Summer hair care

Hair Care in the summer becomes challenging as we relax at the pool, beach or simple backyard sunbathing. Chlorine and sun exposure are two big factors in changing our hair from pretty to pale. Even as the sun gives our skin a golden hue (SPF friends!) it will bleach and lighten our color treated hair. This is frustrating to blondes, brunettes and redheads alike. So, to keep your color investment glossy use color preserving products and deep conditioning treatments to keep the hair hydrated and protected against all foes. The team at Breeze Blow dry bar provide such as superior products and conditioning services. For sun worshippers consider using Bumble and bumble’s UV shielding Color Minded products. The sulfate free Color Minded daily shampoo and conditioner are excellent for all hues and chemically straightened hair. Moisturizing Styling balm is perfect for natural looks such as poolside ponytails. Apply wet or dry. Color Minded Polish is a favorite at breeze. It’s a weightless product that gives immediate softness and high shine. Dryness and a loss of elasticity is also issue during summer time heat and after chemical processing. While you’re by the pool or at the beach add a deep conditioning mask once to twice a week that can be working on your hair as you relax mind and body. Deep conditioners penetrate the various layers of our hair and rinse off the hair easily. Daily conditioners are typically designed for detangling and smoothing hair and not penetrating all the layers of our hair. Different hair textures need different formulas of conditioners. For masking medium to thick hair textures, indulge using Bumble and bumbles Crème de cocoa Mask. This mask has a delicious aroma and a buttery texture. For finer hair try the Quenching Masque out of Bumbles’ Wear and Care line to give a high grade of conditioning without weight. Teens with Long, limp hair should try the Deep Treatment mask to give strength back to your locks. Another essential summer service is to schedule a glossing treatment to condition and shine hair. In 20 minutes this clear, non-pigmented, non-permanent color will not change your color but it will impart shine and luster. Come to Breeze to receive this quick fix and refresh your hair between coloring sessions with your stylist. Hair care is an ongoing battle to “put in what we take out” through chemical services in salon and outside of the salon due to environmental factors. If you treat your hair like your skin, your hair will glow with a little extra time and attention. Ask your stylist about stepping up your specialty treatments or visit us at Breeze blow dry bar for a wide range of treatments to keep your summer time hair happy!
