This approach is not a good idea when it comes to our hair.

Instead of throwing caution to the wind, howabout we throw it in another direction?

Here are some handy tips and tricks that will help you create great hair all summer long!

  1. Get a cut before summer, and make it a regular thing. We all have our breaking points and so does your hair. Your hair wears out from repeated washing, brushing, even sleeping on it. It’s an organic source and if it gets repeated abuse it will break and or fray (commonly known as split ends)
  2. Condition, condition, condition! Since summer means, sun, surf, and lots of outdoor activities, then slather that stuff on and protect. Just as you are using sunscreen for the rest of your body.
  3. Get a conditioning treatment before the good times begin to give your hair a leg up as it were, especially if you have colored hair. (I have a great one at the salon! )
  4. Don’t forget to get a trim mid-summer! Your hair feels so good after.
  5. Obvious one, wear a hat! Protects your hair but also your precious skin on your head. There are some fun hats out there.
  6. Put a clear non-ammonia color over your hair for added protection and to prevent hair color from fading also. It does not change your color but will make it last the summer without those crazy faded out ends.
  7. If  you are planning a beach trip,  When you get out of the shower instead of rinsing the conditioner out of your hair, leave it in. Then wear a hat over or style in a wet type style for your hair, such as braids, that way, when you get home after a beach day and shower you will only need to rinse. Your hair will be in great shape, because it will be like a spa treatment instead of dried out hair.

I am all about prevention. A little prevention saves your hair , and you from needing to get more cut at the summers end.

I hope these tips and tricks find you well and that you have a happy safe summer. See you in the chair!
