Summer Hair Care Essentials

While summer is filled with fun activities…the sun, salt and chlorine can wreck havoc on my hair…since my hair is long and blonde, I have to be diligent in caring for it so that it does not become dry, brittle and faded. I have used a variety of products over the years and the ones featured here are my current summer hair care essentials. 

To Style

I like to use Oribe Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray…unlike sea salt sprays, this spray gives your hair texture and shine without being overly stiff. I use it after washing my hair to create relaxed beach waves or spray it before I begin curling my hair with my Enzo Milano Curling Wand to give texture. The bonus is that it smells like you should be sunning in Capri or St. Tropez.  Available at www.oribe.com.

To Brighten

To my fellow blondes…you know how it goes, if you are blonde, you only want to be blonder during the summer. I use the Oribe Bright Blonde Shampoo to keep my blonde highlights super blonde during summer months.  I love pouring it out in the shower because it has a beautiful blue-violet hue that keeps my hair from becoming brassy. Available at www.oribe.com.

To Protect

After spending time in the pool or ocean, I like to shampoo with Aveda Sun Care Hair and Body Wash because it is designed to remove chlorine and salt without fading your color. Available at www.aveda.com.

To Detangle

Post swimming or after I shower, I do not want to damage my hair by brushing it so I use the Oribe Run Through Detangling Primer. I love this detangler because it is so light…it does not leave my hair greasy or heavy and allows me to brush through easily.  Available at www.oribe.com.

To Hydrate

After a weekend in the sun and water, I will often leave the Aveda Sun Care After-Sun Hair Masque in overnight. I shampoo it out in the morning and my hair feels and smells amazing. Available at www.aveda.com.

To Heal

If I feel I need more repair than hydration I will use Aveda Damage Remedy to wash, condition or apply the masque to make my hair to feel healthy and soft again. The Damage Remedy collection is designed to repair and strengthen damaged hair.  Available at www.aveda.com.
