Sun, chlorine can be harsh on the hair. Here I will tell you the most important must knows of summer hair health tips.


  1. Heat free girls. Wear your natural hair ladies. Yes, keep those curls natural. Stay of that blow drier, iron and curling iron. Air dry as much as you can. 
  2. Stay away chemical like bleach, especially if you love the pools. Chlorine can be harsh and will extremely, dry your hair.
  3. Use leave-in conditioners while hanging out in the day. Scalp also needs sun protection. Many people forget this. There are many leave in condition that has SPF protection.
  4. Humid, hot days hair styles: You can braid, or make buns even ponytails. Hair can still be stylish in the summer.

Sun against Cancer and Skin aging



With the sunny days ahead I wanted to remind everyone how important it is for skin protection. Skin cancer and skin aging is not cool. We all are at risk and we can protect ourselves and our loved ones. I want to show you some tips and still look good out in the sun.

 For example:

 the Floppy Hats, look at this fabulous styles. These are the hats that Kim K, JLO and Vanessa H wear. Top it off with a sute, summer dress just like Vanessa in the picture.




Umbrellas:

Who said umbrellas are for rainy days only? They can be a perfect protection for those hot, sunny days. They can be stylish too.

 

Sunscreen lotion:

Make sure it says SPF higher than 30 according to the FDA and less than 3 years old. Check the experation date and be safe. Apply before and after pool and even for a walk in the neighborhood.



Coverups:

Tank tops are cool but skin free of cancer is cooler. Try a fashion jacket over the tank on those sunny hours of the day. You won't be sorry. :)


Shades:

Most shades are with rays protection. They can save you from and early wrinkle, you know those crows feet! Use them. 



Moisturize Skin:

Sun can really dries your skin. Make sure you moisturize your skin. I use vitamin E lotion daily.




If you see a change in any moles please check with your doctor asap. Let's prevent skin cancer, and delay skin aging. Stay healthy and beautiful!

Thank You,

Sun and Pools will damage hair in the Summer




SUN IS A BALL OF FIRE~!


 Sun is the cause of many bad things. Even though it is many people do not take the proper precautions before tannning, not using hats or even not protecting their children. I recommend no sun at all but if you must wear sunscreen. Protection for your hair is a must. Wear hats especially at the beach. Sun can really burn your hair. There are also many products that have sunscreen protection in them like for example:

 Redken’s UV Rescue Shimmering Defense is a creamy, citrus scented potion that leaves a shiny shield on your locks to protect against color dehydration and drying sun rays.





What about pools? God knows I can be all day in the pool with a glass of wine ok well many glasses of wine. Chlorine is what I want to talk about. Chlorine is a chemical that inside the pool for sanitary purposes, but it is also very damaging for the hair. I am posting a few good hair tips that you can follow for more healthier hair before the pool.

  • wet hair before entering pool with leave in conditioner - this will help prevent hair from soaking up the harsh, chlorinated pool water.
  • you can wear a cap. I know they are not cute. You can thank me later though ;) lol
  • Shampoo your hair as soon as you get out the pool. This will help to remove most of the chlorine before it can do great damage. * A clarifying shampoo is not necessary unless a green hue is on your hair.
  • last but not least maintaining hair trimmed 4 to 8 weeks is ideal! I can cut it for you just call me for an appointment!
  • Bonus Remeber there are no cure for split ends besides cutting it off. So let's take care of our hair ladies.
