After spending your time in the sun, vacationing in the sand and salt water, frequent trips to the pool and enduring the blistering heat, your hair is more than likely not feeling great. Your color may have faded to a brassy or dull shade; you could be experiencing frizz and brittleness; or just feel like your hair isn't quite looking its best. Don't worry, though, this damage is easily repaired! Just follow these steps for hair repair:
Replace Moisture by Conditioning
Summer heat, the sun, and exposure to such elements as salt water and chlorine do nothing but dry our hair out. The obvious answer to this problem is to condition in order to replace the moisture that was lost, but don't just trust your normal everyday conditioner -- it may not be enough. Try a masque like Paul Kenneth's Indulge Masque ($20.00) that will penetrate deep into the hair shaft and leave your hair feeling much smoother and healthier. Use it every time you wash your hair for a week, then use once or twice a week to keep your hair from feeling dry.
Banish Frizz
Everyone wants their hair to look healthy, and frizziness takes away from the smooth, shiny look that so many people seek. Getting rid of frizz used to be quite the challenge, but advances in hair care have made it much simpler. You can opt for a long-term treatment, such as the Keratin Smoothing Treatment (starting at...$275) or Express Smoothing Treatment ($165) for results that last 6 weeks to 3 months. Or try any of our smoothing products, such as the Keratin Therapy line of styling products, shampoo, and conditioner ($24) that will help heal any broken strands of hair and give your overall appearance luster and smoothness.
Refresh Your Color
The sun fades colors, including in your hair. If you typically have highlights, you'll probably notice that after summer they can appear brassy or yellowish. Those with darker hair or red shades might feel like their hair lacks its usual depth and shine. The answer to this is simple -- schedule a visit to the salon! The end of summer is the perfect time to touch up and refresh your color, and maybe even try something new for autumn. Just schedule highlights or a color retouch at Paul Kenneth Salon & Spa and you'll be well on your way to having fabulous color again.
Use the Right Shampoo
While you may be looking for body and volume, make sure to use the proper shampoo for your hair type. If you have dry, damaged hair, you're better off using a moisturizing shampoo in the shower, then relying on styling products and blow-drying to achieve body and lift at the roots. Since shampoo is rinsed out anyway, it has a more beneficial effect if you look at your hair texture to decide which type to use: Anti-Fade to reduce color fade, Highlights to keep your highlights bright and not brassy, Anti Frizz to smooth hair and reduce frizz, Pure Moisture to add moisture to dry hair, Maximum Fullness for hair that tends to get limp or weighed down easily.
Be Careful When Detangling
Dry hair is naturally more brittle and prone to breakage, so it is most vulnerable when wet and you're trying to comb through it or detangle. Try the Paul Kenneth's tangle Tamer brush, which detangles hair effortlessly without pulling or breaking strands.
