Yea! Summer is in full swing. Finally! The beaches are packed! It’s all good!

Well, maybe not all good. What about your hair? It is screaming for moisture. If you are a traveler, dealing with weather-beaten hair can sometimes be a real drag. Your hair can feel dehydrated, look parched, the color can fade more quickly and your overall results simply aren’t what they should be.

Well, not to worry! A Beverly Hills stylist offers quick tips on caring for your hair this summer.

The number one biggest tip? Always wear a wide-brim hat. This way, you not only cover and protect your hair, but your skin as well. You can find all sorts of hats, all shapes, sizes and colors. Fantasia has a full inventory of hats. They are cool and fun to wear.

While there is not really a sunscreen for hair, there are products that have sun protecting/UV defending agents in them. Pureology makes a great product called Colourmax. This light-weight leave in conditioner is absolutely great for de-tangling and has UV defenders in it as well. Sunflower for example, is a natural UV defender. Ask your salon professional about protecting your hair with great products this summer.

Ask your stylist for a glossing or deep conditioning service on your next visit. This will help give your hair the moisture boost it may need to fight extreme weather this summer.

Book routine hair appintments. Don’t go too long in between cuts or color services. Hair will look more weather beaten or dehydrated the longer you wait. If you want healthy looking hair, it’s important to book routine appointments. Think of it like working out at the gym. The more consistent you are, the better your results.
