goodbye summer dry hair
Now that the kids have gone back to school, maybe you should think about making some time to focus on your own needs, starting from the top, i.e., your hair.
By the end of the summer, especially if your hair was not prepared for those hot summer days, those once lovely locks have turned dry, frizzy, uncontrollable, and in serious need of condition. Maybe your hair color is brassy or has gotten way too light. Don’t become discouraged, there is hope.
If the economy has taken a toll on your life style and you just can’t seem to get to the salon there are some home remedies. Making hair packs using natural ingredients is a good place to start; avocados, mayonnaise or even olive oil helps to moisturize and condition your hair. Vinegar or beers are great rinses that can be used to bring out natural highlights and close down the cuticle layer of the hair thereby reflecting more shine. Also tomato juice helps to take out chlorine damage.
In addition, it is good to find a good clarifying shampoo. Logics or Zerren are two name brands among many that help to loosen up and remove product buildup, chlorine, or stress from natural elements such as sun and wind. Many times all is needed is to clarify the hair which further helps to bring the shine back, thus making the hair feel better. If this was not enough, try a good moisturizer that can be left in your hair for 3-8 minutes after shampooing. Furthermore, if the hair is still unmanageable, it may need a good protein pack to rebuild and strengthen the hair shaft. Note, too much protein can make the hair feel weak and brittle, destroying the elasticity and integrity. Moisture is to hair as water is to the body. Protein is to hair as food is to the body.
Right now there are so many wonderful bargains promoting the Brazilian keratin treatment. This is the ultimate service you can get at a salon. Because of the pure keratin protein infused into the hair it will feel like pure luxury.
There are also special shampoos to take care of brassiness or green that may be left in the hair from chlorine damage.
If all the home remedies don’t work, go see your stylist and don’t wait for the holidays to take care of your hair or it will take more time and money to get it back into condition.
