Follow these tips and instructions for you wonderful summer time enjoyment. Whether if you are at the beach or on vacation. Here is some really good advice for your artificial hair color!

Wash your hair immediately after swimming with a conditioning shampoo. If you  can’t wash your hair immediately, at least rinse your hair in the shower to  remove the chlorine or salt water.

After you shampoo, squeeze excess water from your hair and apply a thick,  moisturizing conditioner through your hair, concentrating on the ends. Some  companies manufacture specific shampoos and conditioners for swimmers that are  designed to remove chlorine, but regular hair products formulated for dry hair and chemically treated hair can also easily do the job for you!

Rinse the conditioner from your hair and squeeze excess water from your hair.  Dry your hair gently with a towel, and always make sure you comb out the hair with a wide tooth comb. I recommend a wooden comb, plastic combs will create snarls in the hair.

Apply some Shea Butter, or Cholesterol through your hair especially if it is colored treated. Concentrate on the ends of the hair and then work the product up the shaft of the hair.

If you dry your hair with a hair dryer, use the lowest heat setting possible, especially if the hair is fine and foiled highlighted. Blonde hair needs low temperature settings, or it will break if the air from the blow dryer is too high.

Apply cholesterol or Shea butter treatment to your hair once a week if you  swim often. This can help protect your hair from the ongoing effects of repeated  exposure to chlorine or salt water. You can apply this to the hair and let it stay on for 2-3 hours then shampoo off.

Summer Hair Color Tips!

~ Joseph Kellner ~ Leave a comment

Make sure that you ALWAYS use shampoos and conditioners for color-treated hair to protect and extend your color. If your hair is dry use a leave-in conditioner that will help keep the cuticle sealed. You can also use a conditioning masque once a week. Highlighted and bleached blondes are one of the most fragile colors, so they should double-dose on treatments. I highly recommend professional hair care which is sold in the Joseph Kellner Salon. Dry hair isn’t a pretty look. The sun damages the hair enough without the aid of products that dry the hair. Avoid using products such as shampoos, conditioners, gels, and other styling products that contain alcohol, sulfur, and formaldehyde.

  • Periodically give your hair a vacation from styling products, blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, and hot rollers.

Tanning in the hot sun is not only bad for your skin but it can also lead to hair dryness. To prevent this problem from occurring, it is ideal to lay off the blow dryer and hair irons during this time. There is no better time than summer to embrace your natural hair texture. Avoiding hot styling tools will also help reduce breakage, which is the primary care of frizz. The problem is even more common during the summer since your locks tend to be drier than usual. Try wearing “wash and go styles,” which are increasingly popular for natural hair care during the summer months.When it is possible allow the hair to air dry. Apply a heat protectant  to the hair before using a heat appliance. Use the lowest settings on the appliance to avoid damage. Other styles to wear to avoid using heat appliances include braids and dreadlocks.

  • Use a conditioner made for your specific hair needs at least twice a week, especially if you spend a lot of time out in the sun.

It’s also said that running your hair under water before hitting the pool can help to prevent it from absorbing chlorinated water. This can be ideal for women who find that their color-treated hair turns green during the summer season. Avoid dry hair by keeping your hair hydrated. Use a hair moisturizer daily. This will also help strengthen your mane. A moisturizer containing shea butter is great for daily use.

  • Avoid putting too much product in your hair. It will weigh it down and make it look dull rather than shiny.
