Summer Hair Guide 2016

Your GO TO guide for gorgeous hair all summer long.

With the temps already climbing here in sunny San Diego I've got summer on my mind! Our leisure days will soon be filled with lots of fun outdoor activities; beaching, boating, and barbecuing with friends and family. Yay! Welcome summer 2016!

Keeping your hair in tip top shape regardless of all that summer 'fun' you subject it to is not a problem when you follow my tips and product suggestions:

Protection from the elements. Before cooling off in the salty water of the ocean or taking a dip in the chlorine filled pool water, wet your hair with fresh water. Letting your hair soak up the fresh water first will allow less of the harsh water into your hair cuticle. In addition, whenever possible, put conditioner on your hair after wetting it with fresh water. The conditioner acts as an additional barrier to keep the salt and chemicals at bay.

CONDITIONER PICK:

ORIBE GOLD LUST REPAIR & RESTORE CONDITONER

KERASTASE LAIT VITAL

Going for a drive up the coast, in a convertible?! Good for you! But don't forget to grab a scarf on your way out the door. Playing volleyball in the sun all afternoon? Throw on a hat- and don't forget sunscreen for you skin too! Giving your hair a cloth layer of protection when you will be in the sun and wind for long periods of time is essential in keeping your hair color rich and your ends less prone to split ends. Another way to prevent split ends is to treat them anytime of day:

SPLIT END TREATMENT PICK:

ORIBE SPLIT END SEAL

KERASTASE ELIXIR ULTIME OLEO-COMPLEXE 15 SOLID SERUM

Deep Conditioning is your hair savior! Swap out your traditional conditioning routine by using a hair masque as your conditioner most times you wash this summer. Before applying, squeeze out the excess water from you hair and apply to ends first, working your way up the stands. Give the masque a few minutes to penetrate into your hair and rinse.

MASQUE PICK:

KERASTASE ELIXIR ULTIME OLEO-COMPLEXE

ORIBE SIGNATURE MASQUE

Heatstyling. Giving your hair a break form heat styling can make a huge difference in the health of you hair. I suggest giving your heat tools a few more days off during the warmer months due to the increase of harsh environmental factors.

Have you ever used the windows down, blow-dry method? Its pretty fun! After washing and conditioning hair, apply your leave in product of choice and a texture supporting product like: KERASTASE SPRAY A PORTER. Get in your car, roll all your windows down, hop on the freeway and before you know it your hair is dry and summer ready. My favorite low maintenance way to do summer hair. When you have somewhere to be later in the day and your looking for more of a finished style, pick up a couple of random sections and wrap them around a larger curling iron and finish with ORIBE'S DRY TEXTURE SPRAY to get that effortlessly tousled, lived in style.

Leave ins are your hair's best friend! Giving you ease in detangling and creating an even foundation for styling products. Many leave ins also offer heat and UV protection. The quickest and easiest habit your hair will thank you for. Apply a small amount into your towel dried hair and evenly distribute.

LEAVE IN PICK:

ORIBE RUN-THROUGH DETANGLING PRIMER

KERASTASE FLUIDISSIME (Helps combat frizz too!)

Spending a few extra minutes thinking about the health of your hair this summer can make all the difference! After all, healthy hair is the prettiest hair.
