Keeping your hair "STELLAR" - Post Beach

Can you believe the beach season is already here?

I'm pretty sure that the department stores are busy with people shopping for seasonal stuff like...bathing suits, sun block, tanning lotion, flip-flops etc.

Many times, investing in great hair products slip our busy little minds. You know the part of the department store that we forget about?...yeah, the tiny little hair care section walk pass fragrances, to the right of accessories and right before the stock room that has a sign on the door that says "Employees Only"? Remember now? Smile


The haircare area in most department stores have a great selection of products. Usually you can find products from very reputable companies. Ask your beauty advisor for samples. Most times they are more than willing.


In case you didn't know, Each of our hair strands is composed of a cuticle surrounding and protecting the cortex. Our hair produces a natural lubricant called sebum which protects and moistens hair cuticles. The sebum gives the cortex an added layer of protection. Chlorine, draws the lubricating sebum from the hair leaving it super dry and brittle. The same goes for Sea Salt. These two pals can leave you wondering if its time for a relaxer, perm or even a new hair color even though you just had one last week!


Recommended products for keeping your hair in "STELLAR" shape after fun in a pool or at the beach:


Conditioning shampoo and conditioners - A MUST for post chlorine/salt water hair. For very dry hair try using Kerastase oil treatment

Moroccan Oil is great for distressed hair. This product will not weigh your hair down or have it feeling extra oily.

Leave-in conditioner - Kiehl's works great on most hair types. After applying a leave-in conditioner you can either air dry or blow dry your hair.


Gorgeous Beach hair tips!
**
Pre-condition your hair with a little leave-in conditioner. Carry a mini blow dryer with you to seal those beach waves/curls in place!
