Reviving your precious summer tresses
When it comes to keeping those precious tresses shiny and hydrated for the summer, treating your locks can become a little tedious. You may think you’ve run out of options and tried every product in the book to help; however, your hair is still suffering from dryness, UV-rays, and never ending split ends. Lifestyle expert Karina Reske tells us about a few essential hair care products to ensure your hair stays healthy and moisturized throughout the summer months!Tips on How to Revive your Summer Hair:
• Try to avoid heat styling with curling irons or straighteners. However, if you do use these styling tools, apply a UV protectant spray to guard your hair against heat and harmful UV rays.
• Take the summer off from touching up highlights if possible and let the sun do the job naturally. If you want an extra boost of brightening, try using products such as lemon or even some bottled beer to get the job done.
• Double your hydrating treatment regimen in summer months. The hotter it gets, the more your locks will be begging for moisture.
• Cut down your wash days to twice a week. For more hydration, apply dry shampoo at night so your hair can absorb oil as you sleep.
• Use deep conditioner at least once a week to retain moisture.
• In order to avoid dryness, try DIY hair masks with ingredients you may already have at home such as Avocado Coconut Oil Honey, Olive Oil Honey, Banana Honey Yogurt, or Coconut Oil.
• Be gentle and avoid brushes with plastic bristles; you want to use hair brushes with boar bristles, which is why The Wet Brush is such an essential to have.TODAY’S PRODUCTS:Marc Anthony Dream Waves Beach Spray
