Take this tip before you take a dip!
Protect your
Locks – Summer time means beach & pool days...while you might be having fun
in the sun, your hair isn’t! Unprotected
hair exposed to the elements - chemicals in pool water create havoc on your
locks.
At the bare
minimum: Always saturate your hair with
tap water before you ride the waves or
take a dip…your hair is like a sponge, if its already wet, it won’t be able to
absorb the ocean or pool water that its being exposed to. When done with your swim, rinse!
Next level
of protection: Do you have color-treated
or Keratin Treated hair? If you do, pay
close attention. The salt of the ocean
& chlorine attack your treated hair with a vengeance. You need additional layers of protection. Insider tip: use a spray bottle & Mix 2
parts tap water with 1 part hair conditioner and mix well. After saturating your hair with tap water
from a shower or fountain, wring excess water out of your hair & then
generously spray your cocktail into your hair…if you are going to be in the
water for a long time, you can apply conditioner directly to your hair before
you swim.
Maximum protection: do all of the above but add a sunscreen to
the mix! This will add the benefit of
sun damage protection to your hairs cuticle layer & offer you maximum
protection against the elements.
Is
Short Hair Right For You?
Is your hair always in a ponytail? Chances are
you would be a great candidate for a short do! People who always wear their
hair up tend to be more comfortable with their facial features and having hair
off their neck. Ask your stylist what short style would best suit you. Don't
forget short hair can be just as sexy as long hair!
Want
Long Hair?
Long hair
can be beautiful if it’s done right. The most ideal length is right above the
chest. Layers are great for keeping this length moving rather than hanging. Any
type of long hair should be regularly trimmed and deep conditioned weekly.
Do
your Do with Dry Shampoo! Use a dry shampoo to re-fresh your hairstyle and restore volume. We suggest ReneFurterer’s Naturia ($24). It absorbs oil, leaving your hair full of bounce!
Teddie Tip: Ideal for 3-4 days after keratin straightening. Also extends color and blow-out. Ideal for the office, moms, long flights & post-workout.
