Summer Hair Care Tips
Summer is one of my most favorite times of year.
I love the sun kissing my shoulders and spending time at the beach or pool!
But did you also know that summer time can wreck havoc on your hair?
That summer sun that gives a nice golden glow to your skin also fades our haircolor and washes out our highlights.
Don’t even get me started on how the pool and ocean water dries out our glorious locks.
Never fear!
You can still enjoy summer and keep your hair looking and feeling amazing. Here are a few tips for you to try.
1. Wear a hat when you’re outside!
The sun is the number 1 culprit of your hair color fading and it doesn’t take long for it to happen. Floppy straw hats are on trend this season but anything that covers your head will do. Added bonus, your skin will thank you too! To help prevent haircolor from fading use LANZA Color Guard and use LANZA Color Illuminator to increase shine and vibrancy without weighing your hair down.
2. Rinse your hair with clean tap water before getting into the pool or ocean.
Your hair cannot absorb as much of the chlorine or salt water if it’s already full of clean water.
3. Rinse out the pool or salt water as soon as you can afterwards.
Shampooing is not necessary but you can condition to keep your hair supple and moisturized. LANZA Noni Fruit Leave in Condtioner, LANZA Trauma Treatment And LANZA Blonde Rescue are my current favs!
4. Put your hair in a loose braid, bun or ponytail when possible to keep the friction and tangles to a minimum.
This is a MUST when you have extensions. Use a coated elastic, a scrunchi or Invisibobble to secure in place. Soft cloth headbands or bandanas are great for keeping hair out of your face. To really eliminate wear and tear on your hair, save the hard plastic and metal hair accessories for when you aren’t exercising or outdoors where the elements tend to take a toll. Try LANZA Neem Serum to keep locks supple and silky.
5. Detangle gently and Condition heavily
Make sure you are really, really conditioning your hair well during the summer months. In addition to your normal shampooing and conditioning, Weekly or bi weekly masks are great. I love Keratin Healing Oil Intensive Mask by LANZA and Moi Moi Moisture Mask also by LANZA.
Also use a great daily leave in conditioner and detangle your hair gently with your fingers, a wide tooth comb or a Wet brush. This is an absolute MUST for our extension clients. Right now I'm loving LANZA Noni Fruit leave in conditioner on finer hair and LANZA Blonde Rescue on hair types that have been highlighted. For hair that’s a little thicker, I really like LANZA Keratin Healing Oil Defrizz Cream to air dry and create beach waves.
