As summer comes to an end and festival season starts to wrap up, it’s probably time for a post summer refresh. While you were having fun in the sun, your hair was probably fading. Even though it’s nice being at the beach with all that sun, sand, and water, your hair was getting dry and damaged from all that sun and salt. Here are a couple ideas to help give your hair a healthy refresh from all this dry heat!

refresh your tone

A lot of people get highlights in the beginning of summer but don’t refresh them after they’ve faded. With how popular the silver hair trend is, few people want to have brassy hair. A full color service isn’t necessary to bring it back to what it was when they first got done. Most often, people just need a simple gloss or toning treatment.

This service is going to be a lot cheaper and easier than having to sit through a full color and highlight service. A gloss or toner (both terms are used interchangeably) can be a great way to take that tone back to what it was supposed to be. Take that ghastly golden back to the pretty pearl it originally was.

update your products

With the dry heat summer still upon us, protecting from sun damage is super important! Using a leave-in conditioner paired with an argan oil is a great start to every morning routine! Whether blow-dry styling, flat ironing, or just wearing your natural texture, these products can help maintain any hair style from heat, sun damage, and external elements.

Using leave-ins is so great because it also softens, detangles, de-frizzes, tames flyaways, eases styling, and protects against breakage. It’s a great go-to that is a must for any style routine!

I will always put a lot in my hair after a shower then I put more in every morning. Everybody’s hair type and texture is different, so I always tell people to start with a little bit then add more as needed. It’s easy to put more on, but it’s not easy to take it out. There are so many leave-ins and oils out there on the market! Find the one that’s right for you, your hair, and your budget!
