Basic Bs for Healthy Hair

While the summer sun can bring a much-needed dose of mood-boosting Vitamin D, often hair can be left stressed and damaged. Lightening services, salt water or chlorine swimming, and general sun exposure can leave long hair in desperate need of a health retreat of its own! Remembering these Basic Bs will help keep those strands stronger for longer:

Build-up – spending a lot of time at the beach or the pool? Chlorine or salt can leave various degrees of chemicals and minerals in porous hair. Incorporating a clarifying shampoo will keep your hair free of buildup that renders it brittle and discolored.

Try:

• Kaaral Baco Color Clarifying Shampoo – Color-safe clarifying with aloe and panthenol for softness and elasticity.
• Kevin.Murphy Maxi.Wash - A detoxifying shampoo that contains AHA's (fruit acids) to break down fatty acids for a clean, clear scalp.

Balance – Moisture + Protein together forever. Clean hair with a happy pH needs a balance of moisture and protein together to maximize strength. Many people focus on a suite of products exclusively dedicated to hydration or repair – combining that moisture and protein in balance makes each work better!

Try:

• Schwartzkopof Fibre Clinix – a fully customizable line of shampoos, conditioners, masque, and boosters. Mix and match to suit your hair’s needs perfectly. The Hydrate Treatment Masque with one pump of Fortify Booster checks both “Balance” boxes!
• Kaaral Purify Restructure Treatment – This tiny vial packs a protein punch! Apply on wet hair simultaneous to your favorite conditioner and you’ll be amazed at the shine and strength. Like adding a scoop of protein powder to your favorite smoothie!

Buffer – Just like you put sunscreen on your skin to protect it from the summer rays, hair will greatly benefit from a buffer from the elements. Consider specific heat protecting products when using hot tools or just a general protecting spray for daily use. These products are very flexible, providing a nice dose of protection without weighing it down regardless of whether you choose to style that day or not.

Try:

• Uniq1 Hair Treatment – From UVB filters to heat protection the Uniq1 sprays cover all the buffer bases without weighing you down. Spray in wet hair before styling (or before tossing on a hat or scrunchie) and feel confident that your hair is properly protected.
• Keratherapy Kerastyle Rapid Rescue- Transform your hair to shiny, smooth and healthy all while protecting from the sun, styling and environmental damage.
