Summer Hair Shape up

If your family is like mine, swimming and sunshine have taken their toll this summer. If your hair is dull, has a coppery shine, or looks a bit green, you may have “swimmer’s” hair. In addition, sunshine can lighten hair, burn your scalp, and cause split ends.

I offer fantastic in-salon services to help restore hair to its natural beauty and protect your hair and scalp from further summer damage.

To start with, you are going to want a Malibu Treatment. This treatment gently removes chlorine, iron, copper and any other buildup you may have from swimming pools and styling products. Since this service can take up to 45 minutes under the dryer alone, be prepared to relax in my comfy dryer chair.

After the Malibu Treatment, a deep conditioning treatment is imperative to restore shine, detangle and improve the all-around condition of your hair. Two that I recommend are Surface's Bassu Hydrating Mask and Moroccan Oil Restorative and/or Hydrating Hair Masks. This service takes up to 1/2 hour under the dryer, longer if needed.

Both of these services can be accomplished in one appointment.

To help protect your hair during the remainder of the summer, I recommend wetting your hair and adding a light conditioner to it before you swim. Then shampoo and condition your hair immediately after swimming. Malibu carries a Swimmer's Shampoo and Conditioner that can really help. Surface carries Trinity Protein Repair Tonic, a spray-in treatment that has natural UV protectants for hair and scalp.

I also highly recommend seeing your stylist regularly for trims to keep split ends under control.
