The summer months can leave hair a bit frazzled, dry and damaged. Sun, increased humidity, and swimming, added to the usual heat styling, can increase damage and make your hair difficult to manage. Here are our favorite tips and recommendations to help you manage unruly locks and avoid bad hair days all summer long.
Using a hair mask weekly is essential to nourish your hair structure from the inside, give tired hair shine, and restore moisture to prevent frizz. Choosing a mask that suits your hair type is critical to avoid it weighing your hair down.

UV radiation is the biggest enemy of colored or highlighted hair. It causes the artificial pigment to oxidize or fade. There are now sprays that block UV radiation, like sunscreen just for the hair. We love the RAHUA Hydration Detangler because it not only provides sun protection, but is also deeply hydrating, perfect to apply before and after a trip to the beach.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is brushing wet hair aggressively. Hair that has absorbed water is more elastic than when it's dry. If you pull on the hair hard with a brush, it overstretches and doesn't fully return to its original position. The result is frayed, brittle, and broken hair. Depending on the structure, this encourages frizz. To prevent this damage, comb your hair gently after washing, starting at the tips, and apply a hydrating product or towel dry slightly to minimize damage.

Since hair grows from the scalp, it is important to keep it healthy. We love to take self-care seriously with good head massages with hair/scalp oil. The oil and the gentle massage will help promote healthy hair growth. Follow with a scalp scrub pre-shampoo to refresh the skin on the scalp and promote cell turnover leading to more vibrant strands.
