Back-to-School Hair Help: Repairing Summer Damage

As the school year approaches, it's time to get your hair back on track after a summer filled with sun, swimming, and fun. All those beach days and pool dips can take a toll on your hair, leaving it dry, brittle, and damaged. But don’t worry! We’ve got the ultimate guide to reviving your locks and getting them ready for a fresh start this fall.

Understanding Summer Hair Damage

Summer activities can wreak havoc on your hair. Chlorine from pools, salt from the ocean, and prolonged sun exposure can strip your hair of its natural moisture and weaken its structure. To restore your hair’s health, you need a comprehensive routine focused on repair, hydration, and protection.

Tip 1: Clarify and Cleanse

After a summer of fun, your hair needs a thorough cleanse to remove buildup from chlorine, salt, and styling products. Start with a clarifying shampoo to deeply cleanse your hair and scalp. Redken’s Hair Cleansing Cream Shampoo is perfect for this job. It effectively removes impurities without stripping your hair of essential moisture.

Tip 2: Deep Conditioning Treatments

Deep conditioning is essential for restoring moisture and repairing damage. Kérastase’s Resistance Masque Extentioniste is a powerful treatment that strengthens and revitalizes damaged hair. Use it once a week to give your hair the intensive care it needs.

Tip 3: Hydrate and Protect

To keep your hair hydrated and protected, incorporate leave-in treatments and serums into your routine. Fusio-Dose in salon treatments by Kérastase offer customized treatments that target your specific hair needs, providing long-lasting hydration and protection against future damage.

Styling Strategies for Healthier HairTip 4: Minimize Heat Styling

Excessive heat styling can further damage already weakened hair. Embrace heat-free styles like air-drying, braiding, or using foam rollers to create waves. If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant spray to minimize damage.

Tip 5: Choose Nourishing Styling Products

Opt for styling products that nourish and protect your hair. Redken All Soft Leave-in Treatment helps to prevent breakage and split ends while adding strength and shine to your hair.

Expert Tips and Tricks

  • Trim Regularly: Regular trims help to remove damaged ends and keep your hair looking healthy.
  • Use a Swim Cap: Protect your hair from chlorine and saltwater by wearing a swim cap or rinsing your hair with fresh water before swimming.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.
