Summer in Chicago is the best time of year - the entire city comes alive and pours out onto our amazing beaches, street and music fests, movies in the parks and more. What can be not-so-great is the havoc that summer heat and humidity that can wreak on our hair! Here are several indispensable summer hair care products to help you keep your hair healthy, gorgeous and manageable all summer long!
Sunscreen for Hair
Our skin isn’t the only thing we should be covering up from the sun - UV rays can fry hair if it has too much sun exposure and will fade out color treated hair.. Use a sunscreen spray for hair to protect it from the sun’s harsh rays and to extend your color!
Purple Shampoos
Use a purple shampoo to combat brassiness that comes with a bit too much fun in the sun and especially with chlorine. Blondes aren’t the only ones that get brassy; brunettes who notice their hair going a bit orange-y can also benefit from purple shampoos!
Hydrating, Anti-Frizz Conditioners
Humidity can make anyone’s hair frizz out, and frizzy hair is more susceptible to sun damage. Keeping your hair hydrated helps prevent hair damage and keep it more manageable even in high humidity. Select a conditioner that is specifically meant to be moisturizing for your tresses.
Daily / Weekly Treatments
It’s a good idea to use a daily or weekly hair treatment if you’re spending a lot of time out of doors and exposed to the elements, no matter the time of year. Daily leave-in conditioners or weekly hair repair masks are great for repairing heat and sun damaged hair and keeping your hair strong and healthy no matter where you take your hair!
