Undo Summer Hair Damage
A
fter a season of fun in the sun, fall is the ideal time
to undo the damage that chlorine, salt water and
ultraviolet rays wreaked on your hair.
How can you easily transition your summer
mane into luscious fall locks? The hair experts
at Hotheads share their advice on how to eliminate dryness and
brittleness, while improving elasticity, bounce and shine.
“Sometimes all you need is a simple trimming of rough hair edges
to rejuvenate your look,” explained Michael Victor, hair stylist and
co-founder of Hotheads. “But fall is also the time to re-evaluate your
products, including your shampoo or conditioner. What clients often
neglect is a good, deep treatment. Choose carefully depending upon the
amount of damage you have. And remember that a weekly treatment
should be done two to four consecutive weeks for the best results. One
single treatment is usually a waste.”
It is also important to take a good look at your styling tools. If you
are using a comb or brush with broken or worn bristles, Victor advises
getting rid of them as they could be causing further breakage if your
hair is already fragile from the summer. And make sure you are using the
right brush for your hair type and styling needs.
For example, Hotheads’ Grooming Paddle Plus is a multi-purpose
brush. It can be used on wet or dry hair to detangle without tearing
or pain for those with sensitive scalps. It is also great for blow-drying.
“Brushing will help distribute natural scalp oils throughout the hair,”
Victor said. “This helps to reduce that rough look of your post-summer
hair.
“And regular brushing will help create microcirculation, increasing
blood flow to the roots of the hair, improving its growth and quality,”
he added.
